Wow, today I witnessed black people protesting section 8 (link on page 3)

What a piece of shite that guy must be

Sounds like that court session was a full blown joke.

You mean government housing(projects)? Section 8 is everywhere.

At that point, Senator Murray who represents some district in New Orleans, stopped the testimony and asked, "did you just call your tenants that pay rent to you inmates"

Would have loved to see the face of guy who made the statement originally when he realized it

Today I was at the state capitol attending the Bond Commission meeting.

What were you doing at the Bond Commission meeting?

There's a really nice middle class black neighborhood in South Monroe that was up in arms about section 8 a couple of years ago. I don't know how that all turned out.

We live in such wonderful times.

Yes, there was a rape here because the mother was irresponsible and not watching her daughter and what do you want us to do about a murder, put up a fence and bars to protect all the inmates". At that point, Senator Murray who represents some district in New Orleans, stopped the testimony and asked, "did you just call your tenants that pay rent to you inmates"

fricking BAWSS.

Not all black people live in section 8 and there are plenty that don't tolerate the trash that do.

This is an ignorant thread title.

Section 8- supporting people like Sharon Jasper for over 60 years.



" Sharon Jasper has spent 57 or her 58 years dedicated to one cause and one cause only, and has nothing to show for her dedicated servitude. She has lived in Section 8 housing all but 1 of her 58 years. It was a legacy passed down from her parents who moved into Sharon Jasper photo Section 8 housing in 1949 when she was six months old. She has passed the legacy down to her children, but fears they may have to get jobs to pay for the utilities and deposits.

She laments about her one year hiatus from the comfort of her Section 8 nirvana, "I tried it for a year..you know...working and all. It's not anything I would want to go through again, or wish on anyone in my family, but I am damn proud of that year."

Sharon was moved out of her St. Bernard housing project after hurricane Katrina and into a new, yet albeit, substandard quarterage. As can be noted from the above photo of her new Section 8 home, it is repugnant and not suitable for someone of Sharon Jasper's seniority status in the system.

She has held her tongue in silence through the years of abuse by the system, but it came to a head at the New Orlean's city council meeting where discussions were under way about the tearing down of the St. Bernard projects. When a near riotous exchange between groups opposing the tearing down of St. Bernard, and groups wanting the dilapidated buildings torn down and newer ones built, Sharon unleashed verbal hell with her once silenced tongue.

The object of her oratory prowess was an acquiescent poor white boy in attendance. The context of her scathing rebuke was, "Just because you pay for my house, my car, my big screen and my food, I will not be treated like a slave!" and "Back up and Shut up! Shut up, white boy! Shut up, white boy!"

Sharon directs the reporter's attention across the street to Duncan Plaza where homeless people are living in tents, and states that, "I might do better out there with one of these tents." She further lamented her sentiments about her situation, "I might be poor, but I don't have to live poor."

Yes, she has been made into satire by a few websites but the core story is all too true. I left out the satire part and left the parts that are proven to be true.
