My bigot brother in law is circulating that email but with a different answer.  It reads the same until the end, where it says...

"because some breeds of people ruin everything they have and everything you give them...while other breeds can pull themselves up by there (sic) own bootstraps...."

In short, Katrina victims were whiny blacks with a chip on their shoulders and a sense of entitlement.  While midwest flood victims were mostly whites who believe in hard work and personal responsibility.

Given the racist crap that spews from a couple of forum member keyboards, I am surprised I have not seen this version of the email circulated here.
It has nothing to do with race, the people involved in Katrina did have a sense of entitlement and cared little about personal responsibility, just who they could blame for their problem.

The people involved in Katrina didn't have a sense of entitlement and it wasn't that they cared little for personal responsibility, thats utter crap.  The people of Katrina were mainly dirt poor, and in poverty.   The area hardest hit by Katrina was the poorest areas of one of the poorest cities in the U.S
