I know answering a question with a question is wrong but here goes' Why with all the flooding in the mid west was there no looting of high dollar stuff going on? The flooding was almost as bad there as the aftermath from Katrina! Case closed!!

Because it's the Midwest. There isn't anything to loot.
"High dollar stuff" in the Midwest consists of a case of soda and an unopened Moon Pie.
@aaa: There's nothing in the bumfuck states. Not even a decent car
People had more time and opportunity to flee in the midwest flooding. Fleeing rising water is one thing, fleeing rising water in 100+ mph winds is quite another. Most of the 'looting' in Katrina was people looking for food and medical supplies because they ~had~ to in order to survive. Even some pharmacy chains announced that no one that looted their store during Katrina would be prosecuted because they understood why.
- The Katrina looters were not fighting 100 mph winds, as the winds had died down long before the looting started.
- Cedar Rapids, Iowa (population: ~ 120,000) was right in the middle of the hardest-hit area. It's not a big city, but it's hardly "bumfuck" either. The flood also covered a far greater area than Katrina, so it's a safe bet that the number of dwellings destroyed in the Midwest this year is close to (most likely exceeding) the number in New Orleans from Katrina.
I don't support anything "steve s" says, but let's at least get things right. Just because it's racist doesn't mean you shouldn't get your shit straight.
Also, a lot of you folks are very discriminatory towards people in the Midwest. It's not racism, but it is rather hypocritical given the nature of this forum.
For future reference, the question was:
"Instead of calling it racism that all the black men in prison are there unjustly,?
Facts are facts, yes, there are more blacks in prison, but that is due to the fact of more blacks commiting the crimes. Find solutions to prevent the persons from having or wanting to commit crimes, instead of worrying what race is inthe "house"
