WSJ: White rich elude Orleans chaos, don't want poor blacks back
John Byrne

The Wall Street Journal front-page headline reads, "Old-Line Families /
Escape Worst of Flood / And Plot the Future / Mr. O'Dwyer, at His Mansion, /
Enjoys Highball With Ice; / Meeting With the Mayor."
That is, however, just
the beginning. According to the (paid-restricted) Journal, New Orleans' wealthy
white neighborhoods emerged very much intact, while black neighborhoods are
swimming in toxic sludge. The Journal piece, by Christopher Cooper, reads as
something torn from the pages of Fitzgerald's iconic portrait of the roaring
twenties--The Great Gatsby.
"NEW ORLEANS -- On a sultry morning earlier this
week," Cooper writes, "Ashton O'Dwyer stepped out of his home on this city's
grandest street and made a beeline for his neighbor's pool. Wearing nothing but
a pair of blue swim trunks and carrying two milk jugs, he drew enough pool water
to flush the toilet in his home."

He continues: "The mostly African-American neighborhoods of New Orleans are
largely underwater, and the people who lived there have scattered across the
country. But in many of the predominantly white and more affluent areas, streets
are dry and passable. Gracious homes are mostly intact and powered by
generators. Yesterday, officials reiterated that all residents must leave New
Orleans, but it's still unclear how far they will go to enforce the
order."
"The green expanse of Audubon Park, in the city's Uptown area, has
doubled in recent days as a heliport for the city's rich -- and a terminus for
the small armies of private security guards who have been dispatched to keep the
homes there safe and habitable. Mr. O'Dwyer has cellphone service and ice cubes
to cool off his highballs in the evening. By yesterday, the city water service
even sprang to life, making the daily trips to his neighbor's pool unnecessary.
A pair of oil-company engineers, dispatched by his son-in-law, delivered four
cases of water, a box of delicacies including herring with mustard sauce and 15
gallons of generator gasoline."
How do they want the
city rebuilt?............

how indeed! you KNOW how 'they' want it rebuilt!
