I'm rarely wrong, but when I am, I am donkey enough to admit it. A few months back, I was rather adamant that there was no racism involved in the response and coverage of the Katrina disaster. It is clear to me that there was. In fact the whole thing stinks of it. The words Katrina, Black, and New Orleans have become synonymous. Granted N'awlins was hit hard, perhaps even hit the hardest. The simple math of the matter is they are after all below sea level. However let me make this clear.
THEY WERE NOT THE ONLY VICTIMS
They certainly made for good TV, with their shootin', lootin', hollerin' -n- hootin', but should anarchy be rewarded with free Wi-Fi, should abandoning your civic duty as a lawman be compensated with a vacation?
Sports Announcer: You are a disgrace to your city, you cut and run in the face of the worst natural disaster in your city's history. What do you have to say for yourself?
NOPD: Im going to Disneyland!!!
I wonder if the racial demographic of The Big Sleazy has anything to do with it? How often do you hear anything about Mississippi? Not so much huh. Could it be, just possible that once again the MSM has a liberal democratic agenda to push and it benefits them for not to report on the trials and tribulations of the poor white trash hilljacks of Ole Miss. So as I said, maybe I was wrong, maybe race had everything to do with Katrina. Sometimes it aint alrighy to be whitey.
side note: Do you really think offering free wireless internet access to lure people back to NO is the best option? Call me crazy but how bout 50 feet titanium levees first. Nice job Nagin, ya jackass!!
