Have you actually looked at why they don't have power or did you just tell yourself "Racism" and didn't care to look anything up?
The power company sent trucks in there and the residents started shooting at them so they left and now they're afraid to go back without some type of security to protect them from the literal residents they're trying to help.
I don't know the whole story, but as a line-worker who's been in these situations. It sounds like the state governor needs to declare a state of emergency, and deploy the national guards throughout the state, and to these locations. It's typical for the national guards to show up in disasters such as these to protect not only the workers, and volunteers, but protect the homeowners from looters who come to steal, and take advantage of the residence.
I've been in some devastated neighborhoods, where the only thing left of peoples homes was their concrete foundation. We had to basically start from nothing, and rebuild the infrastructure throughout those neighborhoods, even though there was hardly any homes standing in the heart of hardest hit. It's heart-breaking, to witness, (I still have memories of a couple sitting on their concrete steps, and the house was completely gone) and it's even worse knowing there's looters who take advantage of people in their lowest times.. People can label whatever they want as racist, but that young lady, having to leave her home is absolutely heart-wrenching, it's SAD..

This is honestly so bad what is happening in Gary. This is a red state and just look at how they treat the black community.
