I do not know anybody in New Orleans nor am i connected to it in any way i am just writing to express how i think the government is dealing with the situation. One year after hurricane Katrina passed only 5% of the homes have been rebuilt and it has been speculated that none of the relief money has reached the inner city and most homes in the middle to lower class families. It just seems unfair to me that these people have lost their jobs, homes, family members, and memories from where they used to live and the federral government doesnt seem to have a sense of urgency to do anything about it. The media is very biased with its coverage of showing how people dealt with the storm while they were trying to survive and saying that everything is progressing normally and that relief is on the way. They don\'t show the black people getting shot for trying to grab food from grocery stores so they can survive or the bodies of dead people and pets that are still lying around. I just can\'t believe that these people are still without homes and jobs but everybody is acting like things are just fine and will progress normally. It\'s not going to happen unless we act in a more drastic nature. After the news about the hurricane died down everybody thought that things were back to normal but we have no idea what it\'s like over there. This should still be a top story on the news about how many lives have been lost that could have been saved. People have stopped caring and I juts dont think that it\'s fair to the people of New Orleans. We should be pressing and making sure people are doing OK and getting back on their feet instead of assuming that the government is going to take care of it because they\'re not. This is juts a big example of how they shun the urban culture and people that live in the inner city. It\'s been happening for years but now it\'s in everybody\'s face and they\'re juts too oblivious to notice it or too busy to care.
