And the significance of race in this matter is the slow reaction on the part of the U.S. government to send aid during Katrina and during the current crises. This brings up memories of the media’s abuse of words during Katrina when starving people were looking to shops, etc for food and supplies. Most of them (Black…mind you) were called looters! And the best the U.S. can do for Haiti a mere $100,000? Come on!
