But fears that the refugees will become an uncivil mob at the Astrodome are overblown. The concerns were, inevitably, tinged with race and class perceptions. The pictures we see from the Superdome are of people who are mostly poor and black.
After the MSM has spent so much time focusing on looting, violence, rape, and shooting, carefully constructing an image of all the people there in NOLA as criminals, is it any wonder folks would be concerned? Sheesh!
Until people stop, take a deep breeath, and realize that the majority of crime is perpetrated by a minority of the people, (and the MSM ditch the race/class crap), there will be a reaction ranging from an undercurrent of suspicion to complete antipathy toward these people.
The MSM continues to do a disservice to the people of New Orleans.

I saw an interview with one of the doctors that was in the Superdome from the first night. He said he saw NO violence in the dome. If their were rapes and fights he would have been treating the injuries. He said he was never worried for his safety or afraid of the people in the dome. He said he lost weight and was hungry, but he got 2 MRE's and 2 bottles of water a day.
Sounds like a completely different story than the rumors the MSM has been spreading, doesn't it?
