One of the first rules of dirty politics is that if you know that you or your friends are to blame for something (like the black democrats in Congress know that the black democrats running Louisiana and New Orleans are to blame) you immediately blame your opposition. It muddies the waters and blunts the blame when it does come around to point in your direction. This is typical leftist democrat tactics.
Black leaders egging this on could cause urban unrest elsewhere.
It's still hot.
