Conservative Blacks and Ministers Blame Black Culture for Katrina Woes
I don't know if I would go that far, but there is a kernel of truth in that statement. What went wrong during Katrina was threefold: failure of local and state government, leftism and the media.
The media is the one that mostly fed into the perception that blacks were becoming animals (raping babies, murderous rampages and eating people) and leftists are the only people who would believe that blacks were capable (after only three days) of such evil.
But that doesn't negate the photos of people running out of Walmart -- not with medical supplies and water -- but Xboxes, jewelery and other things that were not essential.
What should come out of this is a lesson on how citizens need to remember their own responsibility in disasters like this: organize, help yourselves and others, and know that you are ultimately responsible for your own safety.

I'm not sure how you get to "leftism" as a cause for the lack of federal response to Katrina. Perhaps you think it's Louisiana's own fault because a state and city that didn't vote Republican shouldn't expect and aid from a Republican controlled government.
The terrorist target database sure seems to indicate that.
And your usual nod to personal responsibility is BS too. You support a crime organization that doesn't ever take personal responsibility for anything. And nobody can "take responsibility for their own safety" in the face of a category 5 hurrican. That's one of the reasons we form governments in the first place.
So you're whole argument boils down to "look, some of those naughty negros were looting Walmart. So none of them deserve any feredal aid."

I thought LA voted went for Bush in 2000 and 2004.
leftism is an ideology of government dependence through welfare and socialism.
people didn't leave the area because their welfare checks arrived that monday following the storm.
