Race in America...

The weird thing about all of this talk about how poor african americans are, and how they were "left behind" in the katrina recovery is the fact that new orleans is a predominantly african american city. According to census data, it's nearly 60% of the population. Of course video of the people there would be black. If a tornado hits nebraska, we'd see poor white people.
I hate when things become a race issue, when what they are is a poverty issue. Let's fix that, and stop pointing ethnically charged fingers everywhere.

good point ....it was a more of a poverty issue...it jus so happens that african americans are disproportionaly affected by poverty.

I kinda like Oreilly's end all solution to poverty. "just get an education" lol
