Racism Today? Black Mother Refused Shelter As Sons Swept Away During Hurricane.

The bodies of Connor (age 4) and Brandon (age 2) Moore were found yesterday near each other in a swampy marsh after they were pulled from their mother's arms and swept away during Hurricane Sandy.

Glenda Moore at the scene where they found the bodies of her sons.

Glenda Moore was driving to a family member's house during the hurricane when her car was submerged in water.  She freed her boys from the car and held on to a tree while holding on to her children at the same times.   She then made her way up to a nearby house.  She reports that the man refused to let her inside.  She went to the back of the house and tried to break inside with a flower pot but to no avail.  A wave of floodwaters then rose and took her children.

Glenda's sister says:

“They answered the door and said, ‘I don’t know you. I’m not going to help you.....My sister’s like 5-foot-3, 130 pounds. She looks like a little girl. She’s going to come to you and you’re going to slam the door in her face and say, ‘I don’t know you, I can’t help you’?’”

Her cousin, Nancy, reports that she went to more than one house. 

‘I can’t believe the way she was treated by the people she went to for help,’ Nancy said.

"The first person she knocked on, she begged them and said: “Please call 911”."

"They told her: “I don’t know you” and closed the door. She tried another door but they turned the lights off."

Glenda spent the night on a doorstep until daybreak when she went to the police.

In this video report, they talk to the man who was apparently in the house she went to for help.

This is a really sad story. I can understand not opening your door if someone knocks, but if this man actually did look this woman with two small children in the face and say "I don't know you (go away)" in the midst of a raging hurricane, he is really heartless.
