SOME Louisianians.
Example.One of my classes back in the Seventies had three girls that were pregnant and most likely went on welfare.
I had another who became a paralegal for a big NY law firm,another who became President of Southern in New Orleans and later became an attorney.Several others got athletic scholarships to various black colleges.
During my entire time down there,I think I had THREE racially motivated remarks directed at me from black kids in my school.Some of the BLACK teachers had a much rougher time with the kids than I did,including one who was ambushed at the school with a shotgun.
You simply can't put all the poor folks in New Orleans into one bag.Some do right,some screw up and most just slog through life trying to make it the best they can.

You are creating a straw man argument. Until you respond honestly and intelligently to what I actually wrote, I will waste no more time on you.
