Find better friends.
I really don't see any hope there.
More people died in the Chicago Heat Wave of 1995 than died in all of Louisiana as a result of Hurricane Katrina! (739 vs 579)
Where was Bill Clinton, Algore & FEMA Director James Witt?
Your friend won't be swayed by facts. Go on down the road.
There is no FEMA in each state. Louisiana has the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness.
Poke your "friend" with a stick.
Why get in a shouting match???? kind of silly. Your buddy hates bush, live with it. Either get a new friend or avoid politics with this one.
If he really cares about black people, ask him what he thinks of this website:

And some interesting statistics:

Does your friend know this person's name? That's a fairly wild assertion. Perhaps you should insist your friend provide an actual fact or two. Otherwise, it is a tinfoil cap fantasy, isn't it? The burden of proof is on your friend to provide some minimal evidence for the assertion before you respond to it.
Sorry for the trouble you have seen. When I get in to a shouting match with Moonbats, I always win. They hate me for a few weeks, then we are back to normal until the next shouting match...will the circle be unbroken..
Tell your friend he is an idiot.
Be sure to mention all the graft in the state of Louisiana done by DemoRATs.
Also, Federal FEMA sent lots of money to Louisiana to shore up the levees and for disaster funds but the money as spent on a bridge to make it easier to get to the casinos.
Does your looney friend think the rich white folk blew up the levee to keep the rich white folk houses dry? Yep, get better friends.
I can say that. I gave up a 20-year friendship because my friend dated a looney British guy who was anti-Bush. Whenever the Brit loon sent me an anti-Bush cartoon, I returned a Eurotwit cartoon (courtesy of Free Republic) back and said the Europeans were all nuts. I didn't want anything to do with someone who could date someone that looney.
Blanco's Blockade: Governor Refuses Red Cross Access to Superdome, Convention Center
"Access to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot enter New Orleans against their orders.
"The (Louisiana) State Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request-- that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city."
-- American Red Cross
"The Red Cross was ready. I just got off the phone with one of their officials. They had a vanguard... of trucks with water, food, hygiene equipment, all sorts of things ready to go, where? To the Superdome and the convention center.
"Why weren’t they there? The Louisiana Department of Homeland Security told them they could not go.
"FEMA works with the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and other organizations, but it has no direct control to order them to go one place or the other. The state’s own agency devoted to the state’s homeland security told them, 'You cannot go there.'
"Why? The Red Cross tells me that state agency in Louisiana said, 'Look, we do not want to create a magnet for more to come to the Superdome or the convention center. We want to get them out.'
So at the same time local officials were screaming, 'Where is the food? Where is the water?' The Red Cross was standing by ready. The Louisiana Department of Homeland Security said, 'You can’t go.'
"The governor... did use the Louisiana National Guard for some purposes, (but) did not deploy them in massive numbers initially. And they were not used to move any of these relief organizations in. And they could have been... The state decided they didn’t want the relief organizations where the people needed it most, because they wanted those people to get out."

That's a great story in that it fits with the preconceived notion that Republicans hate black people. Its not a TRUE story of course, but it sure must sound good if you are a moonbat.
It looks like from his bio that he was appointed to his position in the National Guard by whoever was governor of Louisiana in 1997. I'm not sure when this other office was established, or when he was appointed director. However, it is a certainty he was appointed to his positions by the Louisiana governor, not the President.
Man in charge is kin to Senator Landreneau from Louisiana..

Tell him in your conspiratorial voice the the "truth" is much scarier than that. Make sure you look figity and scared and then say something about Dick Cheney's Hurricane machine of doom (contracted out to Haliburton).
You can't bring up facts to moonbats, so humor them.
