The refusal by thousands of mainly Black people to leave their homes was intitally described by the media as the main problem relating to the slow evacuations efforts--blaming the victims.
Some survivors were 'forced' to steal cars and buses to get their families out of the (afflicted) areas. Should this be considered a crime? NO!
When people are opressed, neglected, and left to die, they often engage in spontaneous acts of rebellion, striking out against those who control wealth and power.
The media in some of the cities recieving the 'evacuees' are describing them as 'the worst of New Orleans now notorious lawlessness: looters, carjackers and rapists.'
This sounds like racist labels placed on working class and poor immigrants & refugees from Latin America and the Caribbean. Many African Americans had experienced these labels when they were forced to migrate out of the south in the first half of the 20th Century.
Now the US military has the audacity to start recruiting at Gulf Coast Survivor evacuation centers in various parts of the country.
This is outrageous, as it was the US war in Iraq that was responsible for diverting funds away from repairing the levees in New Orleans.

Those who believe anarchy is OK under the circumstances of Katrina..should move to S. Africa where that kind of behavior will be tolerated.

Since NO is 70% or better black, what about all those black people who left without taking the poor blacks with them?
And, what about the writer of this screed? Why hasn't he taken in a few displaced, poor black families?
