Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

Racism

I don’t say one way or another whether New Orleans being predominantly a black city contributed to the slow and in some cases non-existent federal response, but I find it a bit hilarious that dopes like Bill O’Reilly would so loudly scoff at such an idea. Don’t they read history? Don’t they recognize the jaw-dropping injustice that our Black countrymen and women have had to endure over the history of our country? It may be unlikely that racism slowed help from arriving, but it’s hardly unthinkable.
