Subject: RE: BS: Genocide in New Orleans
People in the Superdome now have food and water. The idea that resources would be more readily available for "middle class white people" is simply absurd. If you think otherwise, you just don't understand what this catastrophe is like.

I'll ask a question I've asked elsewhere: what is the evidence (other than your own prejudices) that the conditions in N.O. would allow middle-class white people to be rescued sooner?

Even Bush has said that results of the rescue so far are "unacceptable." That's very different from saying that FEMA, the National Guard, the Red Cross, and everybody else involved is not working full time at fever pitch to do what all can. (Which is very different from saying that they're succeeding in every case.)
