Reply #3: A huge failure indeed, and everyone needs to be reminded [View All]

I know when race is mentioned, it sounds even worse, but IMO we need to emphasize this was a case of classism. The majority affected were black, but many were white, their common denominator, almost all were poor. When race becomes a focal point, we leave out many of the victims, and I believe people need to be reminded that the governments failure, was a class failure, which clearly shows who the repugs are there for, and who they care about and who they don't. When the repug government fails it's poor people before, during and after an event like katrina, when all the resources of the government could have been used with no objections from anyone, they failed. This clearly shows their heart, they will never do anything for the benefit of the poor, they only care about the wealthy citizens of this country, and the big corps, and too hell with the rest.
