I’m glad you know so much more about a situation that I lived through than I do. Are you a god, or do you just play one on TV?

I’m just having a hard time imagining why FEMA would single you out and tell you you can’t get assistance SOLELY because you’re white, and yet they assisted thousands — maybe tens of thousands — of other white people.
I didn’t live through it, but I have dozens of relatives in the NOLA and Baton Rouge areas. My parents live in Thibodaux, although they suffered only very minor damage. My VERY white aunt in Covington, La., whose house was split in half by a pine tree, was living in a FEMA trailer and got other assistance. Another aunt in Metarie got some small assistance.
I even have a cousin in Biloxi who lost the whole first floor of his house and most of his belongings. He didn’t seek assistance because he’s a multi-millionaire. But he vows never to live on the coast again. I saw Biloxi shortly after Camille and that was enough to convince me the coast is a bad place to live.
