#4 Dick Gregory was a one-trick-pony ("pays attention to my amusing black rage"), Cosby-clone comedian in the sixties. In the seventies he made millions by selling vitamin laced wheat-germ at over-inflated prices, to poor blacks. Gregory also told self deprecating fat jokes when he weighed 350 pounds. And he deliberately toned down his East Village oriented angry-black act, to satisfy Ed Sullivan Show producers.

Reality dictates: the lowest areas in East New Orleans were the highest populated by blacks.
Thousands were picked up off rooftops, but with as many as 100,000 houses in the east, lifesaving work took time. Could the National Guard have done more? Yeah, if the State Governor signed the papers.

#5 I don't know about the rest of you but my sympathy level for NOLA blacks is steadily decreasing toward zero.

#6 who's going to investigate those two barges with dynamite on them that hit that levee

Oh God. You don't imagine he actually believes that, do you?

I guess it doesn't matter. If they're saying it this publicly, it's probably the Pravda on "urban radio".

#10 11A5S

Of the 'refugees' taken in at Albuquerque the local news reporters could only find one family that intended to go back. All the rest have been 'resettled' in housing, provided basic necessities, and have jobs interviews or jobs already lined up. The emergency 'refugee' center at the convention center closed last week as it no longer had any occupants and the Red Cross notified city officials that no more where being sent. This is more like the Silesian Germans who were driven out of their lands and homes by Russians and Poles, only to resettle in West Germany in the post-war period. Absorbed into the population rather than segregated into UN ghettos.

This may be interesting come the next census.

#11 Mrs. D,

The limitation is because I have yet to see any LA whites whining about how the government failed to help them and how it's all GWB's fault. I spent a lot of time down there some years back and got a pretty good understanding of how NOLA in particular and Louisiana in general work.

The first major point I learned is that most people in NOLA, and certainly every white person I knew down there, understood perfectly well that they were living in a bowl underneath sea level and that if the levees failed they were in for a world of hurt. It was something mentioned on the news or in the print media on a weekly, sometimes daily basis, particularly during hurricane season. Anyone who was there for more than a few days couldn't avoid knowing this. My contacts either planned to get out before a hurricane or had made extensive preparations for dealing with flooding. Most planned the former.

It's also worth noting that none of them trusted either the current Mayor or his thug predecessors, the Morials, to do anything but steal as much as they could as fast as they could. This is not a racial slam; the Louisianians I knew also used to say some hilariously derogatory things about Edwin Edwards, the white LA governor who was indicted, IIRC, eighteen times before he was convicted of something. Edwards is the guy who stated "The only way I can lose an election in this state is if they catch me in bed with either a live boy or a dead girl."

My LA friends knew their politicians of both races were crooks and charlatans and often referred to Louisiana as "the northernmost banana republic." The difference is that the white folks, for the most part, realized that they were in a precarious situation just by virtue of living in NOLA and that if worse came to worst, they were on their own. They planned accordingly.

The black folks you see on TV are the same characters that have been living off crime and welfare for generations in places like the Desire housing project. They're the ones who are pissed that the people who always made certain their welfare check got there on time let some minor inconvenience like a CAT 5 hurricane disrupt the delivery system. Consequently a lot of them seemed to believe that the difficulties they suffered through their own refusal to take responsibility for themselves justified looting, rape, robbery and murder in Katrina's aftermath. Of course, the preceding sentence begs the question of why many of them were doing those things at every opportunity BEFORE Katrina but that's a different topic. Sympathy for them from me? Not bloody likely!

#12 I have sympathy for the people stuck in the hospital and the nursing homes that were too sick to leave. I have sympathy for those that left and now have nothing. For everyone else that stayed there I have none.

I've seen a few, including one or two at NRO.

#14 I saw him in the late 1970s and he was pretty funny, but also crazy as a loon. What I most remember is that he prattled on about how the government had weather-control machines that, IIRC, he said were being weaponized. I am surprised he hasn't been ranting about how Katrina was deliberately caused by the evil chimp Bushitler.

#17 FEMA totally screwed up and Bush is taking the deserved hits. However, elections are two sided and with antics like these hit the other side will come out hit harder.

If the left had stuck with the facts they could have gained traction. Lies and this propaganda make them a worse cure than the problem.

#18 Now here's a conspiracy-theory for ya:
http://www.flashnews.com/news/wfn1050908J5463.html

Weatherman Claims Japanese Mafia Behind Hurricane Katrina
POCATELLO, Idaho (Wireless Flash) – Here’s a theory that’s sure to cause a storm of controversy: A meteorologist in Pocatello, Idaho, claims Japanese gangsters known as the Yakuza caused Hurricane Katrina.

Scott Stevens says after looking at NASA satellite photos of the hurricane, he’s is convinced it was caused by electromagnetic generators from ground-based microwave transmitters.

The generators emit a soundwave between three and 30 megahertz and Stevens claims the Russians invented the storm-creating technology back in 1976 and sold it to others in the late 1980s.

Stevens says the clouds formed by the generators are different than normal clouds and are able to appear out of nowhere and says Katrina had many rotation points that are unusual for hurricanes.

At least ten nations and organizations possess the technology but Stevens suspects the Japanese Yakuza created Katrina in order to make a fortune in the futures market and to get even with the U.S. for the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima.

Stevens will discuss the storm creation theory tomorrow night (Sep. 9) on an internet radio show at www.thesciencedetective.com

LOL!

#19 FEMA totally screwed up...

Bullshit. They beat their past speed for moving supplies into the area. Maybe the appointees didn't make the weepy speeches people wanted, but the mechanism worked as well as can be hoped.

Don't believe me? Ask yourself why Mississippi and Alabama disappeared from the news coverage. *THEY* didn't block the Red Cross and Salvation Army (who work with FEMA) from providing people with food, water, and shelter. *THEY* didn't dither until it was too late to evacuate. *THEY* worked with FEMA, instead of trying to block it.

#20 I believe you hit a homer, RC. Mississippi had much worse damage than New Orleans, and so did Alabama but they did work within the system instead of trying to micro-manage every aspect of the relief.

#22 Giving the Mayor a total pass when he's the one specifically responsible for first response emergencies seems a bit racist to me.

Race baiters, the media may be agreeing with you, but as usual the rest of the country is watching.

#24 OK so is it clear to me that these folks need to KEEP wearing their aluminum foil lined hats. I think the Red Cross should force all celebs to wear them for safety.
As I understand it the levee was deliberately designed to fail in certain areas, control points, and at the time the areas had no houses so if they failed people could be evacuated in time but the corrupt leaders in NA overloked that little fact when they sold the land.
