This was in the top hit I got from google:

Elodia Blanco traveled as the neighborhood’s representative to Geneva Switzerland to testify at the United Nations (U.N.) Commission on Human Rights. This community will continue to fight for their right to a clean and safe environment.

So, it's "environmental racism" in New Orleans, and what is it when white people die as they did in Mississippi and Alabama and...

The issue isn't racist in nature, but economic. I notice that the sign in front of someone's HOME that they OWN in one of the links about Elodia Blanco shows a message telling someone to "move (them) out NOW..."

Most people under a threat that they perceived to threaten their lives and those of their families would move themselves by whatever means possible.

I'm just saying here, the issue if it's "racist" seems to be by those involved alleging victimization. It's still moreoreless waiting around for someone to take care of you, do for you, tell you where to go, how, do what's necessary for you, rather than doing all that yourself/oneself. (Not you, here, not anyone here, just using the "you" in the universal sense.)

To be blunt, it's still a case of some of a certain race demanding that 'white people' take care of them.

Elodia Blanco is pictured here.

For some reason I don't think she's closely related to the Governor.
