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.
