Their own incompetence was the culprit. Not racism. As a poster on another thread noted, even if you had to walk, 12 miles isn't that far. Some people won't lift a finger to save their own ass.

Katrina actually saved lives given the fact that New Orleans hasn't suffered a single homicide since then.

What I think really happened is 80 - 90% of those people in N.O. chose to stay behind to loot. Well, that choice came back to bite 'em in the a$$ bigtime. Now they are trying to divert the attention elsewhere.

Just my opinion. Maybe I'm racist? /s

New Orleans was a $hithole long before Katrina hit...they didn't seem to mind living in their "concentration camp" then!
