Unfortunately, I doubt it.
My black neighbors see this in much the same manner as Kanye West. They're used to being *victims* of real and imagined *dramas*.
Even if they know better...my neighbors are automatically sympathetic to other black folks they perceive as being screwed. As for the white folks who are also in need in New Orleans, they could care less.
These same neighbors relied on my hubby during Hurricane Isabel. For almost a week, they came to eat at our house and my hubby had to help them with a variety of things. One man of Caucasian ancestry having to help black folks that supposedly were victimized.
My neighbors knew the hurricane was coming, but did nothing to prepare for it. It's hard to feel bad for black folks that are too damn lazy and stupid to help themselves. This includes my black college educated neighbors.
