it is never that simple.

it is easy to blame the victims. this was the knee jerk reaction to the defenders of our president.

just because this guy is black doesn't make what he says any more true than a white person saying it.

he has a message to get out. come to his church and get moral.

most of the folks left behind just didnt have enough going right for themselves to get out. pure and simple. no car. most probably did not believe there was true danger. if you live your entire life below sea level and no storm has ever breached the levee why would you believe this one will? the entire system broke down. the law. public transportation. everything. this was an unprecedented natural (and partially man made) disaster.

it is too easy just to blame the victims.

like many things there is some truth in his article. that does not make it a truthful assessment.

my father used to say..."all lies are based on fact".

that includes this one.
