I have a post up on the other blog about parallels between the Japanese-American internment during World War II and anti-mosque hysteria today.

In Today’s Outrage, Michael Fletcher writes in the Washington Post that the state governments in Louisiana and Mississippi structured their Katrina recovery programs in ways that favored the more affluent.

I started to title this post More News That Isn’t News, especially since the states have been especially stingy to people who lost homes in predominately African American neighborhoods. This month a federal judge ruled that Louisiana’s formula for distributing recovery funds discriminated against African Americans, so the state is begrudgingly preparing to cough out a few more dollars for low-income residents.

Some things never seem to change, do they?
