Amoung other issues ... before the hurrican New Orleans had a very corrupt city government (with over 50 cops found dirty, and 2 of whom are on death row). There were a lot of issues with the city that's not been brought out. The city suffered with having one of the highest crime rates in the country. There were many issues that you're definatly not seeing on CNN. The New York Times accused a Fox News anchor man for "pushing a US Solider" out of the way. Problem is, and the video backs it up, it never happened. The FNC anchor was on the other side of the woman, and the man who was on the side the soldier was on told him he didn't need any help. Needless to say, the Times didn't retract the article ... they're being sued.
I should also point out that there was money long before the hurricane hit meant to go to the Army Corps of Engineers that DIDN'T ... it weant to the state governments pet building projects.
There were several proposals to build up the levy system better ... it was blocked by people that "wanted to protect wildlife". There were several issues to either reinforce or build up the levy system, but they failed for these reasons. If you really want to blame anyone ... you can start by blaming that states government.
A black reverend said it best (on FNC's Hannity and Colms) when he said what they need is help -- not people wanting the camera as the other black leaders in the community are doing. This guy has been there for days working around the clock ...
Trust me, the black leaders you're hearing about, O.B., they don't represent the majority of this country. West (who blamed the president on being mean to black people) was boo'd when he got up to sing at a football game last night. And as I said on the other thread, there's about to be a new set of black leaders ... and they're going to be like Martin Luther King Jr. -- who talked about peace and love -- not the ones we have now who try to keep the black and white people seperated with their hate speach.
