Question

Why is it that the only people they are showing on tv being evacuated for the hurricane black?

Answer 1

could you change the channel and get some real reporting like CNN!!!!

Answer 2

I don't know what channel you're watching. CNN was unbiased in their reporting,  and apparently your station wasn't.

Answer 3

Change the channel, the footage I've seen has been diverse.

Answer 4

The lower lying areas are poorer neighborhoods and have predominantly black residents.  

Answer 5

Probably because the majority of residents that are not able to provide their own transportation are black. This region has a higher percentage of blacks than many areas of the US. I saw whites on buses and in lines earlier in the day....change channels and see if it gets any different. I've watched CNN, Fox, Weather Channel and MSNBC. They've all been fairly even.

Answer 6

There happen to be a lot of residents of New Orleans who are of African descent, so a lot of them will be evacuating.

I have also seen plenty of news footage of Caucasians climbing onto buses and trains to get out of the city.

Answer 7

You're not the only one that thought that!  I did too!  You are right...the only ppl I see on the news are black ppl! So i dont feel as bad now that someone else saw it too! GOod !

Answer 8

there not being evacuated there feeling a crime after looting
