Many of these Americans who now are struggling to survive are Americans of color," Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Maryland Democrat, said.

I thought white was a color.

Is not white a color?

My momma taught me white was a color. My teachers taught me white was a color.

Does anybody else out there think white is a color?

Anyone?

Ferris?

Elijah Cummings would not dare step foot in any area of devastation that has white people present. Many whites suffered as much or more than the people of New Orleans. There were 135,000 whites in New Orleans, 15,000 Hispanics and 11,000 Asians. Elijah "Color Me Black" Cummings is color blind.

What a disgraceful pice of S. I am not white, you P.O.S, and my wife is not white, but we are not color blind--whites suffered too!

We're Americans hurting for fellow Americans. The Dems can only try to poison the good.

Keith Johnson, a 28-year-old sheriff's deputy from New Orleans, lay in the grass and cried.

He'd just gotten off a plane from the beleaguered Big Easy after being trapped on a highway overpass for two days without food or water. Before that, he toiled with other deputies, rescuing people trapped all over the city.

The exhausted man tried to tell his story, but his words jumbled: "We walked from the overpass to the dome in 5 feet of water. Through oil and feces and filth."
