It’s no secret that a lot of trash talk goes on in New Orleans (*cough* chocolate city *cough*), and it is also no secret that so much of it is generated by the political class. Now Bayou St.John David is talking some serious trash, and once again that walking id of a Mayor seems to be in the middle of it.

Take a moment and head over to Moldy City where David asks:

Perhaps we should ask the SCLC why Richards Disposal is offering predominantly white Jefferson Parish a significantly lower price today than it negotiated with predominantly black Orleans Parish two years ago?

It’s an important question, and he has volumes to say on the matter.

This has been a HumidCity homework assignment. End transmission.

An excellent examination of the context of our recent election and the “race,” card. Da Po’ Blog post gives a lot of context, including the white flight that made us “Chocolate City,” in the first place. Required reading!

If this election was about race, it was about racial preservation. The existence of an African-American culture in New Orleans is endangered. Not just African-American political power.

I felt Landrieu was the better administrator of the two candidates, better suited to control the everyday activities of a municipal government. But, if we really want all New Orleanians to return, then reelecting Nagin sends that message.

Need I remind anyone that African American culture is reesponsible for most all of the music you listen to, either directly or as an antecendent?
