This will be last time I mention Katrina (maybe)

Gateway Pundit does a fine job responding with facts to the lies regarding the charge of racism in the response to the victims of the Katrina Hurricane.

This was one of my favorites (I've retained Gateway's links):

Fiction: Blacks in New Orleans had to wait to be rescued because of government racism. "George Bush doesn't care about black people, "They have been trying to sweep us (African-Americans) under the kitchen sink and it was so in people's faces and so on Tv... that they couldn't even hide it any more," Kanye West on September 10, 2005.

Fact: From Anthony Geeck on "The Katrina Media Message" as reported on 97.1 FM Radio:

"St. Bernard, Jefferson, and St. Tammmany are all 90% white bedroom communities. St. Bernard was hardest hit in the hurricane. It was over 5 days before the Federal Government showed up. The Feds don't know we exist. It should have been the governor who said "Hey, we haven't heard anything from St. Bernards". We were totally inundated. Over 95% of all of the housing was underwater."

"It's not like some remote fishing village like they try to portray us. 66,000 people live in my parish. It's the 18th largest parish in Louisiana. They're picking up pets in the city and I still have people in the attics trapped waiting on roofs for someone to come rescue them..."
