Great topic.

I might suggest better formatting (I think that FR allows HTML tables.)

Note: Hispanic ethnicity is a separate data category from race. This number should not be added to race totals.

The drumbeat continues.

[pipecorp]

this certainly pulls the race card crap out of their hands as an excuse.(however it does open up the sexual orientation thing. swm's? maybe they've been oppressing the majority down there. )

[ncpatriot]

What percentage are Democrats vs Republicans?

[geopyg]

Transportation to Work by Public Transportation:

13.7% for New Orleans versus the USA average of 4.7%.

well - there's an interesting one. Especially when their evacuation plan calls to "find a ride with a friend". I would imagine that at many places close in to the city they don't need cars (especially lower-income areas).

[sit-rep]

Well, I seen 99.9% black NO criminals on TV....I seen 99.5% Blacks in NO refugee camps. I see 99.5% of vocal Blacks on NO bashing bush. I see .05% of the nations black condeming the behavior...

Sum of the equation? ...another 100 years of racism....

[Congressman Billybob]

Thank you for posting this. From the number of "residents under the age of 16" one can derive an idea of how many school children there are. And THAT data allows a conclusion that the NO school buses that sat there and got flooded were enough to evacuate all the people left in NO.

I reached that conclusion from two facts: about 100,000 children depended on the buses, and school buses carry everyone at one time, not multiple trips. Second, there are about 100,000 people left in New Orleans. Therefore, the buses would have been sufficient for everyone.

But that only could have happened if the Mayor had gotten his head out of his *ss and used the 24 hours after he belatedly ordered an evacuation, to order drivers to bring the buses to high ground, and all residents to meet the buses there.

The New Orleans press would have reported the gathering of the buses would have sent an inescapable message, which would have been, "Hump yourself and your family to the Dome, and GET ON THE BUS if you want to live."

The Mayor is at worst an incompetent buffoon, at best a criminal. Yet given the behavior of some of his Looter/Voters, he does properly represent his constituents.

What New Orleans really needs is a big dyke. So where's Rosie O'Donnell??

[Rightly Biased]

 

 

Check out these FEMA Damage Assessments:

http://www.gismaps.fema.gov/2005pages/dr1603.shtm

 

It's worse than we could imagine...

 

One of the assessment sheets shows 287, 000 people displaced because of the levee breaks.

 

 

Thats over 500,000 PEOPLE needing evacuation. not black people not yellow people not  white people but PEOPLE

Not Democrats or Republicans, not hindus baptist or catholics but PEOPLE.

 

I'm done

 

 

 

 

[NaughtiusMaximus]

How about the percentage of drug addicted street people? Now that would be interesting.

[hershey]

Shep on Fox a little while ago, said the mayor's friends had been protected, perhaps he meant the many armed police in the French Quarter, some with submachine guns. I had to leave for a few minutes so didn't see the rest of the segment. Maybe someone else caught it? The French Quarter came through pretty well, all things considered.

[Last Dakotan]

Thanks for posting this.

[oldbrowser]

The female to male ratio is higher in NO than both the Louisiana Average and the USA average. (Notice all the single moms in the photos).

Are the missing males presently incarcerated ?

How does this compare with other predominately black communities ?

[upchuck]

Thanks for posting this. I knew the percentage of blacks in NOLA was higher than the rest of the country. So, to me the images haven't been that surprising.

CNN, et al just don't get it, do they? (Rhetorical question :)

[Archidamus]

"Considering the images shown, this will surprise many."

Not really. Anyone with a half a brain, let along a graduate degree left while the going was good.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Quick, turn on Bill O'Reilly NOW.

His next segment is the "RACIAL STORM" brewing over New Orleans.

Let's see what he says in context to what we have posted here.
