Default Hurricane lottery

Hypothetically, it looks like Rita will be knocking on Galveston's door.

Given that Galveston is a predominantly white population, who'll be the first political opportunist to suggest that the pro-active Federal response to this disaster - irrespective of the benefits of hindsight - is evidence of an administration that is inherently racist?

Furthermore, (and this is a genuine question) is there sufficient number of people willing to listen to this to cause civil unrest?
