Greg Palast Video: Killing the culture in New Orleans

[Generic Other]

In this short video documentary, BBC reporter, Greg Palast, investigates why so many poor minorities had to die and so few minority communities are returning to New Orleans. The report was first aired on August 28, 2006 by DemocracyNow!

1. Last year at this time

a number of writers warned that NO would be closed to the poor and black and "upscaled" for the rich and white. It's all coming true of course. I can't fathom how it is done so blatantly and doesn't become headline scandal for the crooks and liars??? And at the end of the Greg Palast video, the sickening punch line - the consultant hired to study what went wrong - the same company that was supposed to make evacuation work.

It is sickening, so sickening, what our government criminals and their
"privatizing" cronies continuously now perpetrate on our nation's citizens.
