Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't NO 60%+ black?

That makes it statistically most likely that refugees and looters alike are going to be black.

The problem with NO was that it filled with water like a bath tub--making every conventional method of post-storm cleanup impossible and creating a situation where people were trapped. It's much easier to deliver goods by semi and rail. Much slower by boat and helicopter. Searching for people is also easier when you can walk...as is maintaining law and order.
