I totally agree that we are all in the same situation.  When someone needs help it shouldn't matter what color their skin is or what ethnic, social, or economic background they are.  When someone is hurting they need help regardless and until we "Americans" understand this, our nation will always be divided.  I know a lot of us "Americans" claim to believe in God and may have even read the bible a time or two.  Remeber that part that says "..a house divided against itself shall not stand."  This is yet another time when we should be coming together instead of pointing fingers.  You can always find something wrong when you search for it.

Racism proves nothing.  If I was violated by someone its not a "race" that performed a bad behavior.  Its an individual.  Katrina victims need our prayers and support.  I get prejudice all the time.  I am Jewish.  But I laugh ignorance off.  I can't tell anyone what to say or how to act.  Its up to me how I hear them.  And if what they're saying is useful.  Thats with anything I hear.  A person has a right to say whatever they want, but my right is what I do with it.  And if they're talking junk, I look at my feet to see if I'm wearing my sneakers to run away from angry mean people.
