Hoboken, N.J., is a city on the verge of riots. Tempers flared Wednesday morning outside City Hall as some residents complained the city was slow to get food and other supplies out to the stranded. While the more affluent areas of the city have received massive amounts of aid, areas of the city where the primary residents are black continue to be ignored. Fights have broken out over food as many blacks are left to fend for themselves in this city of 50,000.

Just like after Katrina, whites get all the help while places like New Orleans with a high black population was totally ignored. Obama needs to step in and demand equality of aid. :x

All while the SCOTUS has decided to take on the case for affirmation action because we are in "a post discrimination" era.

Yeh, right.

Just a quick question. On some level wouldn't you expect the city to respond and provide services to the areas where citizens have paid the most taxes, before areas where they have paid less taxes? I'm not saying that it would necessarily be right but at least understandable on a you get what you pay for kind of way. To me, the aid should go where the greatest need is first, and everywhere else after that.

TRhat experiment has been exp;licitly tried in many places, New York City for one. It was a total failure. New York City once had competing private fire companies working for profit. If you insured with one company they would respond. If you were uninsured, they would watch your home or business burn while they negotiated. It was a disaster. Experience is most often why we have these larger social institutions that treat everyone equally, or should.

Lucky shame on you for using that old racist picture. The man in the picture was actually an employee of that liquer store and was trying to salavage what he could but racist still pretend the photo shows a black man stealing the beer.

A good idea would be that a term of flood insurance is that at the governments discretion they may buy your property from you at reduced market value and turn it into a park.
