Re: Big Nation Piece on Katrina Killings (none / 0)

This is a great article. Katrina has been entirely forgotten and white-washed in the US. Hopefully with the Bush administration gone we can begin to take stock of this and the many other disasters of the past eight years.

Re: Big Nation Piece on Katrina Killings (none / 0)

Yes. I knew that there was a lot of racism around Katrina, with the delayed response, the media hype over what happened at the superdome, the conservative crowing afterwards over how the city would rebound now that some people were out, etcetera. Never heard about vigilantes killing blacks who fled to a dry white neighbourhood, though.

While this case is very literal the exact same thing was happening on a macro scale in the city as a whole. Katrina's aftermath was not incompetence.
