Again, most at the superdome are POOR.

It is about the city not doing a damn thing for the poor, not the blacks.

It's staggering that they didn't have a plan in place to get everyone out of the city who wanted to get out. What would it take - 1,500 school busses from around the state picking up people and taking them to shelters further inland? The city planners diced with death and apparently didn't get snake eyes this time. But it was only a matter of miles and minutes that kept it from being far worse.

New Orleans has been run by thugs and thieves for the past hundred years. The current Mayor is a bit better than others in the past. The city has served none of its citizens well.

And it isn't a racial thing. New Orleans is just a city populated by poor people. Like alot of cities.

They got food and shelter when they needed it. What more do you want?
