If this had been a red State city city full of affluent white people

would the response have been different ??


Given that most of the residents of New Orleans are black, I'd expect most
of the ones "left behind" to be black.

I imagine we'd have worked just as hard to help them if they were white.

But who besides you cares what color they are?

But many of the people who are still there chose to stay when they were
warned to get out.

One of them is Fats Domino. Hopefully, he and his family are OK.


And many had no way to leave, even if they did want to.

My prayers go out for them all.

Hope Fats is around for the next big Rock and Roll revival.


Well let me say, if this had happened to Hollywood help would have poured in left right and centre.
Sorry but thats the way I see it.

Its a bit like this county (England) who gives a f*** for the poor side
of it.
