Connie London, (the black woman in the above video shot outside the Astrodome), is the counterexample. The significant percentage of the Katrina diaspora refusing to return to New Orleans is the counterexample.

That's true and I often hear that more Blacks and non-white Hispanics are turning to the GOP but every time the election results are posted those rumors prove to be false.

A few counter examples do not a movement make.

What you say is true, but I think Katrina constitutes a de facto movement, a movement-in-fact, one that terrifies the left. The failure of the 60-year liberal welfare state is embodied in Katrina.

The fact of the matter is blacks are not returning to New Orleans; the voter base has been forever altered. So, in a sense, the blacks did vote. With their feet.
