A heartening Katrina story of the underreported kind

With much of MSM presenting a Katrina "race angle" theme suggesting whites abandoned blacks, it's good to see a needed counterpoint today at Betsy's Page. She begins:

With all the focus on a racial subtext to the New Orleans disaster and Jesse Jackson exacerbating ill will by comparing the evacuees to "Africans in the hull of a slave ship.", this story is a heartening exception.

In the last week, Joseph Brant lost his apartment, walked by scores of dead in the streets, traversed pools of toxic water and endured an arduous journey to escape the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in his hometown New Orleans.

Read the rest of his story. As Betsy says, "(it's)heartening."

A lot of cross-race helping occurred during the worst hours of the storm and has continued since. MSM needs to do more reporting of that. Right now, we're getting a very distorted presentation that serves only those who would divide us for their purposes.
