How did this become a race issue, instead of a tragedy that affects all Americans?

The Democrats need at least 90% of blacks to vote for them and they are starting to look elsewhere for answers. Thus the mainstream media comes to their rescue by encouraging blacks to believe that Bush and the Republicans are racist.

I just came home after volunteering a whole week in Lousiana. A few physician colleagues and I travelled to Baton Rouge and volunteered at the PMAC (Pete Maravich Athletic Center) and at the Maddox Field House where patients were airlifted by helicopters from New Orleans to. The first 4 days alone, over 50,000 patients were treated at these makeshift hospital in the campus of Louisiana State University. We saw patients of every race, blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, arabs. The sheer number of voluteers were astounding! There were medical personel (EMT's/paramedics, doctors, nurses, PA's, respiratory therapists, lab techs, social workers, etc...) literally from every state in the country were there. As far as Washington State, Idaho, Iowa, Utah, Michigan, New York City, New Jersey...the spirit of helping our fellow Americans was very uplifting. We came together far and wide and took care of our own. For the first time in my career ever, the thought of litigation/medical malpractice never crossed my mind, nor did it cross anyone else's mind as we took care of our fellow Americans. This racial slant is a crock of bull. There were thousands and thousands of volunteers present. The donated materials from food to water, to clothing, blankets, linens, diapers, etc...piled up like little mountains.

Racism is an issue because there's money in it. It's made Jesse Jackson millions.
