I don't blame bush for the devastation in katrina I blame him for the way they handled it after it happened. I have lots of friends at my school who were from NO and they families were affected. They say that most people didn't evacuate because they always get an alert to evacuate and the storm is not as big as they expected. Some people also couldn't afford or had nowhere to go if they did evacuate. For the length of time it took for some help to come was unacceptable. It should not have taken that long for people to get relief and its sad how you still have people who are still struggling that lost their homes.
As far racial tension with americans on whether barak is black or white. Its not just blacks who claim biracial people as black its black or white. When anyone is mixed with black and something whether it be black and white or hispanic or asian they are always viewed as black and are more excpeted in the black community. But obama is biracial because his dad is black and his mother is white. But he's is widely more excepted by the black community than the white community because he's mixed.
