21. Thank you for saying it

I had a dispute with a co-worker. He said people didn't leave because they survived other storms. I said that was true for some, but others simply had no choice. He said NOLA had buses to evacuate the poor. In this tragedy it's clear the white skinned are helped far above the darker skinned people. It even has been pointed out here at DU, white people find things, darker skinned people loot. :banghead:
