Normally, I'd agree with you. However, you may want to read what she actually said here:
"Kicking people who are working 24/7 to bring assistance? I don't think so. When I needed to relocate my family, some of whom were sick and on welfare, when I needed to find them housing, white people opened their hearts and homes. A Red Cross volunteer found my father. I've seen Anne Rice's house. It's in 5 feet of water. People, white and black, are reaching out to one another. If the government didn't act quickly, the people acted quickly. It's no time to play the race card."
It was sarcasm.
It is what she said before the 2000 election, about GW Bush. That he'd rather have his picture taken with black people......
