its not, its a money thing damn it!!
You are obviously not from New Orleans. Lakeview, Mid-City, Gentilly were not the black ghettoes that you are making them out to be. Lakeview was by
my own estimate (not scientific) 90% caucasian and Lakeview was more than definitely people that were middle to middle-upper class. Mid-City was
probably the most mixed of all races, and though there were some families that may have lived in squalor, still not a poor area. Gentilly would be the
one that I would say may have been more a majority black, but still it was middle class families.
Sorry I get very upset when I hear how blacks and whites dont get along.. its not the color of our skin, its the size of our bank
accounts!!!
Once again, I am betting you are
not from New Orleans, because though there may be pockets of this (I could lay it out on a
map if you so choose), the majority of the city doesn't operate that way. There were poor and labor-class families in the lower 9th ward too, it was
mixed there. Fats Domino and NFL players are still living in their homes, and I promise you, there are no gated communities in the ninth ward. Also in
the lower 9th, 60 percent of the homes are owner-occupied.
Gezzz this whole time its been about money, not about race.. Blacks where not the only slaves in history.. its always the poorest or the poor
who are slaves.. Color is just to blind you from the truth of what sertinly classes have programmed you with and fooled you from the
start...
It's about money, but I don't think it's about money in the way you are putting it.
