I disagree. I think he does care, just as much as he does about the white people stuck in the area. The 'looting/finding' picture has absoutely nothing to do with George Bush, that was discussed at length in the thread you pointed out. Bush didn't write the articles.
He may be at fault for not organizing proper emergence responses more quickly to New Orleans.
From what little I really know about New Orleans, I understand there is a very large black population, and that they perhaps make up the majority of the poor in the city. The poorer people most likely live in areas which have fewer safety precautions, they might have less access to transport than more wealthy or middle class people. People with not much money are people with not much money, I don't see how color is a factor here at all. Like I said, it may seem like the news coverage is showing mainly blacks in desparate situations. I wonder if it's true that white people aren't shown as much as blacks. Perhaps if people already have it in their minds that blacks are being ignored and neglected they are more likely to notice when they are in peril?
Sorry, I see two points here, that George Bush has been slow to react to New Orleans, and that there are many black people in New Orleans. I see absolutely no connection between the two at all and wish people would supply some evidence when they say something as broad and as vague as 'Bush doesn't care'.
