Katrina and Fox

Fox News is pretty infamous for its support to the Republican party. And this article, in my opinion, depicts it clearly. Finding a website devoted entirely on Katrina was extremely hard to find and it seemed like the only interesting links I could find had both already been taken. So, the Fox News article was the next best thing. Why ? Because it is an article that talks about the Hurricane and the situation after the facts with a strong republican voice.
The author of the article exposes the fact that African Americans remember having been, in history at some point, neglected, inferior. A feeling that was reinforced after the Hurricane. After the Hurricane, there had been a lot of talking about Bush and the help provided. Many African Americans felt that the help provided would have come quicker and would have been more effective if the majority of people touched by the disaster hadn't been of colour. 77 percent of white americans disagree with these accusations. The article also mentions the fact that black people saw this natural disaster as a proof of racial inequalities in America. 56% of white americans didn't see it as an important lesson.

Yet, what is said (that is a little more positive this time) is that the black community really came together to help the victims of the Hurricane. A lot of money was raised. Even Rap and hip hop stars provided help. [Funnily enough, the said rappers said to not give money to the Red Cross as no one would know where the money would go to ...]
The author also points out that the situation of african americans has really changed through the years. Now, you get millionaire black talk-show presenters (like Oprah Winfrey), over-paid black basketball players, something a couple of decades ago wouldn't have even been possible to think of ! This social change has permitted other blacks to help out more effectively.
