THE BOTTOM LINE:

Most of the worst effected by Katrina were black
Most of the doing th looting, raping and killing of blacks were other blacks
Most of the rescuers, volunteers and donation will come from whites

Bush declared a state of emergency for Louisiana on Aug. 27. That was two days before Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. The declaration started the process to assemble federal resources.

Facts?

You have a perfectly good urban legend and you have the audacity to use Facts???

How low!

[mlc9852]

How about "black people don't care about each other"?

[Echo Talon]

Why is it when someone defends the President this has to be said, "I'm no fan of President George W. Bush" ?

Who is this clown? Must not be too important, I've never heard of the kRapper.

[Living Free in NH]

When I initally read the title, I saw "Raper wrong about racism in rescues." I wonder how off I really was?

[RexBeach]

Good for Mr. Porter!

[BIGZ]

Fifty years of welfare and complete dependence of the government?

[wbill]

I'm no fan of President George W. Bush

Gotta get that disclaimer in, to maintain liberal credibility......

[hiredhand]

Forgive me if you've seen this already. I've posted it umpteen times in the past couple of days.

Ok, correction completed. :-)

And I am a fan of President Bush, I think that he's an honest man.

The governor of Louisiana has first jurisdiction. He should have been the one to use NO and Louisiana schoo buses to get people out of NO, and should have called up the LA. Natnl Guard the day before the hurricane hit.

[ArrogantBustard]

Hurrah for David Porter!!!

(Not sure if he counts as a conservative, though.)

[Echo Talon]

Oh, welcome to FR BTW. :D

[faithincowboys]

David Porter gets it...

I think it's a prerequisite in the media. That is, assuming one WANTS one's article/editorial to be published. ;)

[Obadiah]

Apparently Paul Taglibue doesn't think so.

[Echo Talon]

Well, seems like I see it all the time. "And I'm no fan of the President..." Blah blah blah Point taken, they must do that to keep their liberal street cred.
