entitlement

[Mr. dB]

Over the last week I've been disgusted by two incidents involving New Orleans refugees who feel entitled to special treatment. At the restaurant next to the bar where I work, the manager comped lunch meals to a couple after finding out that they were flood refugees. They then started running up the tab with more drinks, appetizers, desserts and such. There was no tip on the table when they left, either. The couple then re-appeared at dinner time expecting more.

And last night in the bar where I do the sound for the live bands, a group of rowdy customers started heckling the band with requests. The band was a sort of Grateful Dead-ish hippy jam band playing mostly songs they wrote themselves, the requests were for classic R&B tunes like "Mustang Sally". The group of hecklers got quite belligerent when their requests were politely refused, and claimed that because they were from New Orleans that they were "entitled".

I wonder how much of this is going on in other cities that are hosting numbers of refugees?

We have about 250 refugees in Mass.

Entitled to suck the ass of everyone else, yes.

I don't understand the entitlement crap either. What happened sucks, no doubt. And yeah, they are entitled to regular government issued aid. No way are they "entitled" to anything else though.

jesse jackson will claim you're racist for calling them refugees, then profess how you should be honored to wipe their asses.

We killed our first batch of refugees. The others are being sent to Caribou. It should start snowing in a week. Operation Donner Party Part Two now in effect.

Escambia County Sheriff's Office arrested a man staying at our refugee center north of town at an Elementary School. Was a murder suspect who escaped prison during the storm.

Mr DB...

Bad people are bad people

The army has killed many of the "criminal element" in NO as stated by Eddie Compass from looting and what not. People are going to take advantage of the katrina situation to the point stores in Laplace have lines to get in. it's sickening.

Not sure what the answer is to trash but calling them trash no matter what the color of the individual is

I was waiting for this. I deliberately didn't say what the racial make-up of these two groups was.

As it so happens, the couple in the restaurant were white. The group in the bar was mixed.

Agreed...

Black people need to stop automatically believing the headlines and assuming thier own people are the causes of trouble.

But in the same voice there are black people who are scared to socialize and walk the neighborhhods of this country because the majority of people in that neighborhood are thier own...

Sad that but that's the effect of not having a real leader, Just like the democatic party. leadership starts at the top...

The people in your mess may have been black but you did not state that, and blacks need to analyze the situation for what it is and not what the news / the judical system or other majority white people will have us believe.

The media report was "atleast 5" at the levee in the thread I shot pictures of.

200 arrests total

But I will reply to this by saying that this is the main goal of racism... to make a person who looks different hate themselves. In terms of black people , it has worked well, unfortunately.
