Oct 2018

Raised on the gulf coast and planning to retire to one of the hard hit towns. Own a lot there.

The political leaders in that town are African American. Hardly think they are steering aid to their white residents.

The fact is these are isolated communities are often reachable by only one highway. Many of which are blocked or even destroyed.

Suffering is equally bad for all. But since the minority community has way less resources they often suffer worse.

The men and women working to help people there, some of whom I know, are trying to help all people.

Not everything is a conspiracy.
