Believe it or not, IMHO there was a much bigger reason behind that, and it wasn't because "George Bush doesn't like black people".
To my fellow Black Americans, all I can say is, "Don't take it personally" (read: as a racially motivated slight).

Help me understand how cavalier this attitude is after millions of people were displaced by a natural disaster and who happened to be people of color?
Moreover, the failure in human public health without a directive given from our publicly elected leaders who where a bit more concerned about payment upon looming disaster.
I have never lived in NOLA, I have visited numerous times. This city was targeted just like Falluja, Iraq. The only difference is it was not OVERTLY done by human hands, unless you consider global warming.
So please, help me understand that the Fed who has a piss poor history toward African Americans would be brought to justice? Or Just Us?
