Maybe I just live in my own naive, rose-colored glasses world, but I'd like to think that the reasons have a lot more to do with the situation (completely destroyed infrastructure, especially communication) and the lack of ability to move around competently. It's not "we don't want to rush to help them because they're black", it's "we can't talk to our people once they've left Texas but we've heard that all the major ways into the city are washed out".
