Yes, the poor black AND WHITE people stranded on the highways and Super Dome and convention center needed aid first. Actually I'd say that the HOSPITAL needed aid first. But there are so many people who are stranded, not just the poor and black. [/color]

So how do you explain the decision to evacuate non-essential medical personnel from the (privately funded) Tulane Hospital, when right down the street, critically ill patients and essential medical personnel were left stranded on the roof of the (public) Charity Hospital - a hospital that mainly serves poor, black, and indigent patients?
The hurricane, flooding, and destruction are not political. How the relief efforts are being handled certainly appear to be.
