Dean: Race Played a Role in Katrina Deaths

Race was a factor in the death toll from Hurricane Katrina, Howard Dean told members of the National Baptist Convention of America on Wednesday at the group's annual meeting.

Dean, chairman of the Democratic party, made the comments to the Baptists' Political and Social Justice Commission. The Baptist Convention, with an estimated 3.5 million members, is one of the largest black religious groups in the country.

"We must ... come to terms with the ugly truth that skin color, age and economics played a deadly role in who survived and who did not," Dean said.


on edit: I have to post the RNC response to Dean: Ken Mehlman, Dean's counterpart at the Republican National Committee, said he hoped Dean "will match his rhetoric with his support for reforms that replace bureaucracy and entitlement with hope and opportunity."

1. Dean is right, but he failed to include something!

I was listening to Keith Olberman tonight when he told the story about Mike Browm being the head of FEMA during the 4 sequential storms that hit Florida! Mike stood beside Jeb and was lauded for his great success in helping the residents of Fl.

NOW, this same guy can't seem to get his act together for 4 days in another storm????

Howard need to publicize the fact that much more attention was paid to the storms in Fl last year, and question...was it because Jeb is Shrub's bro? Was it because FL is a tough political State? Is it really that Brown is incompetent, or is he just biased against blue areas????
