How Hurricane Ian's damage could exacerbate inequality
NBC News ^ | October 1, 2022 | Anna Rhodes

Posted on 10/02/2022 6:06:02 PM PDT by artichokegrower

Hurricane Ian has already caused at least 34 deaths, and early numbers suggest that financial losses could hit $40 billion. But these numbers tell only part of the story. What they don’t reveal is how Ian will lead to growing inequality, and heighten racial disparities

Again, crickets regarding yellow people.

Those other inconvenient colored people, not affected by hurricane.

I suspect a spending bill passed by Congress so fast for helping Florida but voted no by Republicans. How many things are in there that are poison pills? Perhaps the money depends on rebuilding only with green new deal type restrictions, etc. Perhaps it provides for citizenship for all illegals, etc. Dems never do anything without getting in their agenda.

LOL. This is like the old joke. Wall St Journal and Washington Post learned that the world was ending tomorrow.

WSJ headline: World to end tomorrow. Markets to close early

WP headline: World to end tomorrow. Women and minorities hardest hit.

Just like Covid in a sneaky and crafty way looked for persons of color to infect more often than others (”Minorities suffered more from the Covid surge than others.”)

Hurricanes watch for persons of color and swoop in to devastate their homes while sparing the nearby non minority owners’ mansions overlooking golf courses.

Covid and hurricanes are both racist.

Hurricanes don’t do that.

The effin’ media does.

That may be true. And the freaking Republicans need to get on the microphone immediately and start saying that. Right now it just looks like they said screw their state.

Not a lot of black people living on the beach... or Sanibel Island.

Most high-end ‘on the water’ houses were white people, most trailer parks were retired white people where the storm landed.

Black citizens are disproportionately renters - and won’t share in the big costs involved in not having flood insurance... or having inadequate home owners insurance.

This is the same bs we heard after Hurricane Katrina. It’s never-ending and will never stop. Despite what some people want to believe, the majority of them will always vote for people like Kamala Harrison, and what benefits them as a whole despite the crime or perils they face. (and it has spilled over into the suburbs) Victimhood benefits them, and it’s not going to change.

OK,

Wade defended her character against criticism of being a negative stereotype of African American women. In a 1973 interview, she stated “I know there were those who were offended by it, but I still have people stop me on the street to tell me how much they enjoyed it. And many of those people are black members of the NAACP.”

- from Wikipedia article on Ernestine Wade
