I know this is old news but I still don't get it, I think it's a total cheap shot to call it racism

This all goes back generations. You see, when the French originally founded New Orleans, they knew that eventually it would be populated by a lot of low income blacks. Don't think so? Well, the French are white, and therefore racist. You don't see the French there any more do you? That's right they left to get away from all blacks, and here's how.
They sold that joint to Thomas Jefferson (white-slaveowner bad man) in the full knowledge he'd ship the slaves there so that they could throw a hurricane on them 200 years later.
Don't forget the part where the white overlord masters manipulated the politics of Louisiana to get everybody to vote for incompetents who wouldn't let the levees be rebuilt and you can see how it's all a big conspiracy. In fact we're having a conspiracy meeting later today to discuss this, and how all that new film footage from JFK in Dallas was made in the same studio that the moonshot was done in. We meet over behind the grassy knoll with the CIA and the Mafia.

Well because most of the people are black there and they didn't get help right away or 2 years after that. That's why kanye said george bush doesn't care about black people . But yes i think it's stupid about the whole race issue . I agree about it being a cheap shot and stuff. they should have left when they where told that the hurricane was dangerous ( and don't think i'm being racist because i am black) and i pretty sure there was some white people there .

I don't know about racism, but I think a lot of people were educated. Right now there's tons of work,but they'd rather cry 'racism' and demand more FEMA handouts almost two years later. Meanwhile the white folks in Mississippi never complained, they just rebuilt and put their lives back together.

Yes dear racism is alive and thriving at FEMA and not just durign Katrina.
But shhh don't tell anyone or they might put you in the Concentration Camps that FEMA has set up throughout the US. Certian Republicans have already stated on Fox News that people that oppose Bushy Pooh's policies should be put in "detention centers" till the war is over ... Ummm HELLO wake up Righties you are working hard to make a new Nazi state and it is right here at home.

Famous and No Bs... not everyone could evacuate.. i didn't .. but that was my own choice.. but that night.. and all through the storm i listened to the radio and heard all sorts of people calling.. pleading.. and telling their stories. Families of 5 who only had 1 car .. single mothers who had no car.. elders who didn't drive.. the sick who couldn't leave the hospital easily.. If we would have known about the buses.. we would have d-a-m-n well got to them. and if you were lucky enough to get out .. you still had to sit in traffic going 5mph for 50 miles... and on top of that.. u have to leave behind EVERYTHING .. and ONLY take family members.. important paper work .. some clothes..food... and if you still have room.. the few things that mean most to you.. such as pictures. so dont make it seem like it was 'so easy' for us to just get up and leave.
..
ps... Bush is a racist @sshole .. is why the whole racism went down

Nothing
It wasn't actually a hurricane, it was the superhonky weather control device. It is just easier to cry racism than actually admit that a group of people won't get of their butts to help themselves. These people never worked before, so don't feel they should have to now.
THE BEST PART THEY RE-ELECTED the same government that let them all swim because he promised more federal money.

The hurricane was a natural disaster.
The response to Katrina, slow, ineffective, incomplete, was a human endeavor that could have been fast, efficient and total. Based on experiences I've witnessed, I can say that had such a poor response would not have happened in an upscale, white community.
Not only did race matter, economics did. Poor people aren't attended to as quickly or effectively as middle class and rich people are.

well the reason from what i heard is that hurricane katrina has to do with racism is because president bush so long to help the people there and most of the people there were african american. these are not my words so dont think i am rascist or anything

I'd say it had more to do with the ignorance of the people who didn't evacuate than racism.
The average IQ seemed to equal that of kanye west.

Nothing at all, but that won't stop our race-baiters from trying to make some money off it.
