Dear Mr. Louis, Regarding your column In view of the level of the destruction, and being mindful of the fact that ill considered comments can make a bad situation worse, don't you think that kicking the racial hatred ant hill could be done next month instead of today? The idea is to get aid to the storm victims as fast as humanly possible, not incite riots across the country. Take a look at this picture: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050901/480/flpc21109012015 That's one yard with 100+ buses up to their hubs in water on Thursday morning, which should have all been in motion moving people out back on Sunday. Did George Bush and the White House do that? Nuh uh. There were people stuck in New Orleans because the LOCAL authorities were incompetent and probably corrupt as you say. The authorities are also BLACK, like the victims. The Mayor of N.O. is black, Mr. Andrew Brown is most likely black, and most of the cops who bugged out instead of doing their jobs were black. We know this because the city of N.O. has a predominantly black police force and city government. You might want to investigate how many of those corrupt state and local officials you mentioned are black as well. Kindly chill on the "Get Whitey!" rhetoric, would you? It is factually wrong, it doesn't help anything, and there's an excellent chance it will hurt. The Phantom Formerly of Tarrytown NY
