What makes it a race thing though?
From eye witness reports I've read it sounds to me like people are out looting and running wild with AK-47's and any other weaponry they can find. Try and imagine how hard it must be to orchastrate a rescue mission for an entire city, realise how many people would be working around the clock to try and get this enviromental mess cleaned up, aswell as rescue probably thousands of stranded people.

Its bush's fault that there are a lack of rescue workers and machinery that are over in Iraq. But why is it all of a sudden a race issue? Thats like waiting in line at a shop counter and yellin "THIS STORE IS RACIST BECAUSE IT WONT SERVE ME FASTER THAN WHATS PROBABLY POSSABLE GIVEN THE CURRANT LARGE STRAIN ON RESOURCES.."

Give me one good solid reason as to why these claims of racism are valid and how exactly would it be different if this natural disaster occured in a prodominantly white area.. Seriously....
