Black + bus = poor? Probably, since there is a black welfare ghetto in Galveston. However, some don't own cars since the island is walkable and many have lived their whole lives in the island never crossing over to the mainland. Better the bus than staying or walking out.
Of course I didn't see the man's balance sheet, but I concluded he was poor based on a number of factors: dress, speech, hair, etc. Perhaps I was wrong, but if you were to have seen the footage I'd guess you would have agreed with my conclusion.
A hurricane once upon a time hit NY. If another were to hit during a Republican-in-office term, the millions who would not be able to subway, fly, drive, track or bus it out of there would be all automatically deemed as "poor" the Prez doesn't care about even though...
(1)Many middle-class and wealthy folks in NY don't own cars;
(2)LBJizing poor folks with free cars isn't going to empower them;
(3) It's not up to the feds to pre-evacuate a city...that's what local and state guvs are for.
Don't hesitate to speak this truth into MSM ears, no matter how seemingly deaf they are to these concepts. If enough people utter them, they'll be forced to learn how to read our lips.
