No, I am not in any way high. I very distinctly recall that celebrities were in fact complaining that the rescue of Katrina victims was taking too long because "George Bush hates black people." Many of the people who were not under mandatory evacuation orders did not have access to transportation to shelters because it wasn't provided and they simply couldn't afford it on their own. When all is said and done, these rescue missions will cost A LOT less than those of Hurricane Katrina. While I think that those with the capability to do so should have definitely left as I did, I understand those who could not afford to, and those who did not have access to public transportation. All that is covered on the national news is the people who had access to these things and failed to heed the warnings. Most of the rescue missions have been to help those who were not under mandatory evacuation.

Many of the viewers of this website are not aware that very few counties in Texas and parishes in LA ordered mandatory evacuations. For instance, Orange County, TX was not under a mandatory evacuation, nor told they were in imminent danger. Many of these citizens are the ones being rescued. The victims of Hurricane Katrina received the same warnings, and none of you would have dared say these things about them. I am from South Louisiana and have lived through many hurricanes and feel the victims should be treated equally. I think there is a bit of reverse racism going on when white and hispanic citizens are expected to follow evacuation orders or suffer the consequences and African American citizens are not held to that same standard.

on Adrianne Curry's "Controversial" Comments About Hurricane Ike at 22:13 09/14/2008

As someone living in South Louisiana who has been through several hurricanes, I have mixed feelings about her comments. On one hand, I feel that they should have definitely heeded the warnings. On the other hand, I feel that the same warnings were given to Hurricane Katrina victims who did not evacuate, and if these comments had been made about those people, they would have been considered racist. I would just like to know why Kanye isn't on national television talking about George Bush hating people in Texas. Bottom line- the people who failed to evacuate each hurricane should be treated equally; if the government spent billions on Katrina, it should do the same for Ike.
