"you can rebuild homes but you also have to rebuild mind, spirit and soul" - so true & poignant.
Seems like it would be more the reverse of poignant, but it rhetorically sounds fitting.
Sharon Boo so TRUE....... You said so much with a little bit of words
Your to smart forme
The latter is the most important and time consuming rebuild.
💕💕💕💕💕
This man is telling the truth. I was in the Dome for six days. It was exactly as he described it.
Wow! So glad you made it!🙏❤️
You’re a true survivor
Good you made it bro
So sorry for what you went through. God bless you.
Just now watching The Five days at memorial & it made me research more about Katrina & Wow the things you all went thru & endured & survived, God Bless You
You failing to forget rap is poetry. It might be street poetry to some, but it's poetry. Dude is just expressing his pain!
Exactly rap at its core is an art form of expression
I agree arent all songs just poetry to music ♡
God bless
It's trash.

Just got goosebumps. Katrina was unbelievable. RIP to all the good people we lost.
Kristen Galloway all the people not just good people wtf
It truly changed us as a city right? I know we don't play around with storms anymore
Some people take everything to heart. I meant "All people" . Just be looking for a reason to get froggy. All love over here. 🖤
@Eddie LM thanks love 🖤
I love that movie goosebumps awesome!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😀😀😀😀😀
What blows me away is the fact they took forever to get these poor souls the help they desperately needed but they wasted no time stomping on their rights and confiscating their firearms.

powerstrokethis03 Exactely, it was the beginning of martial law.
They take out part after part to try out. Soon martial law will be nation wide.

Fema was there within 48 hours we were limited in what we could do we had people shooting at us we risked our lives people were looting why should we have to be shot for trying to help
I feel like you should always keep your firearm in your possession at all times during any disaster especially dealing with crooked cops, looters, and more
One of America's greatest shames. Watched from NJ. Couldn't believe I was watching fellow Americans suffer like that.
rootsm3 To say Hurricane Katrina was a moral failing on the part of the US government would be a severe understatement. These people didn't deserve that.
rootsm3 northeast texas.
..bu..bu..but what about the immigrants?? We should march for the immigrants. Foh!
rootsm3
We watched Americans suffer 5 years before that in NYC. it was terrible, but there was a lot of darkness then.
Caesar Vespasian disgusting ignorant disgrace
the reality is poor people with no roots have no where to escape because they can't just go to another state and country to live until things get better. they knew but had no where to go and no way to get there.
go camping for a week I don't care how poor you are u can get your hands on a tent
Copper Harris Camping in a tent during a HURRICANE makes perfect sense!
eilífi guð af himninum I saw your response in my email but can't find it here. Perhapsyou realized how delusional it was and deleted it. I want you to do exactly as you said get your necessities and walk 80 miles and tell me how that works for you. And remember you have an advantage because you are attempting this at a time when there is no stress. I'll be waiting here to hear about the results of your journey.
Go camping for an week somewhere where there isn't an hurricane....... Hurricanes only travel 40-100 miles inland.Also the government evacuated EVERYONE and ANYONE that wanted to leave, including MANDATORY evacuation orders . FEMA set up massive camps weeks prior, and successfully evacuated 95% of southern Louisiana. The criticism of the relief effort wasn't of FEMA, (an federal agency for disasters) but of the Federal government's response.
Copper Harris You truly are delusional and obviously have never been involved in an evacuation. The government dies NOT evacuate anyone the local government issues an evacuation warning to which you use your OWN transportation and money to evacuate. There is so much wrong with your response that it would truly take writing a thesis to respond. You also apparently have no idea how far out from a hurricane the bad weather spreads. And if in fact the government had set up camps weeks before (which also doesn't happen because there is also the chance the storm could not even hit) then why would all of those people have been bused to the Superdome and what happened to these camps afterward when they ended up busing people to Houston?
I'm from Canada I never knew it was this bad. Government gave up on their people. Very scary
Connor Wants Khabib in Saskatchewan UA-camr it’s just sad
I live in New york. And i can recall myself for 7 days on the news....they kept telling people to get out because it was gonna be deadly but people didn't listen.
There were evacuation buses but many people weren't allowed to bring their pets so they stayed behind. I would have gotten together with others and rented a car! New orleans is below sea level. Rescuers could barely drive through. Half of it was under water!
They kept telling people this was going to happen. New orleans sinks like 2 inches per year. Soon it will be under water. It's a swamp land.
They gave up on predominantly minorities....
It was so bad thousands of prisoners were left to die abandoned in their cells
@@taygreen5686 Now that's a perspective no one really speaks from. Even though they'd done what they they'd, they were judged for it. You can't treat people like that, it's immoral.
His storytelling is so poetic. A beautiful telling of a dark time and the journey to survive it.
What a lovely man. Peace Shelton. So deeply sorry for your loss. Bless you.
Every time I hear anything about Katrina it bring chills to my body
it gives me chills thinking about Hurricane Katrina and listening the stories from the survivors. 😢
Who's listening in 2019??
I am. Have always wondered why we haven't had more of these testimonials on Katrina. So disgraceful what these people went through. This was very well done.
Rob Shane I am. And I’m wondering why I mainly see black Americans during the hurricane Katrina ? I don’t see white or Mexicans
@@DemonSlayer9166 It's because of the location where Katrina was most devastating that's where the black community was living. And I believe that the government knew if those levees broke that it would flood that community... Just my opinion
@@beehappydaysweets7626 Besides 911 that was the saddest thing I think I've seen
Dam that’s sad ... do u think master P was a part of the hurricane Katrina ? And do u know if he perhaps donated at least ?
I almost went to the Super Dome but I took back roads through Slidell and Pearl River that Sunday night before, Worst rain and wind I've ever driven in. I made it to Lafayette about 2am Monday morning. Lost my house to the surge in Katrina and moved 90 miles away to Denham Springs Louisiana to get hit by a 9ft flash flood in August of 2016. Not much help for U.S. citizens after disasters.
That's horrible. I hope you are doing better today
@@user-qs9qt8mo3c yea
"You also have to rebuild the mind, the spirit and the soul." No truer words. That's what I can tell people who don't understand how we can still be affected by Katrina a decade later. How long does it take to rebuild a mind? What about a soul? What does that blueprint look like? I'm still working on it. Thank you so much for talking about your experience.
+Ann Marie I was there and I'm still In pain
pazzmatt i was in katrina and my house in baton rouge flooded last year.
The government grid to kill them, of course they are "affected".
pazzmatt It looks like we have a repeat of katrina with hurricane Harvey

@@carbonfibercarpet4655 we got a white elephant from Texas eh? He didn’t even promote his stuff.
He is a hero, but feels guilty about all the ones he couldn't save, but the ones who's jobs were to save them, but did nothing, get called heroes and feel no guilt for their lack of action. Sad days, so good that people were looking after each other, because the authorities weren't.
I was a Junior in high school... this was one of the most heartbreaking moments in my life..
I’m sorry you had to go through that :( god bless you
I have a cousin that was a senior. She was attending Kennedy at the time. She never got to graduate with her class.. C/O 2006 had it rough. I can only imagine
I was there to .. I miss my home and my niece 😷😭 she died when we was in the convention center 😭😭 I miss everything.. but I'm just glad that I'm back in New Orleans
Wow, so sorry your niece was one of the 10 people who died at the convention center. How did it happen? I mean, we all know only one man was murdered outside the convention center. I'm sure your niece wasn't one of the 4 that died of neglect. Then again, the weather people only gave 5 or 6 days advance notice of the storm. Most people in FL could hitchhike to MD if given more than 120 hours heads-up...and that's 20 lead hours needed to get out of FL...How exactly, did so many of you become so incredibly stupid, not to get out of the way?
KWM Video Where do you go if you have no money and no family anywhere but there?
Hevin Riggs oh so sorry
KWM Video this man's niece is dead and you call him incredibly stupid. Nice.
@hevin riggs is it true, that they "blew up" of the levees" and majority of the water went into the black community? I'm from California and I remember watching this when I was younger I'm 20 now
My memory of this horriable event was when they people was hungry, needed water and old. What ever bridge they where trying to cross to get away. The law enforcement would not let them cross and stood with guns pointed at them and told them to go back!! I could not believe this was happening in the USA. After that I trust no one in power!!
mega sunny truth!!!!!! And they deny this!!!!
It was the Danziger Bridge. Sad!!
@@GuacamoleyNacho The cops got jail time, but nowhere near what they should have for cold-blooded murder.
Very moving and horrific story. So sorry you had to go through this. Hate that you lost your mother. God Bless you and your family, sir.
Mexico came and helped us after this disaster as a repeblican id like to not forget out southern friends! Thank u 🇲🇽
I was a kid when Andrew hit us in south Fl..Have u ever seen an entered roof wiped at one time? Being in a bath tub with a mattress over your head...I been on prozac ever since.
Bianca Heath May God bless you and bring you peace
That sounds terrible. I will be praying for you.
Bianca Heath I know your pain
Wow , I was in the 2nd grade when the hurricane hit. My mom was working for the Salvation Army at that time. She went to work a day after the storm and went down to homestead with her job to help out. When she came home she explained what she saw but you’ll never it until you visually see it yourself. I’m praying Dorian pass is by , be bless Queen
Corrynthia I AM I'll never forget Andrew
I went through hurricane Katrina myself and it seems after all these years I'm very thankful that the lord brought us out but on the flip side of this it still hurts to see what all of us went through
I was in jail on tulane and board and the 1st day of the storm the COs just pass out a slice of cheese and a slice of ham and we didnt see them nomore until 2 weeks after the storm the army people finally came got us!!!
This is devastating. God bless everyone who experienced this, as well as everyone in the Bahamas who’s going through it because of Dorian. ❤️🙏🏼
Amazing depiction of what went on through his experience
The US didn't have a proper plan for the people of Louisanna when the levees broke.🙏🏾 I remember hearing 10 years plus later they are still recovering and many people are still displaced...
I was nine years old when Katrina first struck Miami, FL. By the time we got our power back and turned on the news we saw the destruction the storm left. Even at a young age, it was so hard to fathom the sheer devastation and suffering of New Orleans.
*I SWIM THROUGH KATRINA IMA KATRINA SURVIVOR I SEEN DEAD BODIES AND ALL FAMILIES DROWN IN WATER SMH ITS TRAUMATIZING AND SAD*
Man glad you made it out round be blessed
My God!
Cartoon Cereal that’s nothing I was in Iraq I saw death bodies and my comrade body in half a hand here a a hand there not good
Dead bodies and deep water, that's what I remembered most. I was in the third grade. We were left to die. The bloodshed from the delayed relief effort is Mr. Bush's hands.

Facts
@@GuacamoleyNacho some people are in jail for a reason
funny how fema responded with thousands of unneeded temp housing trailers, but not a single motherfucking portable toilet at superdome, our govt at its' finest moment
busybody: They are not incompetent, they run the world, they did it on purpose :/
just because that happened to your neice's neighbors doesn't mean the trailers mostly went to blacks.
and in all honesty, it was mostly majority black neighborhoods that were hit the hardest.
Led by Republicans.
I was in one of the worst fires in California, FEMA did not show themselves until President declared it state emergency. So for us it was awhile too before we received any help. Not sure what FEMA's rules are with all of that but they most certainly need to do a better job protecting the people.
My sister worked for fema during Katrina and I just remember her come home one day in tears and explaining the calls she had be she felt bad she couldn't help. My mom rip worked for agriculture in DC and she went to new Orleans and said she remembers swing coffins just floating down the street
I looted for Baby milk, Pampers. can goods and pads for my wife. I Remembered leaving out of the dark and wet store when I realized I had a hand full of dog jerky treats instead of beef jerky. True story I swear on my life. I had to geaux back in.
@@Brekstahkid Only thing you know about smoking is crack

@@Brekstahkid The man said he looted for his baby and his wife, not tv's or materialistic things! And the first thing that comes to your mind is that you would have killed the man?!! For trying to look out for his family?!! Shame on you!!
@@Brekstahkid It seems like you just passed over the most important point I was trying to make, he said he did it to look after his family! Can you not relate to that? There's not a man in the world who wouldn't do anything to try and protect his family!

God bless you. I hope you heal from this
I visited New Orleans November 2016. There are several areas that are still being rebuilt.
My wife and I just visited in February of 2021. The lower 9th Ward still has streets that look like bombs went off. Several vacant lots where people didn't even try to rebuild. Can't say as I blame them because the government made it hard for them to get any of the relief money, but when they did, shady contractors took advantage of them. They took their money with the promise of rebuilding and used tainted materials that had to be torn out and either redone or just left undone.
Same in 2014 downtown was the only thing still in tact
I was told the same when I visited in 2017. Still couldn’t believe that after 12 years
Visited around the same time it was devastating to see
Many areas of New Orleans aren’t rebuilt .. many homes still have the markings on them from when the national guard would go in to see if ppl was there .. I was there but thank god we left within hours before we couldn’t
People paid into insurance for half a century and hardly got a penny #EnochJohnson.
Im from new orleans. I was 5 when it happened. My family and i evacuated to stay with family in Mississippi during the storm. I was so little but can still vividly remember the tragedy of it all.
Man I remember being 12 years old hearing about Katrina, and living in Michigan, it was hard for me to imagine. This was before social media and all that, but seeing this it’s so sad. My heart breaks for all the families
That's you in your profile picture
@@quanbrooklynkid7776don't be a creep
I cried watching this bc my family left New Orleans after or before my 5th birthday august 22. Hearing what happened to my home, my neighbors, my people, my school friends hurts years after learning about it. I didn’t know what was happening at the time I was only 5 and I mostly remember hanging out at the small park with my great grandmother, my siblings and other kids in the 9th ward.( my mother was surprised i remembered about it, even my great grandmother too.) Now I’m soon to be 23 this year and around my birthday i have to be reminded of that day Katrina destroyed everything, Hearing what happened still hurts because even though I didn’t experience Katrina my family did we lost everything but our lives so I’m grateful. I pray that the people that didn’t make it rest in peace.
I heard the biggest supplier of humanitarian aid to Louisiana at this time was the Republic of Singapore Armed Forces.
what's crazy third world countries offered help including Cuba but our government refused their help

The Superdome was a defacto concentration camp. When disaster strikes, don't go into one.
CornerTalker Now you tell me... 🧐😂😣
That was clearly the only option many people had!
Now they arent even ashamed of having several for migrants
When Katrina happened i was stabbed in the heart to see so many suffering and no help in sight. I realized right then that the government don't care about us. They more concerned with foreign countries than our own. I started to teach myself survival skills to be able to overcome any obstacle thrown at me. So Katrina definitely had an impact on my life even though I was watching thru a t.v screen.
I was there also. Lost everything. sad part I wasn't even close to water.
StacyinMS Stacy the levees weren't being manned in metairie and our house flooded.
This man is amazing. Thank you for documenting what you went through. So sorry for what you went through
I was glued to the television for days on end. I was absolutely blown away by the suffering and desperation . One of the most fked up things I’d seen ❤️ shout out to Shelton ..
This is such a touching video , thank you very much for sharing this. It’s disgusting that these people were neglected for so long and to the point where things got so unbearable. I visited New Orleans recently and I was touched at the friendliness of the people there.. they have lived through ALOT
This is a sad story😢
Man, this grave me goosebumps about 20 times! So intense!
Amazing footage and story . The rap gave me goosebumps. Bless all the souls .
Life is totally different after the loss of a loved one. 💟
Shelton thank you for sharing your story. You are forever real. When all this was going on my soul was filled with pain and still is. Your courage brings peace. 🙏 ❤ ✌ Always
Thank you for being a hero to those you got out of that hellhole!
In my mind I picture a world of no disasters. No innocent people killed. No mass shootings. But, the sad reality is all of these things are real and we need to be aware of them. Katrina was very sad and even though I was not there I still cried when my teacher told us that she was there. She has been through 28 hurricanes so far. Bad, but good that she survived because she is a great teacher. God bless America.
My mom made me watch this. Only because we are going through hurricane Harvey. Be thankful For your family Cause I'm am.
Ariana On fleek Are y'all ok sweetie?Praying for everyone🙏🙏
Watch When The Levees Broke by Spike Lee. The stories go much deeper, and sadder than this.
I can't watch that. Its the most accurate depiction of what we went through. It's like being in it again
Yes very good, Spike Lee went deep in that documentary.
It broke my heart . That was 15 years ago and I’m still heartbroken
ahow much deeper can you go,they let all these poor people die,ill never forget,watching on tv in horror....
omg I was In there too!! I was only 5 an this is the exact picture of how it was😢😢😢
Almighty King
I can't imagine being an adult in that situation. Being a child must have been near unbearable
God bless yall I'm so sorry y'all had to go through
God bless yall im glad y'all survived hon
Thank you Shelton for telling us your story. Rip to your mother and thank you for helping others.
He was really good.
Thank you for your service Sir! This is very sad! It breaks my heart cuz! I'm so glad you survived cuz! We lost so many people during Hurricane Katrina! My condolences and prayers for y'all! May they all Rest in peace!
I live in New Orleans man I'm glad I made it out before the storm hit ironically I moved with my cousins who just got hit the hardest by hurricane Harvey
dont depend on the govt people! we are alone when this stuff happens. heed warnings.
Blacks have never had Govt to depend on. Whites meanwhile have never known what’s its like not to have Govt subsidies their whole lifestyle

self reliance is key... leave the matrix...
@@jamaalshelton6793 all by design my friend
It's the government's job to provide relief and assistance to disaster victims. Instead they funnel billions into for-profit contractors (and major political donors) who take the money and run.
This man needs to keep writing poetry and start his own youtube channel. I would subscribe.
God bless Louisiana.
I don't even know why I watch this stuff, because I know it will move me to tears,,🙁
I’ve visited Louisiana last year doing door-to-door sales and got a chance to talk to people about this. it was one of the greatest experiences of my life talking with Louisiana residents. The culture some great people 🙏🏻
My dad was lucky to escape..he was only about 15-19 years old living with his brothers. glad he made it out safely
I have relatives in NO. I was there just a week ago and you can still see the areas affected especially in the 9th Ward. My idea is if you knew this thing was coming from at least a week away I'd walk if I had to considering my good health. The mayor and the governor of that time both have blood on their hands for not evacuating the city any earlier. School buses were still sitting there not being used to help save anyone.
The president watched us from the sky while we waited and waited and waited for no one. His hands bare the bloodshed from the delayed relief effort that made Katrina more than just a natural disaster. This was an EMERGENCY SITUATION. I was in third grade, nothing will ever be as bad as Katrina for me
@@shelbieclaire.3434 Ma'am I'm truly sorry for what you went through and I'm glad you're here today to continue your life. I'm not defending or praising the president of that era but the blame falls on the local authorities first!

You made it through. This must have been the scariest thing to go through. Sometimes we take our security for granted.
Katrina... No words I visited New Orleans three years orior the people were sooooo nice to me. I felt loved more than my own family so seeing the citizens stuck, floating, displaced, and all out freaking out broke my heart once a year i watch a documentary about it
this is so scary and sad im about to cry...
How the FK can so many people go for SO LONG without food and water and medical care in the United States ?? WTF !?!
no-one wanted to help us we had to help ourselves
southern daze say it louder for the people in the back because people really don’t know what’s coming real soon. It’s about to get real real satanic out here
Layah Jhene what is going to happen??..serious question
southern daze what is SHTF??
Layah Jhene 11 months later and several months into Covid...
I was there too and for those of us who survived katrina, we'll never be the same. My oldest son was 16 months old. I thought we were going to die
I’m sorry you went through that... how awful!
I'm so sorry luv so sorry ..I cried just watching it. Smfh
My heart is with you and all who suffered
Some of the New Orleans police went rogue and were randomly shooting civilians allegedly
RFI-Crypto Lab
They were scared to death..it was chaos
Yes they did I survived Katrina and after the storm wiped out alot of things people started killing each other there were police looting and there was one instance where people where trying to escape the rising water and huddled up on a bridge some of the police wanted what they had and shot them and there was a situation where a man stabbed his sister to death over a bag of ice
Errica Thomas they had guns and shot at unarmed citizens because they wanted to get whatever they could from them whether it be food or the place they were standing the police that did that knew food water etc was going to be hard to get so they would take it by force they were also breaking into buildings stealing items from the shelves and knowing that there was no guarantee that any help would be coming and if so that there was no exact timing for that help so they decided to take from innocent people even if killing them to do it. schools became temporary morgues because there were so many dead people that they had no room at the morgue for them. People going on rescue missions were mostly any citizen with a boat. The neighbor down the street that you barely knew would come out in their boat to save you from your house.
This is why we need the 2nd amendment. You have to be able to protect yourself.
@@mrs.tiffany I remember the story about the guy killing his sister over a bag of ice smh.

I still cant believe that our country treated it's own in such a way...
I remember watching the news, and the National Guard not let in Trucks filled with water and food. I was crying and screaming at the screen. This was handled so wrong. I hope the National Guard men will rethink their oath to the Constitution, and the American People. This was criminal. I am so sorry for all those that lost so much, and suffered. Prayers for healing.

:( I'm so sad to hear that. You are a survivor.
crazyleg2006 I still cry at what happened in New Orleans
I was living two hours away from New Orleans, half a year old.
That's truly amazing, considering the very last person was evacuated 5 days later. Why did you decide to be the only person to hide out an extra 3 days? Seriously, how did you get out? LIAR, FAKE, LOSER!
KWM Video your stupid Huh people evacuated to the dome before the storm and the rescue mission wasn't smooth everyone didn't get out the same days or by five I just watched a video it was going 11 days after it hit they were still there
Thank you for sharing your story.
I’m am and was so heartbroken when this happened to New Orleans! They shouldn’t have been stranded and treated like that ! New Orleans is the most beautiful city in the states with true culture! It hurts me to the max remembering this
God bless you sweet sweet man. I care. I care so much and I prayed for days during the storm for all of you.
