Houston, I Hardly Knew Ya
Does this ring true (h/t TNC)?
Houston took in tens of thousands of mostly poor and overwhelmingly African American refugees from Hurricane Katrina. Houston, a booming metro and emerging world city, rolled out the welcome mat for them – and for Latinos, Asians and other newcomers. They see these people as possessing talent worth having.
Hmmm. Not so sure about that welcome mat. Sure, many Houstonians stepped up and were great and we’ll always be thankful and humbled by their decency. By and large, though, it didn’t play out that way.
