I have had enough of the ridiculous news coverage of this event. This is what I see, how about you?
White victim: looking sad, searching through the debris, trying to find loved ones.
Black person: laughing, running around looting stores. runnning with electronics and clothes

Black person: screaming into the camera, something incoherent, looking like a complete idiot
New Orleans is about 68% African American . In my humble opinion, that's why help hasn't arrived more quickly. And why the skewed news coverage persists.
That's why congress might get back to work tomorrow to release additional funds to FEMAS to help.
That's why the National Guard is willing to drop water and food supplies from 20 feet in the air, instead of landing and treating people with respect.
That's why the death toll will rise in epic terms due to the delays in help arriving.
That's why no one has come up with a way to finally fix the breach in the levees.
That's why New Orleans will never recover to be the grand city it once was.
Because all these terribly poor black folks live there, and no one cares.
That's why...
