It got me thinking when someone sent me a picture of a poor black women looting in New Orleans.... Are poor blacks the only ones looting or is everyone going out in equal numbers to pick and steal every 40" LCD TV screen they can rip out of best buy?

If the answer is "No, only blacks are stealing" then should the Jesse Jacksons of the country really be screaming RACISM everytime poor blacks happen to be the ones looting? Should we blame rich white conservatives for an economical/sociological cause and effect?

This isn't ment to be a derogatory post towards blacks or anything, but this disclaimer alone shows why this is a touchy subject....

good question....

Whether it be stealing, or importing and selling drugs, it is the same. It is a pyramid structure. Those at the top are rarely seen while those at the bottom, doing the grunt work are the most visible. So a high percentage of those in prison are black on drug charges. They may be habitual drug dealers, but not for kilos, for ounces usually. So blacks are on the more visible side of the drug scene.

Then you have the CIA, Cocaine Import Agency, who do the dirty work for the White Men and Women who generationally, have run the drug trade. In the 1800's Halliburton etc was known as The East India Company, working on behalf of the British Government, trading in "spices". The same people, still run the world drug trade today - they also run the central banks, those who control the money supply of all the major countries. They also control the IMF and World bank. These banks lend so much money to poor nations, which is just entering a few keys on a computer these days, as we are off the gold standard. When the poor country defaults on payments, the bank accepts what assets the 3rd world country had put up as collateral. the electric company, the water supply, complete infrastructures..........this is stealing, we just call it legal confiscation. You can repay your mortage for 20 years on time, say you get injured and can't work, well then the bank can "re-possess" your home - nice, the same with cars, anytime you come into contact with these fuckers it is the same rules, theirs. The IRS are stealing from you. Most people work 2 months a year just to pay it to the IRS.

So do black people steal, sometimes, but so does the average white man sometimes.........


But nothing compared to the greed and corruption of those legally stealing who run the finanical institutions of the world. Their crime has more of a negative effect on the worlds standard of living than a poor person nicking a tv that cost $18 to produce. It is just a matter of scale.

"A black kid gets arrested,
gonna do some time.
he gets out a year from now
just to commit more crime"

A businessman is caught
with twenny four kilos
He's out on bail and out of jail
and thats the way it goes...

..so don't do it"

Karmically though, it is still stealing so they have to deal with that.

I think that "looting" food is alright since all the food there is gonna go bad and will be a total waste so why not let the people that need the food just have it ya know. As for people looting tvs and all that other crap thats just being a doucher

Yeah, pretty much everything in that town is a complete fucking write off anyways. If people are stealing to survive that's fine.

However, it seems that the looting led to worse lawlessness, rapes, robberies, murders, etc. As people realized they could get away with little things, they moved on to bigger things. So I don't know how to feel. Perhaps we should declare all food/water public property. Again, it is not like it is going to be recovered and put back on the shelf.

Problem is, is that we have no way to think outside the box of our capitalist system. That is why we will rebuild New Orleans. Because there is no precedent for abandoning land like that. People own that land, so we will build a new (underwater) fucking city.
