re: Will Covid-19/Civil Unrest Finally Finish NOLA?

I agree the Civil Unrest wasn't bad in NOLA this time around but with the city being majority black we all know that NOLA is still a Civil Rights powderkeg waiting to happen. To me that very much holds the city back.

Are you from NOLA?

NOLA has, very possibly, the BEST race relations of any majority-black city in the country. People of all colors know how to live together here. You don't have the racism that you see in cities that are majority white but have a large black population. And there are enough white people who live here, and who will continue to live here, to avoid the radical black power that places like Jackson, MS have to deal with.

Remember, pulling down 4 statues was caused by a WHITE man with white guilt. Most black residents here could have cared less. And despite having an outsider black mayor, there's barely any real talk about taking down any more statues. A few street names may be changed, sure, but that's hardly a powder keg.
