How do they know the people at the Superdome & Conv. Ctr are poor?
After 5-6 days of no food and water and wading through floods, people with a million dollar home and homeless people look alike. Of course they are all about in the same boat now unless it was banked and not in their property. I am sure not every person of means evacuated. A lot of those people might have wanted to stay to protect what they had and when things got so bad they had no choice but to go to the Superdome or Convention Center. Every time I watch the news people still in the city seem to be described as the poor who could not afford to evacuate. Maybe they are just considered poor because they are mostly black. Maybe the word has not gotten out that black people can be monied too. This has just opened up so many issues...
