I have no way to talk to African-Americans who have escaped NO and traveled elsewhere, but I'd be willing to bet good money that, whatever "public face" of solidarity with the legislators' condemnation of the term "refugee" they might feel compelled to express, in reality they have no problem being called "refugees" (sadly, most of them have probably been called a lot worse during their lives) as long as they get decent care for themselves and their families and a break from the long nightmare they've been through.

Unfortunately, we don't see enough interviews with the "refugees" that do understand what their situation is...and are making the best of it...

What is really maddening is that a hurricane is color-blind. It doesn't distinguish between skin color, income or anything...

and these groups that are making these statements are hurting the very people they claim to be "helping".
