Re: What Is The Difference Between The Floods In Iowa And Floods In New Orleans?

In all the news footage of the folks in Iowa filling sandbags and working to save their towns, all of the people were white. The only time blacks were in any footage was when the gubmint showed up with free food vouchers and then blacks were lined up around the block. Pathetic.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the blacks with sandbags weren't photographed? You wouldn't need a conspriracy for this as blacks are a MINORITY and therefore very well might not be present in some, even most, of the pictures, and not get into any of those used. Also did you examine all the pictures with sandbags carefully and make an unmistakable racial id of everyone in them?

Again with the govt aid, blacks DO tend to have a disproportionate share of the poor in any area, and the poor, not the rich or middle class, are naturally going to be the majority of the ones showing up for governmment aid.

It's not a case of a lack of negroes.

Katrina hit mississippi as hard as new orleans and we didn't have halve the problems new orleans did.

The difference is culture. Katrina could easily be blamed on President Bush--after all, speaking sarcastically of course, don't ya know--Bush is responsible for EVERYTHING--including hurricanes.
