8. In America there is a racial aspect to blame the poor because the face
of poverty in America is disproportionately Black. In England (reportedly) there is more of a "but for the grace of god go I"

I would argue that this was very apparent during Katrina. I felt like saying what part of no extra money for gas, no credit card or extra money for lodging do you not understand. If Nagin had loaded people onto the buses that repugs smugly pointed out ended up under water where was he to take them? A cornfield somewhere inland?
