There is NOTHING new about how the gov't feels about the average citizen. The TRUTH.......only exist in 1 form.

There is NOTHING new about how the gov't feels about the average citizen. i agree, it's nothing new. all the more reason 2 continue shining light on the situation. and it's not just the average citizen... if the majority of citizens in that area of New Orleans had white faces the scenario would have been completely different. this nation wouldn't have stood 4 such an atrocity happening 2 predominantly white amerikkkans. period. | |

I don't have HBO, but I'm sure that the show is done well and tells the truth about this tragedy. If I get the slightest chance to see it-I definitely will check it out. One year later these survivors are still being cast aside and that is truly sad. | |

You know damn well that Salt Lake City would have had Naval Carriers showing up to rescue the folks there. That's how far the government would have gone to rescue white folks. Katrina exposed the Republican parties true feelings about black people. There is no doubt about this and as provocative as Kanye Wests statent was, it's true.

not all of them... and for those that were too poor... it was the CITY's responsibility to get them out Support your disgusting president all you want but this whole nation watched for DAYS while he ignored a city full of black folk.
LIE. from the day one, the city and state blocked aid efforts. and fro day 2 the cost guard was was lifting 1000 of people each day and moving them to city designated areas. once there the CITY ignored them. The Republican party does not care about non-whites that is something you simply can not support. The only use minorities are to that party is pawns for their own power and gain. That's it.
that my fried it the democrat party. they suck up to the "black vote" every cycle and then go back to ignoring them...(hell that is as least as supportable as what you said) | |

You're absolutely right, the Fed response should not have been needed BUT IT WAS!!!!!. It was needed on the first day.....on the second day.....on the third day.....even on the fourth. Bush was on vacation one of those days. 
Playing guitar on another 
Cutting cake on another: 
All the while people were abandoned, day after day after day after day..... 
But it's a comfort to know that the President finally showed up in the luxurious comfort of his private jet: 
It can all be summed up like this: 
People were suffering and dyin but our President had his priorities in order and that was to lax off and have a good time. The Katrina survivors should never have to pay taxes ever again..... Anyone who defends Bush is the worst kind of partisan and the most dangerous in our society because they would rather defend the failure of a politician than their fellow American citizens
