5. A white New Orleans won't be New Orleans
Fortunately, Bush screws everything up so badly that I doubt he can pull off his ethnic cleansing plan.

For the record, one person in the article said that some neighborhoods were so poor that the schools were bad and no good jobs were available. Notice how that works? Blame the people in poverty for creating the situation, not the situation for creating the poverty. During desegregation, those who could afford it sent their kids to private schools, and left the public schools to the poor students, mostly black. This allowed the schools to be underfunded and ignored, and that's one reason they are so bad. The plan for school vouchers would make this a reality everywhere vouchers were allowed. It's backdoor resegregation.
