"Even those with more money, expect someone else to take care of things."

Not the ones who are my long time friends. These people are ones who say, "Get out of my way, I wanted this completed before the wife gets grey hair.

"How many blacks do you see helping with the relief effort."

I have two Black friends, both are executives in a large corporation who have taken their 30 day vacations to go down South and help out where they are needed. I don't know if they have yet, but from 20+ years of friendship, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't each end up giving six months wages to private individuals they determine worthy.

Are they the exception amongst their race? Yes, I believe they are. Exceptional men with exceptional wives and fine children who would shoot a looter faster than I would.

Don't use too broad of a brush.

I didn't say no blacks were helping, just a very small minority. I will say that the blacks I know that are doing something, that have made something of their lives and helped their people are great! Truly great men and women, Jesse Peterson, Clarence Thomas, Booker T. Washington!
