Comments on: Texans Helping Themselves and Others after Ike http://urbangrounds.com/2008/09/day-after-ike/ Sometimes the truth hurts Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:47:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ihearttexas http://urbangrounds.com/2008/09/day-after-ike/#comment-141916 ihearttexas Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:55:59 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/?p=3024#comment-141916 The above comments are an embarrassment. This was a great and true story. I am very political, but the GOD & POLITICAL comments are totally off-topic & just exacerbate the obviousness of your ignorance. Today is merely a day to revel in The Spirit of Texas!! Our political shenanigans, "finest form of free entertainment", aside this is THE Great State. I am proud of our leaders, who out partisanship aside & have done an excellent job (uh..Lyda notwithstanding) and I am proud of our citizens! Texans Helping Texans!!!! I see it everywhere - <em>especially</em> in the most ravaged areas! The above comments are an embarrassment.

I said OVERALL. The hurricane was a one time event. Almost all, if not all, bilingual 911 operators are native speakers and do not need education, training, or experience in speaking spanish, dumbass. You just made my point that you are a dumbass.

Overall, what percentage of 911 calls are in spanish?

In this case it was 33.3% (that’s what ‘a third’ means) ;-)

What is the percentage of spanish speaking operators?

This is my point. Well done.

Instead you fashion some bizarre scenario that they are suppose to round up a bunch of spanish speakers and train them to operate the 911 system in a moments notice in the middle of a major natural disaster just to fit your arrogant and ignorant rube-view that everyone is a racist.

It highlights the fact that America/Texas is innately racist. Or simply ignorant of whom it's residents are?

It highlights the fact that America/Texas is innately racist.

Taking things off topic? You're a child - a redneck one at that.
