[ # ] Gingrich Blames “Uneducated” Katrina Victims

March 10th, 2007 under Katrina, poor, NewOrleans, Social Issues

Gingrich on the 9th ward residents:

“How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep investigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn’t get out of the way of a hurricane.“

Hey Newt, 40 to 60% of ninth ward residents did not have automobiles! If they had been better educated maybe they would have realized they needed to buy cars! Great stats both pre and post Katrina are available at: The Greater New Orleans Community Data Center.

….“The Lower Ninth Ward consists of two distinct neighborhoods, Holy Cross and this neighborhood, the Lower Ninth Ward, called by some, The Lower 9. The neighborhood is rich with small businesses, barber and beauty shops, corner stores, eateries, day care centers, as well as public schools and some say, far too many churches. It has a resilient history of survival and activism.”….

Wow! Sounds like the 9th was a good place to raise a family. I think I’d rather live in a place like that than anywhere near Newt.
