No offense but your post illustrates how little the average poster here understands black culture and race
I’m from Mississippi
It’s not been a mystery to us ever
Lived there, know the drill.
I had family in Pascagoula and in New Orleans. We’d drive down every year at Easter. So I’ve had a sample. Actually, everywhere we went, the Blacks in NOLA were very gracious back then. Then I spent a day there in the late ‘80s, I parked in the big parking lot next to the French Quarter. The elderly black attendant told me not to worry, he’d watch my car, which was jammed with luggage. When I got back, I chatted with him for a minute, saying I always wanted to live in NOLA>. He shook his head sadly, “Not anymore, mam. Wouldn’t be safe for you.”
What happened was, I thought, voting rights act, lousy stinking Democrats torquing around young black minds.
I also grew up in a Chicago suburb, and you could drive through black sections of the city then without fear. My dad employed many black people in his restaurants. I know this is ancient history, and I do have some idea what ghetto culture is today.....but what am I missing?
