JohnRich 4 #1 December 15, 2005 News: Liberals in the aftermath of the storm were quick to allege that the Bush administration delayed its response to the catastrophe because most of the victims were black. Damu Smith, founder of the National Black Environmental Justice Network, in September said that the federal government "ignored us, they forgot about us ... because we look like we look." Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in October said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency wasn't fit to help the storm's victims because "there are not enough blacks high up in FEMA" and added that, "certainly the Red Cross is the same." Rapper Kanye West used his time on NBC's telethon for the hurricane victims to charge that, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." But the state's demographic information suggests that whites in New Orleans died at a higher rate than minorities. According to the 2000 census, whites make up 28 percent of the city's population, but the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals indicates that whites constitute 36.6 percent of the storm's fatalities in the city. African-Americans make up 67.25 percent of the population and 59.1 percent of the deceased. Source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juanesky 0 #3 December 15, 2005 And what else is new John? People who were there and protested, most likely were the ones participating in the looting, and playing the race card. How do I know? I was there days after katrina hit, but of course it was later deemed to be a GWB fault issue, and the attempt of the Federal Government to destroy the levees in order to target the black population."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look forward to the day when the right wing does not play the race card to win arguments. (And yes, the left wing often does the same.)

RhondaLea 3 #6 December 15, 2005 Funny what you can do with statistics. From the same article: Overall for the state, 658 bodies have been identified. Forty-seven percent were African-American and 42 percent were Caucasian. The remaining bodies were either non-black minorities or undetermined. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

cloudseeker2001 0 #8 December 16, 2005 I do think it was because he did not care, it is because he is nothing more than a low level manager who somehow got a really big promotion and simply did not know what to do!!!!!!!! Dick is the one who is really making the decisions in Washington, GWB is just a really bad PR person!!!! The only reason GWB got involved in Katrina is because Dick was too busy making big business money off the Iraqi war! When you are the chief point person for Halliburton, you're a busy guy! Sorry, I just cannot help bashing the Pres! Yesterday at gym I watched some of his speech on tv......he is no Reagan that is for sure!

"most likely" .... nice..., you must understand and realize the state of destitution that poor place is in right now, as a matter of fact... research the word destitution. Connect with what these people are going through.. the mental anguish and trauma the victims of the hurricane are going through. They've thrown out all logical reasoning needed to function in "our world" so to speak, in order to deal with their current situation. Stealing from your neighbor is unacceptable by all means... at least for me, but for them and people in poverty around the world they steal for survival... as ***ANY ORGANISM*** does when confronted with danger or certain death... it's called instinct. You think the Bayou was dangerous b4!?... How do I know? I was there days after katrina hit, but of course it was later deemed to be a GWB fault issue, and the attempt of the Federal Government to destroy the levees in order to target the black population. nother media circus people are buying tickets too...

artistcalledian 0 #13 December 16, 2005 we saw on the news about 15 to 20 english people who were in fear of their lives INSIDE the astro dome (think its called that) they had to crowd together and try and not talk to anybody. They said that they were getting death threats made towards them for just being English and had to stand watch over each other people where flying back to this country and saying in interviews that there as no law and order in the dome, and it was even worse on the streets as the blacks ran around like savages but i guess its not their fault, and they had to do that to survive ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not making a comment on what to do after... all i commented on was how a lot of people acted in the couple of weeks immediately after. Personally, i couldn't give a toss what happens now, it doesn't effect me at all.________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
