New Orleans black population has been more negatively affected by Hurricane Katrina than the city's white population, according to a recent survey.
"The survey, conducted by the Henry J. Family Foundation in Orleans, Plaquemines, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes, shows that 59 percent of African Americans say their lives remain disrupted by Katrina today, compared with 29 percent of white residents."
"Among blacks, 72 percent say they are having problems getting health care, versus 32 percent of whites. And 55 percent of African Americans say they feel they are being treated unfairly in the recovery process, while 19 percent of whites feel the same way."
