Witness how F*cked Up America Really Is - Hurricane Katrina Doc.

[BrooklynDiva]

All weed smokers know how f*cked up America is. But Hurricane Katrina opened the eyes of many Americans about race, class, and especially government in this country. The one year anniversary of this tragedy is this week. How many of us have already forgotten?


Well, one person refuses to let anyone forget. Director Spike Lee created a 4-part documentary for HBO, "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" that will premiere tonight at 9. (Actually, Acts I & II will be shown tonight, III and IV tomorrow night.) From what I hear it is quite good. It doesn't point fingers (not that it would be hard to do), but instead gives us the facts along with the views of those who lived through it, then allows us to form our own opinions.

I urge everyone to watch this documentary. And I've started this thread so that people can discuss anything regarding the subject. The bastards of the American government may have forgotten, but I know that we sure as hell haven't.

Evactuation = get the fuck out

You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.....


OK if you are slow.... you can tell people to evacuate, but you cant make them leave.


Yes the goverment made many mistakes..............

That is the problem with you socialist.... wait for the goverment to help....

Fuck the Goverment I would do it on my own...........

[Psycho4Bud]

Christ, they showed people drinking on Bourbon St., others stocking up on beer for the hotels....

Then when they sent in the National Guard to MAKE people leave others bitched about that! If the Government steps in their wrong, if they don't their wrong....

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

P4B.... I was posting on OG at the time.

There was this guy from NO that was like...."Its not going Flood"....

he was like "all i need is my grow and some beers".......

we never herd from him again.


But what do I know.

If i was living under sea level i would have had some flood insurance and a full tank off Gas............

I have supplys stocked right now......

This was a huge part of the emergency evacuation plan that the CITY/STATE didn't put into effect.......what the hell, blame Bush and the fed.

LOL....have a good one!:thumbsup:

Lol, well no wonder most Americans will think their country is fucked up, with Spike Lee behind the camera.

No offence to him and what he does, but he always, always plays the 'race' card in his movies. He uses that to twist and manipulate the truth into what he wants: a 90-minute program about how, as always, African Americans are 2nd class citizens in America. Take this show about Hurricane Katrina. Everyone had more than enough time to evacuate, and if they didn't, it was their own lack of common sense that sealed their fate, whatever it was.

I am just sick and tired of seeing movie after movie from Spike Lee about how African Americans are still seen and treated differently compared to the whites. One movie, fine. But when he continues to make a career out of stretching and bending the truth, I have a problem with it. I did like "He Got Game", but that's about it. ~

[Myth1184]

Spike Lee is a racist, and this documentary is total BS.


Spike Lee himself said Bush is responsible for the disaster, he even goes as far as saying the Levees were blown up.


Dont waste your time
