New Orleans is (was) an almost completely black run city from bottom up.

The last major company left headquartered there was Entergy and I bet given the locale they had a strong quota system.

Blanco was elected by blacks and yellow dogs.

They have only themselves and fate to blame.

doesn't mean they don't deserve help and I wish it could have come sooner but the only issues of race are of the local government's own doing


and Mississippi?

does she not count?

there are about as many folks in the three Mississippi coastal counties displaced as there are in the wet spots of Orleans and St Bernard's parishes

if anything, it looks like folks are paying more attention to black NOLA than 80% cracker Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties.....and much of south Miss below 1-20

"Black members of Congress expressed anger "



When was the last time Black members of Congress
expressed anything else?
I for one am just a little tired of race baiting
under these circumstances, In fact I am pissed about it.

Watson and others also took issue with the word "refugee"


I have emailed Fox News 4 times with the definitions of
refugee and evacuee.

ref·u·gee One who flees in search of refuge, as in times of war, political oppression, or religious persecution.
_________________________________________________________

e·vac·u·ee A person evacuated from a dangerous area.

They must have listened to you.
This past weekend, they announced they would be calling them "evacuees" from now on.
Good job!

Too much emphasis has been placed on looting???? Maybe he feels that way because it's the BLACKS that are doing all the f$%king looting.
