Ironically, these white people all had bottled water and said they were doing fine. As I remember, one lady was interviewed and said, "Everything is fine down here and we're ok. Don't worry about us." She had a big smile on her face. This was during a tape in which Fox allowed people to go on air and say they were alright, in hopes that their families from where ever would hear it.
So it's clearly racism and whatnot that one white lady had water, and that the government is hating on blacks?

By your own admission, New Orleans is mostly black.
So when you say that the poorest are the black people, it's clearly not a racial issue, as I said, it's demographics of the region. If Boston got hit by a massive typhoon, would they say that the US is racist against affluent whites?

Mmm, I know they couldn't really "prevent" it, but it is looking more and more evident that we've been dragging our feet until late this afternoon, be it because of logistics, or some other excuse.
I do think (as aforementioned) that this will be a model to learn and grow upon so that events like this can be better managed and handled in the future, though, by that same token, Katrina is arguably one of the worst natural disasters in US history, not just some "ordinary, run of the mill" hurricane (certainly I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness or tragedy of any natural disaster, though).
