    ...and then they threw the food in the dumpster, kept $10 million, and made hats and shirts for themselves in their downtime.

    Oh I don't know tell me how do you prepare for a Hurricane to not knock down power lines, trees and houses. How do you stop flooding and mudslides.

    Puerto Rico is another shithole that the US just needs to cut loose. Maybe Cuba wants a sister island?

    Not enough to stop them from becoming millionaires apparently.

    Everyone faces racism, sexism, heightism, ageism, and a billion other 'isms.

    Skin color doesn't have a corner on the market.

    Oh I dunno. Maybe by having a plan.

    Maybe by making sure you have stocks of emergency supplies on hand.

    Maybe by fixing your piece of **** electric grid.

    Maybe by fixing your endemic corruption.

    Maybe by making sure you have people who will get their asses in a truck and deliver supplies sitting at a dock.

    Let me sum up PR for you:

    PUERTO RICAN DEMOCRATS...ALL OF THEM....

    5 Months After Maria, Puerto Rican Politicians Found Hoarding Relief Supplies

    AND:


    ‘Inept’ Puerto Rican government ‘riddled with corruption’: CEO

    The head of an international engineering firm in Puerto Rico said in an editorial Saturday that when the time came to send 50 of his engineers to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, he bypassed local officials and went straight to FEMA.

    The reason, said Jorge Rodriguez, the CEO of PACIV,
    in an editorial in the New York Post, is that “for the last 30 years, the Puerto Rican government has been completely inept at handling regular societal needs, so I just don’t see it functioning in a crisis like this one.”

    “Even before the hurricane hit, water and power systems were already broken. And our $118 billion debt crisis is a result of government corruption and mismanagement.”

    Unfortunately wherever there in inequity and inequality it is usual to find that race is a root cause

    Inept federal government response and of course its not trump's administration's fault. Its everybody else's, especially the victims.

    Meanwhile in trump's deluded world view, he and his administration did a great job.

    Bullshit. I have two great friends from Western Africa who worked on a cargo ship just to get here, with next to NOTHING.

    They now own a very successful delivery/shipping company based out of Savannah, and both are very dark skinned, I assure you. They also get up at dawn everyday , and expect nothing more than the chance to pursue their happiness. Their RACE has nothing to do with it.

    They are APPALLED at American blacks who complain instead of WORK, and APPLAUD those who have had the gumption to take control of their lives.

    It has NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE; it is all about CULTURE...and ALL BLACKS, even ALL AMERICAN BLACKS, DO NOT SHARE/PRACTICE the SAME CULTURE.


    What's your BIG EXCUSE for the STUNNING CORRUPTION OF THE DEMOCRATS OF PUERTO RICO?

    Just because you know two people who are not white (Gee wow I am underwhelmed) does not mean that there has not been inequity

    The OP title sounds as if president Trump is being blamed for the Hurricane Maria death toll. Not that it surprises me, seeing as he gets blamed for everything else!

    This is what the nation and the world watched leftists do for eight years under the Obama administration and are watching them TRYING to do the same thing today; but the transparently obvious political tactic mostly failed back then and is failing across the board today:

    Trump can only do so much when the locality is ran by corrupt leftist politicians.

    I could have played professional NBA or NFL if I wasn't white. Too bad I couldn't claim to be black back then.
