No, the victims aren't to blame for the hurricane. The magnitude of their suffering, however, is directly connected to the local government's unwillingness to choose prosperity and responsibility over entitlement and welfare.

That said, EVERYONE in New Orleans was wiped out. It's about human suffering, not black suffering. Rich people can rebuild, the poor can't without help. But the rescue workers and (vile Bush robot) military personnel are of all colors and backgrounds, and don't see race or class -- they see people in need. Time to get behind them with our wallets and words and leave the retarded partisanship behind. An entire American city has been wiped out, and all people can talk about is whether or not Bush directly caused the hurricane or simply likes eating babies.
