yeah that indeed was a ignorant statement....then again i've heard alot of ignorant statements in refrence to this hurricane so im not suprised anymore.

Ignorant statements made by ignorant people who spend their $2000 debit relief card on $800 purses. Then again, THAT is why they are poor to begin with. They don't know shit about finances, are highly uneducated, and lack the self-control to do the right thing. OF COURSE they are going to make uneducated statements about the hurricane! Of course they are going to think that everything is a conspiracy. A lack of knowledge allows for you to be more easily pursueded into believing false truths and cries of racism when they don't even exist.

An empty head is one just waiting to be filled with knowledge. It doesn't matter if the "knowledge" is factual or not. What matters is what knowledge gets there the quickest.

spending that money on an $800 purse? that person needs to be kicked in the head. that money is to help you get back on your feet in some way - and you don't need that expensive of a purse - give a $10 one - it will last just as long!

Lavish tastes of card-carrying lowlifes

Friday, September 9th, 2005

Profiteering ghouls have been using debit cards distributed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina - intended to buy essentials for evacuated families - in luxury-goods stores as far away as Atlanta.

"We've seen three of the cards," said a senior employee of the Louis Vuitton store at the Lenox Square Mall in affluent Buckhead, who asked not to be named. "Two I'm certain have purchased; one actually asked if she could use it in the store. This has been since Saturday."


The distinctive white cards were distributed by the Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and carry a value of up to $2,000.


"It doesn't say anything on the card other than alcohol, tobacco and firearms cannot be purchased with it," the store employee told me. "There's nothing legally that prevents us from taking it, unfortunately. Other than morally, it's wrong."


The source told me that the two women who had made purchases with the card each bought a signature monogrammed Louis Vuitton handbag in the $800 range.


"They didn't look destitute by any stretch. You would never have said, 'They must be one of the evacuees.' … The one that I dealt with yesterday was 20. She'll be 21 next month." The source described the reaction of other store-keepers in the mall - which includes luxury brands Ferragamo, Burberry, Judith Leiber and Neiman Marcus - as "outrage."


"It doesn't say anywhere on there, but it would have to be a good amount to be shopping in here," the source said with a dark chuckle.
