I swear I wish this whole "racial" issue wasn't true, but if u notice in this video... about 95% of the people getting rescued and bussed away were white... in total I counted 2 black getting on the bus...

We are all humans.. no matter what race, religion or creed...

God bless u all in New Orleans...

Really? So the video is Racial now? I was filming on the west side of NOLA at the Kenner and NOLA boarder just down the canal from the 1t7th street that failed. The people that I filmed were those who were living near the levee failure point. You don't get it, EVERYONE lost EVERYTHING. And if this video is racial, what about all the people in Mississippi that were all but forgotten about in the wake of Katrina hitting NOLA?

[vanitycola]

how many people or animals did you help while you filming all of this?

[bnvn1]

I'm a journalist, I don't get in the middle of the story to make the story, I am just their to document the truth. And the truth is on camera how people felt before it became a political issue.

[vanitycola]

can't you take that enormous logo out of the

center of the screen? it's distracting

and ruins the images.

[bnvn1]

No because people will rip it off and use it without obtaining a license for the footage.

dude my friend told me she left katrina & NO when it was closing in but she couldn't take her CAT with her. so poe (the cat) had to stay with the storm ontop of the fridge or roof (idk) and he somehow survived o_O

@bnvn1 I know i'm a bit late, but Biloxi, Waveland, Gulfport, all were completely destroyed. Wiped away. New Orleans had it bad, yes. But don't downplay what happened on our coast.

@latinababy11 You are one dumb fuckin bitch.

[dizeestl]

@latinababy11 you are a gd retard.

[orixxgirl]

@bnvn1 at least ppl here were let take there pets it took thousands of caring ppl to reunite owners and pets i know it was not about animals but its better than seeing them been torn apart which i know happened all over it was all very sad so is New Orleans getting back to normal yet or is it still a ghost town bnvn1 i do think you are right we need ppl there to document this sort of thing well done i see u were out for days

[RobdaVegasMailman]

latina, I can't speak for what happened elsewhere but I can tell you that before the storm, I lived in the neighborhood shown in this video. At the time of Katrina, it was overwhelmingly white. I think that and the fact that this is shot the day after Katrina hit is the main reason for what you see.

[howaminotmyself]

yea that watermark isn't annoying....

[latinababy11]

I never said this video is racial... what I said is that this video seems to show the proof of "racial" preference... I understand there were hundreds if not thousands of white americans that lost everything.. I am not disputing that... I'm saying this video is unbiased... and shows that the white americans were led out first... which I'm glad they were led out.. but the oppourtinity should've been there for the blacks as well... Because we know there were ppl choosing who to take..
