Just got off phone with FEMA

well i just called fema and asked some questions....


why were katrina victims given $2000 debit cards after the storm but there is 0 financial aid being given to us? they said it was a different type of disaster or some bs ... i said how so the guy was just like i dont make the rules dc does...

i asked if it was because those people were black and poor and were crying that they weren't getting aid because they were black?

i asked what about all the fema trailers that they have and why weren't they up here ?? the guy just said he didnt know and they might be coming up here and referred me to a disaster center in my county

i asked how come katrina victims were given food clothing shelter and all that cash and we have none of that available and he said it was a different kind of disaster and when i asked how come he didnt have an answer and i heard a supervisor or someone pickup and start listening in on the call

he basically had no answers other then i might get rental assistance but no clue as to when the inspector would call me just to sit by my phone and wait

then to top it off after i was saying all this and how it sounded racist against white people he pretends he cant hear me when i can hear him as clear as day and had plenty of signal on my phone and hangs up


so basically katrina victims who were mostly all black got 2000 cash ... food stamps/vouchers trailers and housing and clothing diapers etc etc and us white people up here who paid for all those nice things are getting ...ummmmm.... well we can go stay on a used cot in a local shelter for a while and wait for fema to call us

also was told none of that type of assistance would be made available to us and any financial aid and food stamp type aid or anything like that would have to go through the state not fema that fema is only covering property damages

also i am not a racist i have nothing against blacks or what they were given just wondering why we who are mostly all white are getting jack shit

also im not looking for a handout they are not letting me go back to work so therefor i need financial aid which there is none available
