But... but... Kanye West SAID Bush doesn't care about blacks, so that must be true!

Thanks for the thread!

This story is just like what happens when you feed a stray cat. It never goes away.

Of the 883 bodies processed so far by medical examiners at St. Gabriel, 562 have been identified by race. Slightly less than half that number - 48 percent - are African-American.
Forty-one percent are white, 8 percent unknown and 2 percent Hispanic.

Carl, I doubt this important statistic will mute the debate. The race baiters don't care how many died, they claim the response was slow because NO is heavily black or at least has the perception of being a "black town". The perception led to the racism that kept help from being generated. Libs are never concerned with results, only perceptions and appearances. If they have to be accountable for results, well, they might have to get a real job.

This stat will never see the light of day in the media because it mitigates their argument (which mitigates their power) and will end up reducing the amount of money they can extort out of the Fed.

Great statistic to use for future arguments. Thanks.

Seems that blacks in New Orleans were a lot more self sufficient than folks tried to make them.

The remarkable numbers, which undermine claims that Katrina rescue efforts were somehow infused by racism, have been completely ignored by the national media,

That ought to be the real story.

The surprisingly low death rate for black Katrina victims comes despite the fact that New Orleans itself was more than two-thirds black [67 percent] when the storm hit. White residents made up less than a third [28 percent] of the city's population, according to U.S. Census bureau numbers.

THIS IS PROOF THAT MAYOR RAY NAGIN IS A RACIST!

My claim is just as logical and more justified than the people who have been granted an audience before Congress and the national media. Not to mention the position taken by the national MSM.

Where is my audience? Where is my opportunity to speak to the MSM about this? Give me a microphone so I can tell the world that Nagin is not only an elitist, but a racist.

RANT OVER
