If you went to Harlem, Compton, East Oakland, etc. and took a poll amongst Black Americans to see if they think 911 really is a joke, the findings would be expected. This is just the same poll on a national scale.

Again, I think that's all pretty muddled. Something happened in New Orleans that didn't happen in other jurisdictions which were equally or perhaps even more poverty stricken. This was a very clear disregard for a very clear demographic, but it wasn't just class structure alone, and it's a mistake to label them Poor and Black, when a lot of them were just working class and middle class who happened to make up that 80% of Orlineans that happen to be Black. The hurricane has brought a lot of civil rights issues to the surface. Race is just the most obviouse.
