Umm, the word n e i g h b o r h o o d is a really big clue here. See, ethnic, racial, and certain socio-economic groups tend to inhabit specific areas.The Lower Ninth Ward, which was 99% black, was overwhelmed by flooding when the nearby levees broke. Several predominantly black neighborhoods in other low-lying areas were also devasted. The French Quarter, the Business District and the Garden District were not flooded, and were relatively unharmed by the storm, whose path was way East near the Pearl River valley and going into Mississippi. The great damage done in New Orleans was from the flooding from the ruptured levees.
Are we clear now?
What utter conspiratorial crap.
Hispanics were brought in as troops? Was this all done under cover of night as part of some vast racist conspiracy to displace blacks? Were signs put on the trailers that were brought in that said 'No Blacks Allowed'? Were black marched out of New Orleans at gunpoint to other cities like Houston?
At what point do people, be they black, white or green, bear personal responsibility for how they handle unexpected events such as natural disasters. Or is that concept just another racist idea that shouldn't apply to particular ethnic groups when bad things happen that the government can't prevent?
