NEWS: Katrina could prompt new black "great migration"

Migration implies choice. Seems to me that the poor are being herded, by ultimatum. No choice there.

For the time you are correct. In the future though that will be a different matter. These people are going to be given a chance to reestablish their resources and then they can make a determination on where they want to go.


My previous post here is already starting to come true. On Wed. during the open statement portion of the Pittsburgh City Council meeting a woman berated the Mayor and the Council as well as the County Government for having the resources to aid hurricane victims while not having the resources to help the people already in the community. The media outlets are giving her statement lots of publicity.
