He's not.  Kanye West was so stupid for saying that.  They told those people to EVACUATE New orleans.  The ones that stayed behind were just dumb.  Sorry to be mean, but it's true.  If you live in a city below sea level and see a cat. 5 hurricane heading your way your best bet is to leave!! DERRR.. And it's not like there were only black ppl that live in new orleans.  there were white people on the news too.\n\n\n*sniff* sniff* my feelings were hurt. BLAH\n\nSeriosly I'm sure all the people could have found a way out.  If you're old, call 911 and tell them to come get you and take you somewhere safe.  if you're poor go to a shelter and remember to bring your own food. If people were smart and read up on things they would have realized that most emergency shelters DO NOT provide food/water.  So dont' give me a sob story.  By the way if the continent were flooding you'd better bet your butt I'd atleast find a hollowed out log to jump into when the water started rising.  Not stayed in my apartment like a dumby
