There are a lot of parked cars under water in the ghettos of NO. These "victims" could have gone somewhere else but chose not to. They paid the price. White Americans should not take any of the blame for their lack of judgement in not driving to safety as so many thousands of their fellow citizens did.
I heard that many didn't leave because they were waiting for their welfare check to arrive. End of the month = no money to leave.
I don't think their welfare check arrived.
As has been pointed out by others since Katrina came ashore, many who stayed are dependent on welfare checks and no doubt worried they would not get their subsistence money.
How sad, to be tied to a pit because you believe you have no options.
I think it's time for Rush to have one of his "you can do it" shows.
