And now, after Katrina, they've shut the
undamaged public housing down, (that
was built on the site of old Storyville) so
half of the black population of N.O. has
nowhere to come back to after the storm.
We think its a TRAGEDY, because the
"soul" of New Orleans was its black
heritage.

Storyville story true, but... they all just spread out all over the city, no way to regulate, and more disease as a result, Just the thing the Navy was trying to get rid of.

Great irony.

Besides an interesting subject if or if not Hollywood supported black artists and why they succeeded at last and got popular, they deceive it soo much, sooo great artists under them..

When the so called jews were ordered to leave the west bank, they refused and had to be physically removed by the army. But the subliminal message is that black people will just sing a sad song and move on and do as they are told. A total disregard of their recent past.

The author ought to be shot.
