It is ironic that racism is supposed to be a part of the "delay" in evacuating New Orleans. Isn't it odd that the rescue workers are primarily caucasian. I am not saying this as a racist statement. There are obviously some people such as Sharpton, J Jackson, et al who get their support and their blood money from keeping the racist problem alive. No doubt there is ugly racism in this country but to see the helping hands cross the racial divide was inspiring in this situation.
you are not the only one who saw it -- there are many Blacks who have witnessed and experienced the love and generosity of the whites who supposedly hate them, according to some who want to keep the fires of racism burning.
