They pumped water out of million-dollar neighborhoods and pumped it into African-American neighborhoods

Must be true, it's all the talk at DU.

The facts are that many of the lowest-elevation neighborhoods in New Orleans are also the poorest neighborhoods in New Orleans. And many residents of the poorest neighborhoods in New Orleans, just as many of the well-heeled in New Orleans, are black.

Water flows downhill due to gravity. The low-lying neighborhoods are located right next to the levees so they would naturally fill with water first when a levee breaks. Eventually if the leak goes on long enough, the water level rises until the higher neighborhoods begin taking on water too.

It's called gravity. Obviously a concept that DU and the race warlords cannot grasp. No one ever pumped water into any neighborhood...duh. All pump outlets go into the canals.
