WaPo: Poor, minorities hardest hit


When a 200 mile wide storm hits the region, you'd think it'd be pretty indiscriminate. But not according to the Washington Post, which notes that the poor black neighborhoods of New Orleans were hardest hit.

This is a place, and a time, when men like [Terry] White, men who have lived in New Orleans all their lives, get mad. There is something cruelly familiar about the deluge. Another storm, another black neighborhood flooded.

"I don't believe that levee broke like that," said Terry White, referring to the biggest of the busted-open levees that flooded the city. "I believe they broke that levee to save where the high-class people stay."

He doesn't say just who "they" is, but I doubt he's referring to New Orleans' Mayor, Ray Nagin, who is black. No, it was undoubtedly George Bush and his minions, who snuck down to Democrat controlled Louisiana, and Democrat controlled New Orleans to personally take a sledge hammer to their levee.

But I thought the hurricane was my fault. I'm disappointed. I spent a lot on those sledgehammers (took 300 of them - they kept breaking). The pickaxes would like to be acknowledged, too.
