Wow... you need to read better.
I calling the author an idiot, not a racist... whole other word.
True. Someone else accused the author of being a racist. He is not the only Black writer who wrote an article like this btw. I saw some by Black authors who aren't Republican shills, as well.
As for the rest, I don't know this writer, but he reported what happened accurately (official incompetence at the city level, unbelievable ass-hattery and true savagery on the part of the New Orleans underclass.) He doesn't blame them for being hit by a hurricane, he blames them for making the situation 10 time worse by doing, well, virtually every unproductive thing you could do in such a situation.
The helicopter incident does not make or break the case, if it never happened there are plenty of things did happen.
