However, with Hurricane Katrina, I wouldn't necessarily cast total blame on the government either. I believe they made some mistakes but I can't blame them for TOTAL misfortune and tragedy! It wasn't just the black community placing blame on the administration, it was also caucasians who were affected as well. You saw a predominance of black people; however, there were others in the mix. Because I'm sure Slidell has a heavy caucasian population and not black.

There is no doubt in my mind that there were white people who were upset and spoke out about the breakdown of the state and local goverment and the fact that the FEMA director was a moron. But, you didn't see it on the same level as you saw the outcry from the black community.....who pretty much blamed everything on Bush. The black community loved Nagin, and I don't think they took the time to realize that he was at fault probobly the most out of anyone.
