actually a large neighborhood of middle class were victims of the flood on the other side of the city and they are just as abandoned as the middle class african americans in yet another part of the city... in reality the most effected by the storm were the elderly in general not just blacks, whites, vietnamese or any of the others in the city who had a national media spotlight on only the poor sections of the city and not on the rest of the 80% that was flooded
