“So Obama is admitting his policies have hurt Blacks?”

Yes, what exactly is his point? New Orleans had Ray Nagin, and now they have Mitch Landrieu who is a democrat, was the Lieutenant Governor, and whose sister is Mary Landrieu. Plus, whites are a minority in New Orleans (~30%) and thus don't control elections there etc. Don't just throw out inflammatory rhetoric. Identify the problem specifically, and come up with workable and fair solutions to the 30% poverty rate in New Orleans.

He’s absolutely right about the inequities between blacks and whites. Inequities in culture, work ethic, entitlement mentality, laziness, stupidity, immaturity, and tendency towards violence.

yeah....stir it up zero ....we aren’t in a full blown race war yet. And don’t tell them that if they got off their asses they might level out those “inequities”.

I’m so sick of this CRAP.

Katrina accomplished what it did .. because both the DemocRAT Mayor and the DemocRAT Governor .. DID NOT DO THEIR DUTY TO PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS.

The Mayor allowed thousands to drown because the communities they lived in had representation that were MAD at the Mayor because he wanted to use SCHOOL BUSSES, instead of leasing hundreds of busses with A/C and bathrooms. Can anybody make sense of this stupidity ..??

But, being a DemocRAT .. the Mayor bowed and scraped to the other DemocRATS .. and the school busses stayed in their parking area .. AND THEY WERE ALL RUINED BY THE STORM. This kind of action is lunacy.

And .. the Governor .. where to start ..?? She didn’t even have the sense to declare her state a disaster (or at least the coastal cities). But, she had to receive a call from the President .. telling her that she was required to declare the disaster warning .. OR HE COULD DO NOTHING.

So, our of either ignorance or incompetence .. thousands of people died .. AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE/WERE TO BLAME.

African-American households in the city earn more than 50% less than their white counterparts

Well, that"s what happens when you drop out of school in the fifth grade. Should be closer to 30% since that's probably all the losers actually "earn;" i.e., by working. Obama sucks and would be right down there with the average if it weren't for the extreme (and stupid) generosity of whitey.

So I guess he’s not going to visit the neighborhood of colorful beautiful new homes completely rebuilt by Brad Pitt?

Our president is a sad sorry bitter man, or a cynical race pimp community organizer

This guy has set race relations back 100 years.

He's the black Charles Manson, hoping for a Helter Skelter race war.

Hey Barack: How does it feel to be America’s last black President?

“it’s unequal”... So is your sense of command of the US, pal.

Wealth redistribution to the completely undeserving, except for their skin color and “being there”, especially if they are part of the local thug gangs... this is the re-equalizing of the wealth.

Same as the HUD control of neighborhood complexion.

Goal is to make NOLA into Detroit. Only— fortunately there is a cultural melting pot that will prevent that, if the criminal federals will stay bought.

Lots of video shown on TV depicting the damage done by Katrina ten years ago. Nothing whatsoever on the buses that would have provided transport to thousands of their citizens had the Chocolate City Mayor mobilized them instead of allowing them to be submerged in water. Nothing whatsoever showing pictures of areas that should be been restored by now had the money not gone into the pockets of local politicians.

Lots of hype about the French Quarter. IMO the local politicians do not want the people that left to return. Saves them a lot of money in welfare benefits that they can spend elsewhere. The poorly constructed levees failed and solved their “problem” for them.

When you’re counting heads— be sure to leave out the “blacks” and families NO LONGER THERE to earn any kind of living. Courtesy of Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin— the ultimate in grafter thieves and moron management. Nagin serving time. Wherefore art thou Blanco? Hmmmm?

Maybe Nagin can speak to the “inequities” for obamaumao— he was convicted in 2014 on twenty of twenty-one charges of wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering related to bribes from city contractors before and after Hurricane Katrina. You know, so that select contractors could get and keep the business— and that includes minority contractors who had to bribe the bastard. Get him to talk, obamaumao. Good God.

It’s all Bush’s fault they had... no plan. Right down to the local cops ripping everyone off and taking their self-defence firearms. Lest we also forget “cold cash” William J. Jefferson, former congressman and his visit to his home freezer with $90K in cash from.... dopers. He’s doing 13 years in federal pen, from 2009. Perhaps obamaumao will invite him to speak to the “inequities”. Hilarious.

Time to race bait Katrina again.

The only reason mostly Blacks were left is the wreck was because they did not have the sense to get out of the rain nor to prepare properly if they wanted to risk riding the storm out.

The reason Bush did not plan and execute their escape for them is because he was not the Mayor or Governor of the area who the people who were responsible for getting all the blacks out of the rain who were not prepared to ride the storm out. What a sick show for all and here the Muslim is picking at the old wounds caused by more race baiting lies out of the Democrats.

Why the heck does anyone commemorate a hurricane? That makes no sense at all. I guess the libs have to replace their Watergate commemorations now that the Clinton Impeachment gets in the way. So they pick a hurricane as their periodic celebration of how much they hate Republicans. Let me just remind them that it was the democrats who were anti-black for years and years.

Obama has become synonymous with a black beggar’s outstretched palm; blacks have fallen even farther behind on his watch because he apparently thinks they can’t compete with ANY non-blacks.

Helpless livestock...
