08/28/2007: "Black residents continue to blame whites for succeeding"

Levees and floodwalls are being repaired and fortified; washed-out neighborhoods are repopulating. But on the eve of the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is grappling with fallout from the storm that could prove even harder to repair: ever worsening relations between the city's white and black residents.

[ The poor areas in NO were mostly black. The storm hit, the city was unprepared, the state was unprepared, and then they failed to call in the federal forces. As a result, it was a giant mess, and those who were poor are still poor. What do they do? Ask for handouts and blame the giver, as that's the easiest course of action. This isn't about black/white; it's about poor versus those with enough money, brains and dedication to get their act together. Those with less, given a choice, will always leech off those with more. And, multiculturalism fails. ]
