Discriminated against? What are you talking about? A hurricane came along like it does every year and flooded
a City that insists on existing below sea level. This country
then spent billions and billions of our tax monies rebuilding
it,and if if one was discriminated against it was the American tax payer. I guess since this was asked in religion and spirituality we have to blame it on God , OK Gods got big shoulders, you blew it again God.

The people discriminated against during Hurricane Katrina was a class issue,not a race issue.It just so happens that the majority of lower class people in New Orleans are of African-American descent.However,I will say that there were busses offered in the poorer areas to take these people to safety.Most chose to stay.

That's an easy one - AFRICAN AMERICANS.
Blacks were left without food, water and shelter for 5 days. Many were shot at by police when they tried to flee the city, and many drowned in their homes because they were left to die by the City of New Orleans, Orleans Parish, the State of Lousiana and the federal government.
Even now, the city, parish, state and feds have worked hard to "ethnically cleanse" New Orleans - Blacks have basically been deported from the city of their birth, and a community that was once 60% African American is now only 27% Black!
Katrina was an atrocity against Black Americans!!!

None, I don't think Hurricanes have evolved into a living thinking being that can pick and choose who they take out. I think it is more about wind currents and temperatures.

Kindly do your own research for your book report. All you'll get here is opinion.
Hey New Orleans, come and get your freeloaders. After a year and a half of them living off our good intentions, we're a bit tired of them.

Southerners.
Yup.
That's pretty much who she aimed for.
