CNN ran a little clip "speculating" as to why so many in NO that found themselves in the situation they were in are black.

They mentioned the racial makeup of the city, the lowest lying parts of the city were the poverty stricken regions, and the simple fact that some stubbornly did not heed the call to evacuate.

But, the one that caught my ear was when the narrator said that perhaps they would not be in the dire straights they find themselves in if they would have only voted differently and/or more often.

WOW.

FACT- LAKEVIEW, ST BERNARD PARISH, BUCKTOWN to name a few other areas are predominatly white areas. My friend, his mother, his fiance and countless other friends of his and mine lost their homes in Lakeview due to the 17 street canal breach. Why not report this? Because it is not news to them.
