JACKSON: `HURRICANE HELL WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF WHITES WERE STRANDED'

PULP FICTION star SAMUEL L JACKSON feels sure the Hurricane Katrina death toll would have been much higher if American whites had been caught up in it.

The movie star is mourning the loss of thousands African-American lives in the August (05) storm, which has devastated southeast America, but he insists it could have been much worse.

He says, "African-Americans are kind of used to adversity and that gave them an edge on the survival factor, in that they're not used to things being easy for them anyway."

Yeah, sure, BUT THEY WEREN'T and besides, New Orleans is and was 70% Americans (according to Jesse, not refugees).

This foolishness of Hollywood has no bounds.

I don't see that those left in New Orleans did anything especially noteworthy.

However, the smart ones guaranteed their survival by leaving BEFORE the damn storm hit.
