HUD chief foresees a ‘whiter’ Big Easy
A Bush Cabinet officer predicted this week that New Orleans likely will never again be a majority black city, and several black officials are outraged.
Alphonso R. Jackson, secretary of housing and urban development, during a visit with hurricane victims in Houston, said New Orleans would not reach its pre-Katrina population of “500,000 people for a long time,” and “it’s not going to be as black as it was for a long time, if ever again.”
The article goes on to say that most blacks may not want to or “have the means” to return.
Means? like the deeds/titles to their destroyed homes? proof of address if they rented?
oh, yeah, they’ll import blacks for Mardi Gras and for other tourists attractions, but then, they get returned to their “gated” communitied far away on “surplus gov’t land”…
As a reminder: Cheney voted AGAINST sanctioning South Africa.
can Bush be any different?
