Who is actually going to waste a half-hour of their time listening to propaganda and a politician that is going to say everything you want to hear?
unfortuantely the people he is aiming his spread the wealth propoganda socialist agenda don't have a government tv yet
Sharon Jasper has been victimized. Sharon Jasper has been rabidly
wronged. She has become a Section 8 care case "the victim of ever
changing
public housing policies.
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 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.
'Don't be fooled by them hardwood floors,' says Sharon. 'They told me they
were putting in scraped wood floors cause it was more expensive and
elegant,
but I am not a fool "that was just a way to make me take scratched up
wood
because I am black. The 60 inch HD TV? It may look nice but it is not a
plasma. It's not a plasma because I'm black. Now they want me to pay a
deposit and utilities on this dump.' 'Do you know why?'
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!'
Recapping from the mental log of the city council minutes in her
head,
Sharon repines, 'Our families have been displaced all over the United
States. They are being forced to commit crimes in cities they are
unfamiliar
with. It is a very uncomfortable situation for them. Bring them back, then
let's talk about redevelopment.'
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.
