The majority of people in New Orleans are black. Most of those who stayed behind are sick, elderly, poor, or have to stay because they are cops, firemen, etc. There is also a criminal element that saw a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation, the police have said many of the looters appear to be working in groups in a methodical manner, suggesting some planning on their part. The police are basically saying that people taking food won't be confronted, but most of the looters seem to be more interested in televisions and jewelry and other "luxury" items. One man was seen wading through the water wearing a new fur coat and carrying cases of watches and jewelry. Images of black looters may upset some people who would prefer a more diverse, all inclusive mob of looters, but it is a fact that most of the looting is being done by blacks. We can all dream of the day when people of all races can join together to wreak havoc on their city, to form a rainbow of destruction. But for now, let's not allow political correctness to interfere with with the fact that the looters in 'Orleans are mostly black. I know that saying this will bring out the usual accusations of racism and lectures on tolerance from the pc police. There will be endless explanations about how looting stores, hijacking a truck trying to deliver medical supplies and shooting at rescuers is not the work of criminal thugs, but of poor oppressed people making a social statement. Unfortunately, a lot of people in 'Orleans are finding out the hard way that there are some bad people in their town.
