The stranded people of New Orleans are largely black and poor. No one has mentioned that until now. CNN confirmed today on the Situation Room that there had been oversight among the media. Saddest thing, to me, was how much of the early coverage on CNN Headline news focused on two white families who paid hundreds to get out, one by limo and one by taxi.

Considering all of the violence and moral degeneration going on in New Orleans, I'd think no race or culture would want the credit of being the dominant people still down there. I'm ashamed that so many Americans turned on each other like this. People need to come together in a crisis, not start shooting and looting. Yes, this situation is catastrophic, but so was the Tsunami, and you didn't hear about everyone going nuts after that. This just makes a terrible situation that much worse.
oops, that was me.
