A Strategy to Gerrymander New Orleans?

This story from the bible of the rich, the Wall Street Journal, describes a vision for rebuilding New Orleans held by some residents who escaped the worst of the storm and levee breaks. Essentially, their vision of the future includes fewer poor and black citizens. After all, such people are so inconvenient after the beds are made and the floors are scrubbed. Surely there is no link between this kind of thinking and the federal foot-dragging we witnessed last week. That is the sort of talk that could make Kanye West paranoid.
