Hurricane Katrina caused a lot of destruction to the Mississippi and Louisiana states .The sheer devastation and the slow government response to the hurricane Katrina left more questions than answers . If it means attributing them to the racial and class make - up of the people directly affected , we would not have done enough . Some prominent personalities even claim that it was not the hurricane Katrina that did all this . Katrina is a disaster but there is

Although racism is a worldwide problem it is rarely associated with America . The president was in the first place on his leave so any reasons of blaming him should not be there at all .
