New Orleans Is Flooded Again.

But, but... Didn't you hear? George Bush hates black people. I'm not sure if you listen to hip hop, or the notable hip-hopper Kanye West, but that's what his opinion is.

I don't think it's about racism, it's just about money. That's all "da pres-o-dent" has ever been about.

Alright, I think I started this with this quote:

The media either needed something fresh, or focused on the rich, white folks down in Texas so they would receive more sympathy - a.k.a. funding aid

So I shall wallow in my own demise... When I said that little tid-bit, it was a generic response as I believe the only color that people really listen too is green colored. What I meant to say, if I may try again, is that it seems in my opinion that the media choose to focus specifically on Texans as heros and ignored the problems NO was suffering to a greater extent. Furthermore, regarding the media, I find it strange that typically caucasian individuals are displayed as "local hero's" or is some way more needy when it comes to aid. All those of negro decent, except for political leaders, have been displayed as low-income and devestated, thus my inclusion - however unwarrented - of my observation of the news. It wouldn't be fair to stereio-type 'media' in general, and definitly not people by race or poverty for the sake of argument, especially when I'm simply trying to point out the apparent media "lack-of-coverage" in NO and the way that makes me feel, nothing more or less.

Hope this makes some sense and perhaps clears some misunderstanding up. I will reread when I get home. At work now and getting busy.
