NO => New OrleansLand
gentrification means the cultural death of a city.
an acrylic, post modernist, dehumanized school of tought that, thankfully, has been abandoned by respected urbanist.

Not everything has to be The Gap and Walmarts.

what are we arguing about again?

well here's to all your amazing short-term no-think policies, sure casinos and walmarts will bring in some jobs for the poor, while you're there I guess we could offer the 'poor' jobs inside the rich people's houses, you know, to do the cleaning and serve them breakfast, hell, they could even live there (well, out the back in the stables at least), thinking about it, why dont we actually boost the economy by selling these people off to rich people, maybe corporations could just buy up a a bunch of them and give the money towards rebuilding the golf course?

does anyone have any idea how many natives of NO are currently employed by companies rebuilding NO, that seems like a good start for jobs, more so then minimum wage at a company. And onstruction/rebuiling jobs will be in high demand I'm sure for some time to come.

(Jan 17 06, 09:19)I could say the same thing to you.
Hell, I could say the same thing to a majority of the people in this thread.
How about we not assume.

(Jan 17 06, 09:14)Nice. Solutions are most often found in a dialog. The idea that I should not voice my ideas and opinions because I don't have a written out plan of action sounds like something Dick Cheney would propose.

Im not mad, that Question guy is a fucking douchebag, but i say that with a smile on my face.
Where's the jokes, funnyman ;)

Hey, its me again, the originator of this string:
It seems there have been huge misconceptions from every direction in regards to this post...
I don't really think anybody really understands whats goin on in New Orleans except for New Orleanians, much less the race issue in the Deep South. If somebody down there has posted a reasonable explanation, then I apologize - I don't have time to read through 127 messages.
Having relocated to Chicago, having lived in Denver, New York, Chicago, and New Orleans for 6 years, I will say this -
RACISM will never end. Accepting racism is something everyone in America must accept. It is a matter of realizing this and accepting not the cliché bullshit explanation of everyone's differences that we must embrace – It is the generalization, the stereotyping of people that everyone, in my opinion, must come to grips with.
Many of my friend are black, they act black, many of my friends are white, they act white. Kanye West sucks, Eminem sucks, Wu Tang rocks, Jet rocks. What else can i say?
Nagin blew it with his comments, he is not P-Funk and he has not place saying what he said.
That's that. Can we end this string, please?!?

i don't care what the mayor of new orleans says about his town, as long as nobody says anything bad about my hometown san antonio, aka, taco town!
- nutT0
my mayor is right. we do have a 'chocolate city'. And that is quite a funky thing to say!
if you don't live there and don't understand - then stay out of it and don't let it bother you.
ps.. you are prolly so white you wouldn't like new orleans.

(Jan 17 06, 09:26)No. I'm just glad you see that your and I both don't have the answer, so why would any of our debat be better than the others?
- todelete__20
what a wonderful thing to say nutT.
I've been to New Orleans 4 times now. Loved the city.
- rasko40
your policy is flawed k0na, if you had your way, 90% of the planet would be entertaining themselves with hobo-stabbing jokes every day of their lives.
- mnix210
yes, nutT. I am "prolly" so white I "wouldnt like new orleans."
what does that mean?!? how can you possibly claim to be from there with a statement like that? Pre AND Post-Katrina, New Orleans is a crazy mix of white, creole, cajun, black, and many others. Who are you? No response needed. I understand.
- JazX0
I've been to NO at least 6 times in my life. Calling it 'chocolate' might be some sort of NOLA colloquialism, but it sure makes him sound stupid.
