Racism is the main reason why NBR has declined bottom line. White people are generally in control of the economy and they have by and large chose no longer to invest in NBR (or most of BR) due to once again the lack of whites in the area. Even the private predominately white schools in NBR (Redemptorist, St. Isadore, etc) are closed down, white people have totally abandoned the area. It just makes me laugh honestly b/c many of these white flight people claim to want to go to heaven one day .... apparently they believe heaven is full of only white people and Jesus is white which couldn't be farther from the truth. All ethnicities will be there and Jesus had olive skin and wool hair (man of color) but most of them will never find out b/c their evil sick racists.

It really saddens me to see only the affluent areas close to LSU growing ... I feel like the whole city suffers when only a very small portion of the city sees any type of commendable economic development and growth.

Racism did play a role, primarily in the location of the interstates and red-lining, but your post is nothing but one big troll.

No one wants to live in a violent crime infested area where they're not welcome. Just look back to that case of that poor white couple who were nearly beaten to death at a gas station by the airport because they were in the wrong neighborhood after dark. Those who can escape a place like that will.

This is just rediculous. Olive skin is Mediterranean, i.e. Jew that works outside with a damn Jew Fro. Jesus was a Jew in Israel, not black. Queen of Sheba was definitely a sista and King Soloman had that Jungle Fever.

Seriously? Without white people's tax money propping things up, you'd devolve into Zimbabwe even faster.

Gravy -
I'm going to let you in on a little well known secret...developers are going to follow and build where there are money, jobs, and growth. As much as you want it to be about race or poor, poor pitiful me, it's not. Again, they (rightfully so) will follow money, jobs, and growth to be successful.
