Exactly, you can't force more minorities to volunteer. My mother saw the need and went down there for two weeks, instead of sitting around and complaining. How long did Rev. Evans volunteer?
Thousands of those "victims" were able workers. They should have been taking care of/sharing with others. Are you telling me these people didn't have a 3 day food supply with them, for "at the very least", their children. The free give a way just ahead makes people stupid.
Good for your mother! I came very close to volunteering. I wish I had gone down, but I'm self employed and if I don't do my job, it won't get done so I couldn't take off the time. Of course perhaps its better I didn't. I'd have been very pissed off if I heard sour grapes after driving a thousand miles, and losing thousands of dollars worth of profits to come down to help these people. And you wonder why these evacuees are starting to wear out their welcome all over the place!
Ever wonder why you never see black Americans working in aid agencies in African nations?
