Demoncrats that enslave black and other idiots push moral bankruptcy. Demoncrats are the party for the intolerant, immoral, lost souls.

I am sure there was quite a bit of that element there. But I am also just as sure there were black families that did leave. That left and made a better life for themselves.

Damn well written, and very true, unfortunately. Mayer Naggin wants a chocolate New Orleans. Be careful what you wish for. Just look at Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, and every other American city where Jesse Jackson is now claiming “white flight.” These cities are bankrupt, and to off set for the lack of a tax base, the States are raising every bodies property taxes. Sooner than later, the civil war will start, because most Americans refuse to be tossed off their property for not supporting these failed cities.

The disintegration of the black family and taking fathers out of most homes has cost the black community very dearly. White Americans, going down the same road, ought to take notice.

Having been in New Orleans two days prior to Katrina’s landfall and knowing the the City of New Orleans quite well I can say that the writer is only partially correct.
Yes, New Orleans did have a large population that would be considered part of the entitlement class. Many are black and many are white.
However, Nagin announced more than a month before Katrina that the city could not provide evacuation transportation for the people in the event of a major hurricane.
The bottom line is that the vast majority of people who did not evacuate New Orleans did so by choice and it was not due to the lack of school buses. And while there may have been 500 school buses that were not used there were also 250,000 personal vehicles left in the city after Katrina.
If the people had wanted to evacuate they could have driven their own car to safety.

I’d bet that Starr Parker could write something similar.

I would think that big insurance companies would be re-writing their policies so they could deny an auto claim if a vehicle is damaged due to an avoidable storm.
I’m sure many thought, “Oh well. It’s insured.”

Jesse Lee Peterson MEGA bump!
Stomping all over politically correct and daring anyone to call him out.
If 25% of the wimpy politicos in Washington DC had the cojones of Rev. Peterson, we’d see some serious change. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. My guess is it’s more like 2-3%.

An EXCELLENT assessment of
Katrina Syndrome (my description)
from a brave black American journalist.
Get this article out to the base.

The scary thing is not what the man says in the article, it is that the truth is so rarely printed about blacks that when someone does tell the truth it is seen as amazing.
The real depravity among blacks and liberals is that they believe that if the truth is hidden it will no longer be true.

It is New Orleans and most of those cars were not insured. At last count they towed 250,000 abandoned cars off the streets of New Orleans.
That number does not include the cars that were insured and got flooded.
