Despite racist comments from opportunists like Louis Farrakhan that, "There was a 25 foot hole. We've suggested that it [the levee] may have been blown up so that the water would destroy the black part of town", it appears that, based on population, a higher percentage of white New Orleaners were killed during Hurricane Katrina than black ones.
An article titled, Statistics Suggest Race Not a Factor in Katrina Deaths informs us that:
African-Americans make up 67.25 percent of the population and 59.1 percent of the deceased. Other minorities constitute approximately 5 percent of the population and represented 4.3 percent of the storm's fatalities.
Overall for the state, 658 bodies have been identified. Forty-seven percent were African-American and 42 percent were Caucasian. The remaining bodies were either non-black minorities or undetermined.
I'm guessing that we won't hear too much about this from the MSM. After all, Bush's poll numbers are rising, and they don't want to fan the flames of forgiveness for the President.......

Gee that Karl Rove is so clever he covered his tracks by killing innocent white people as well.
Well he is the 'dark overlord of the universe'. I've heard that he can even travel through time in a mchine built by Hallibuton!
Dang facts sure screw up a lot of good stories. Do we need to even things up? How about Fartakhan and Jackson and just call it even.
HALLIBURTON!!!!
Every time you say Halliburton, a leftist gets his thorazine.
The racist Farakhanites allow themselves to do the body count score of races...under the cover of being a victim...what are we thinking publishing things like this? (sarcasm)
