From here:
It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive.
Frankly, I don't believe it. Human beings can go for weeks without food. But they can only go a few days without water. I highly doubt that such atrocities have occurred in New Orleans in such a short period of time. It is much more likely that they have been compelled to drink filthy water than break one of the most powerful taboos in our culture.
So, we have two options. Either the incredibly unlikely has happened, and the residents of New Orleans have devolved into unspeakable savages in just four days. Or, this author is just making shit up for attention (or at best, merely repeating an unconfirmed rumor).
The smart money is on the latter...

you can see in the comment section there, that people want more information and/or dispute it as you do. YOu can also see my comment there wondering if it's possible for an 80 year old or a child to go 30 days with no food.
Let's hope it turns out to be false.

I go with the latter, and the fact that the writer had to add the unnecessary word "black" tells me that an agenda was at work.
After reading this earlier, I scoured the news for any corroborating stories. Found none. I don't believe it. And I pray things don't get to that point.

Thing is, NO ONE has gone 30 days without food. NO ONE has gone more than 4 days without food, in the worst-case scenario.
Order is finally being restored to the city. MREs and bottled water are ready to be handed out by the National Guard.
Anyone devouring the flesh of another human being in such a short period of time needs to be shot...

The people saying that people can live for a month without food and that people wouldn't be eating corpses after only three days don't know what they're talking about.
You can't expect a corpse to last for a month in the hot Louisana weather, with no refrigeration. If they are going to eat the corpses, they have to eat them now before they get too rotten. To demand that people must wait a month before eating any corpses is totally wrong-headed. There's no point eating corpses at all if you're going to wait a month!

Fuck of you racist agenda having asshole satanic fuck. These human beings deserve to have some of their dignity preserved and not to have rumor mongors like you increasing the horrific press they have been receiving. Fuck you and anyone else that does this kind of sick twisted bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compassionate, he was pointing out that someone else is a rumormongering idiot. It's not RJ.

OMG, I assume that link was from some sort of white supremicist site. Then I follow it and it turns out to be a black lefties on HuffPo. Now I'm all confused...

Don't forget that many of these people are voodoo-praciticing savages not so far removed from places like Haiti. As a matter of fact, that's what the place looks like these days -- Haiti or Mogadishu.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're eating each other down there. Hell, they have no compulsion about raping, robbing, and murdering each other or the people coming to help them. Why should we NOT believe them capable of cannibalism.
Savages. Utter savages. And now they'll be unleashed on other towns throughout this country.
Just lovely.
9 - Dave Nalle
Give me a fucking break, you ignorant, racist nitwit. Voodoo isn't a religion of cannibalism or for savages. It makes a hell of a lot more sense than fundamentalist Christianity.

Oh Christ. The Santeria, Voodooites and Cannibals have been released into the American mainstream. There must be a prediction about this in the Good Book. Anyone check Revelations to see if the seven headed beast is a Democrat, Santerian, Voodoo, Roman Catholic, Wiccan, Lesbian, Liberal Priestess? Perhaps the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are Hurricane Katrina, Mayor Nagin, Governor Blanco and Hillary Clinton. Three out of four must be female because it was Eve that screwed it up for mankind when she gave Adam the forbidden fruit. (And all this time I thought Al Barger was the forbidden fruit.)

If people are now complaing about the taste of MREs, I highly doubt they were just forking right into bloated street corpses for lunch before that. The sickest part, besides being wrong, is that moron had to specify theat black people were the ones doing it. Pathetic. Give me a break.

I'm afraid nothing the rabid left says surprises me anymore.
And as long as the sane left does nothing to debunk it...
Condi in 2008. Get used to it.

But by our people you mean White people, right?

Neighbor Etouffee?
I doubt it.

Going four days without food is relatively easy by the way. Fun when it's not your choice? Absolutely not.
This stuff is nuts.
Thank you for having a link RJ.

I think the cannibalism claims are true. Emeril's is closed; however, I understand that if one uses his seasonings, the flesh develops a piquant, yummy flavor that rivals the best flank steak.

Bam!
18 - Temple Stark
For that "joke" Nat you get ... familiarity
Bad Nat. Bad Nat :-)
I think inside these last few days I'm laughing and crying and I'm in denial of both.

I'll take it from you, Temple. Couldn't resist a joke there. So fucking tired of being miserable, and then Rehnquist croaks, and misery returns.

With a little patience, they could all be pickled -- Cajunkraut, anyone?
22 - Primo
You claim to say that this stuff came from a left wing website. I bet you 1 to 100,000 that Karl Rove and the rest of the Bush crew are behind this. They've already staged tons of BS in the media to make New Orleans blacks look like animals to further their neo-con (neo-nazi?) agenda.
23 - DrPat
Nah -- I have it on good authority that Karl is a white-bread-and-mayo kinda guy. Not into pickled Cajun at all. (Jerked Cajun maybe...)
24 - Dave Nalle
I've heard that Karl does like manflesh, though.

Voodoo isn't a religion for savages?
ROFL
That's so fucking funny I'm gonna go sacrifice a chicken to the zombie god.
Anyway, pals, this just goes to show that you can take the (nunya is a racist) out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the (nunya is a racist).
Too bad all those people could have had food, water, and relief a lot earlier if roving gangs of crackheads and thugs hadn't kept opening fire on the rescuers.
