Poor Blacks No Longer Welcome?

If I were you, I would read this post by Amanda at Pandagon and then follow the link to Feministe. But I'm not you (and you're not me, which explains why your uterus isn't cramping and you're not snapping at people for being nice to you).

Something is going on in New Orleans that has nothing to do with what Katrina itself did and everything to do with what some people are willing to pay to have done to turn New Orleans into the place they want, where the poor and the black and the non-corporate, non-rich need NOT apply.
