You're drastically overstating your case.

I think that unless you rode to school on the short bus, at this point, you realize the reality that the poor folks in NO were faced with. They were stuck there with no cars, no other means of transportation, essentially left to fend for themselves.

Whose fault is that? I think the answer to that is up for grabs. My feeling is that FEMA wasn't built to be a first responder, and that the local community should have had a plan. But that's beside the point right now.

The fact is that poor folks in NO are disproportionately black. That means there were/are a disproportionate amount of black faces in refugee shelters, etc.

As to the article's reasons, it's an interesting comparison of TWO DIFFERENT NEWS AGENCIES, but does it indicate some vast conspiracy by the United States of AmeriKKKa? Absolutely not.
