Hurricane Katrina & African Americans

I found an interesting website, it called 'BlackNews'. Everyting on this website is about black people. There is an article about African-Americans suffer from the Hurricane Katrina. The title of the article is pretty tough Hurricane Katrina Leaves Thousands of African-Americans Without Shelter, Food or Water.

Across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, more than 1 million residents remained without electricity, some without clean drinking water. An untold number who heeded evacuation orders were displaced and 40,000 were in Red Cross shelters, with officials saying it could be weeks, if not months, before most will be able to return.
Emergency medical teams from across the country were sent into the region and President Bush cut short his Texas vacation Tuesday to return to Washington to focus on the storm damage.
Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown warned that structural damage to homes, diseases from animal carcasses and chemicals in floodwaters made it unsafe for residents to come home anytime soon. And a mass return also was discouraged to keep from interfering with rescue and recovery efforts.

Probably they said this because they were very angry, and probably they were little bit extreme. But they reproted almost the truth. The former President Bush (have to say this right now) were still in his vacation in Texas. And Bush didn't make the correct decision on time.

Here is an another article on FOXNews. 'Katrina Rallies African-Americans'. This article demonstrated to African-Americans, Hurricane Katrina has become a generation-defining catastrophe — a disaster with a predominantly black toll, tinged with racism. They've rallied to the cause with an unprecedented outpouring of activism and generosity.
Blacks who have been touched by the disaster are not only donating money but gathering supplies, taking in friends and relatives, even heading south to help shoulder the burden of their people. However, everyone every life is equale in front of disaster. No one want to lose families, friends. But the disaster had occurred indeed, those people who dead could not be revived. We can only hope something like this will not happen again.
