Here's my stock answer that always shuts up the libs:
NOLA had 450,000 residents, three quarters of which, or 337,000 were black. If ten thousand were left behind, that means that more than 327,000 smart black people climbed into their cars, hopped trains and planes and got the hell out! So what's racist about that?
Of the approximately ten thousand problem cases, how many were white? How many --black or white --have been absorbed into other communities? Who exactly is still sitting there whining?
Meanwhile, on the largely white Mississippi coast, which took the full force of the hurricane and suffered hideous loss of lives and property, neighbors are helping neighbors clean up and rebuild. Few cries of racism emanate from MS because people are busy putting their lives together.
Up here in Daviess County Indiana we had a tornado hit on a Tuesday and 10 days later the 100 homes destroyed and been rebuilt by the Amish community it hit and lots of volunteers. NOT ONE DOLLAR of government money was spent doing it.
The FEMA man was told they weren't needed.
