I'm actually glad you said that
New Orleans is 65-75% black...
So yes , it can look like one side is committing attrocities and murder. I really don't understand it myself. I would have never guessed that MY town would resort to such actions , I feel that those people are few in number and will be stopped soon as the heavy armor get in there.
History Lesson
Edwin Edwards was the Gov of LA. He has been notorious for squezzing the life blood out of that area to line his own pockets. People have been left for dead long before this day. The system of "justice" is all about money. people get DUI's and you can "grease" the right hands and it like it never happened. A possession charge is supposed to be a life long thing , but not in that area. The main problem is and has always been $$$ Now that problem is coming out like lights on a christmas tree. Anyway mr Edwards is now in jail for in money laundering efforts. The owner of the SF 49'ers Eddie Debartalow is also in trouble for this same action. He owns a building right next to the Superdown called "the new orleans center" it's a red building with the words "Dominion" on it as they are an It firm in the building as well. But it's almost a good thing that this happened becuase this crippling and stifling politics only leaves the porrest out of the picture. The poorest are those black folks who have been hurt the most by these politicans and political schemes to rob the area of economic opportunity.
So on the front it looks like a race issue when really it's a class issue. The poorest are affected the most , so they can leave town, they can't find food or water, and then they get shot be people who are trying to make a point because of the writing I have posted above. The problem with this very silly thread is that it makes no attempt to lok into Louisiana politics of politicians or the economic crisis that has been New Orleans for years before this event. You see black and white and make a very stupid assumption that this is a race issue. mainly because your young and conservative...
If you
1. know nothing about the area
2. know nothing about the history of the area
3. know no names of the people who have formed and shaped the area
4. know nome of the current "big players" of that area
Just STFU, cause your talking out of your ass
