NOLA Mayor: Civil War Monuments Caused a ‘Great Migration’ Out of the City ("Best and Brightest")
Breitbart ^ | 5-19-2017 | John Binder

Posted on 05/20/2017 9:37:17 AM PDT by brucedickinson

“The cultural and economic and the spiritual loss to this city for having those statues up that have run people out of the city,” Landrieu claimed. “The great migration that sent some of our best and brightest to places across the country that we don’t have the benefit of has been incredible.”

You can’t make this crap up!

They relocated entire ghettos from NOLA to Houston after Katrina, and look how it spiked Houston crime rates.

You can always count on a commie RAT to lie about anything.

Since liberalism is a mental disease, it is a darn shame we cant design a virus to infect it so they call die off or go into comas.

If true, just indicates how many ignorant people we have in America.

The guy is incredible. I would never be able to keep a straight face saying that.

Following the Costanza method, I guess.

("Best and Brightest")

The best and brightest to pass through New Orleans in the past century have been the tourists from outside that mistakenly visited to see some history.

When VERMIN take over a town, city, state or nation, constructive, productive, law abiding citizens flee to safer and more “American” patriotic “safe zones.”

The sad part is that the viral disease known as liberalism keeps on rotting America down to it’s core with no abatement in sight. Reward and punishment does not exist in those enclaves of spoiled brats doing what they want, when they want, how they want and totally without the bonds of any sign of personal responsibility of one’s own actions.

I don’t see how we will ever turn it around for discipline and responsibility are no longer in our “enlightened” society. It can only get worse from here on.......

"I hope they improved their LEVEES. They didn’t pass the muster during KATRINA that’s for sure."

Yes, actually they have. The Katrina-era levee that failed was built as a compromise as to what the city would accept, and what the Corps of Engineers recommended. And the difference is exactly what caused the levee failure(s). IOW, the residents of NO "did it to themselves".

The Landrieu Family. The Southern version of the Cuomo Family.

Hooray! No more racism!!!

And now that our past is ceasing to exist we can forget all about that “reparations for slavery” stuff!

You nailed it!!!.......but it ain’t gonna happen......I think it was someone on here that said they’re removing all things Civil War and the old South so the Demonrats names won’t be coming up as being responsible for all this carnage and REAL racism.....Civil War, KKK, Jim Crow.

Another “dead from the neck up” politician. Needs to have his head examined for cracks and other deficiencies. What a horse’s ass!

So Katrina flooding and the former mayor, now criminal, Nagrin stating NOLA was a chocolate city, had nothing to do with it ? Yeah. That’s the ticket. Ignore the black racist and criminal mayor who intentionally forced his people to remain in the flooding city.

Can the average Democrat even tell the difference between a statue depicting a civil war era individual and one depicting an individual from the War of 1812 or even World War 1? I highly doubt it.

One of the more famous Mardi Gras organizations, the Zulu Aid and Pleasure Club, is for all purposes a racially-segregated group that only allows white people (celebrities, mostly) to ride in its parade *in blackface*. Strangely, this group's parade route (which is notorious for meandering past members' family homes and such) has passed through Lee Circle every year for as long as I can remember. Nobody seemed to be offended by the General's statue.

BS OVER TAXATION AND CRIME ARE THE MAJOR CAUSES. NO JOBS ANOTHER. It is the pattern in any large city that is Dem especially Black Dem controlled. Same for Memphis, it’s lost 10K or more in Black population to MS, AK, and the next 3 counties in West TN. Hispanic’s are taking over in greater Illegal and refugee numbers. Whites are the MINORITY in those cities behind gated communities with armed guards.

And they take their shopping with them, Whites that are still left don’t shop in the Memphis to any extent, to dangerous. Some neighborhoods you don’t go into any time of day or night, not even ARMED!

And you know what, they are nice people, good neighbors for the most part. You have a few trouble makers, but that is normal for any population.

Yep, it was the Confederate monuments that caused Detroit and Gary to lose their best and brightest, too.

There should be a “STUPIDEST MAYOR IN THE COUNTRY” contest with write ups on each entry. Amoung New York City, Baltimore, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, LA, San Fran, and a dozen others. Write ups should be posted on FR, and votes counted with the winner awarded a special prize...like a bronzed inner-city garbage can.

Depends on how he feels on a particular day. He’s a dem so it’s probably a fluid situation

I think white-guilt liberals are as big a threat as Demonrats in general. You’re so right in your comparison.

Democrats lie, lie, lie and their stupid base just eats it up.
