Best believe, New Orleans will never be the same for those who live there and those who love the city! The city, not just the Quarters! And, it's not really a Race thing, it's a Social Economics thing! New Orleans is majority poor black American but, it's also a melting pot!!! With that said, instead, of criticizing one another, let's pull together and help the cause!
I live on the outskirts of New Orleans and everything is not fine. It didn't just get a bad haircut. Many Lives were taken and so many have not just lost their homes. Many lost everything that they worked their whole lives for.Yes, items can be rebought, but so many are just too old to start again. Crime is so bad, so many have gotten out of this tired run-down city and have found it better outside and don't want to come back.
Was ticked off about the "little bubble Uptown" comment. No one in NOLA has time to be in a "bubble" in ANY part of the city. "Red hat guy" is absurd; the city is not fine. Only "Uptown" and the French Quarter are fine. Most of NO is the same or worse today. What we have is a LOT more serious than a "bad haircut that will grow back out". Recovery is not going to just "happen". It will take work and unity from the entire city. Even those in "Uptown".
Oh please. You sound like you just want something to bitch about. We are all in the same boat here. Just because the guy wasn't politically correct. Give me a break Kanye West.
Are you from the gulf coast? I wonder if you are sitting someplace up north and get all your info from two minute blurbs on cnn. If so, how about if you come down here and have a look around. You can find plenty of people of the color of your choice that need help from texas to alabama and parts of florida. Some places are fine, but it's like the greenery that hides the twisted trees back in the woods along the I 10
The guy in the red hat at the end sums it up best, several times: "those people." This is not an unbiased look. It's a bunch of white people talking over too-loud and somewhat inappropriate music. A bit more representation of the actual areas and people most affected would have been desirable. This gives a hands-off, third person, "those people" perspective instead. This makes it look like one street was demolished and everything else is just fine. Everything else is not just fine.
I'm trying right now to answer you without ranting. You didn't even listen to what the man said. He's *THERE* He's hasn't said a damn thing about race. He said those people and meant the ones who lived in the abandoned homes who haven't been able to get back. He was saying what "WE" need to do. UNITY.
"A bit more representation of the actual areas and people most affected" What is that supposed to mean? White people couldn't possibly have been affected because they weren't on cnn? Great. I'll go tell my neighbors their house didn't really get trashed becuase they're white and aren't in the lower ninth ward of NO.
GREAT JOB MAN. WHY IN THE HELL WE TROWING AWAY MONEY AND LIVES IN IRAC WHEN WE NEED TO REBUILD ARE OWN HOMES. "LITTLE BASTERD BUSH AND HIS GLOBALIS GREEDY PIGLETTS"!
