You have to figure that a large percentage of the poor in new Orleans are black just like anywhere else .. and when your poor and there is an opportunity to help yourself you take it. The rich white folks just call there insurance and find shelter till things blow over ... the poor don't own there homes ..but the white guy that does will have his fixed way before he gets to theres ... they feel the effects for a much longer time frame. I've never experienced a tragedy like that but i grew up very poor at times and it gives you a sense of now and teaches you to take advantage of opportunity .. i feel very bad for everyone there that has to deal with this ..
