Re: Why so many blacks left in NO?

As appears in an aritce written by Mark Babineck and posted through Rueters:


"Most of the victims were poor and black, largely because they have no cars and so were unable to flee the city before Katrina pounded the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday. The disaster has highlighted the racial and class divides in a city and a country where the gap between rich and poor is vast."


Yes, it was just an opinion aritcle but I found it interesting. The question has been posed several times on various threads as to why there appeared to only be blacks left down there.

100% rationalization for their stupidity. Just making excuses for people who did not heed warnings safetly.

They have bikes. They have feet. There were still cars in NO last i saw in the pictures. Obviusly they weren't being driven when the hurricaine struck.

If there's a big tsunami about to hit LA -- bet your ass i could be out of la city limits within hours.

These people were sitting smokin' crack when this hit. There are no excuses for them.

Re: Why so many blacks left in NO?

Its a simple matter of statistics.
New Orleans=%67 black.
Within that number lies the vast majority of poor people. Thats why all the people left in NO are black. Theres really no complicated reason beyond that.

If there was total anarchy and LA had dwelled in madness -- they would.

Nobody knew the earthquake was going to hit 2 days in advance.

Very true. It's also a different type of disaster. 30 seconds and it's time to clean up and move on. You can't compare the two!!
