Ok, I'm back, and it seems that the catastrophe in my back yard has sparked some tremendously high-brow discussion.
To simplify...
New Orleans is approximately 65% black, most of them are poor.
Poor people have reduced access to resources.
Reduced access to resources reduces your survivability in a catastrophe.
Blacks are over represented in the body count.
It's not rocket science, and it's not just the white man's fault.
I welcome any aid the Hollywoodites can provide, but money is only a short term panacea.
