Been here for hundreds of years - born, fed, and housed for free in many cases yet unwilling to get out of the way of the biggest storm in memory. Yet it's someone else's fault?

Whoa there! They were 'fed and housed for free' as slaves for hundreds of those years. Are you accusing blacks of freeloading during those years?

And there was no effort to evacuate these people (black or white) prior to the storm. There were thousands who wanted to evacuate and had no means because of their poverty, and not their color.

And you're also talking about a small minority who refused to leave (black and white)............I agree with you that their dire situation is all their fault.

But your sweeping comments are highly inaccurate, and even more highly offensive.

There's enough racism on the left. We don't need it coming from conservatives.....

No

I have my doubts about the accuracy of your opinion on this- and - even if you are right - where is it written that the government is responsible for ferrying every indigent from harms way? I have read that the constitution guarantees the right of liberty - not protection from every danger nature throws at us.

And you're also talking about a small minority who refused to leave (black and white)............I agree with you that their dire situation is all their fault.

Nice that we agree about something.
