West is no diferent. No shit it's a black issue. NO has one of the largest, if not THE largest concentration of black americans in the whole US. Of course the lower economic status will make them susceptible to this crap, no money, no car, no gas, etc. What are they going t odo, WALK? The area was declared a disaster area prior to the hurrican hitting to allow the State and City government the opportunity to get federal aide once they ASKED for it.

Besides, we now see the results of teaching people to be sheep. relying on a gubmnt to provide for an individual is not logical. They can provide for a group not an individual person. Sri Lanka didn't sit around and wait until aide showed up. Their survivors started digging as soon as they brushed the sand off. But, then again, they work for a living.
