“The building of the Claiborne Expressway had a devastating social, economic, traumatic, and environmental impact on Black families in New Orleans, including some of my own elders from the 7th Ward,” Peterson said in an email.


This is why people don't take shite like this seriously. Traumatic?? Your "elders" probably looked at the overpass and said "frick that road" then moved on with their lives because they weren't giant pussies and now you're claiming they were traumatized.

Give me a break.

It’s just a big ‘feel good’ tactic. They feel like tearing down the interstate and the local population will immediately clean itself up and make viable business all around there catering to the increased traffic, the problem still lies in the people. Viable business likely will arise, but it’s not going to be from the local people with no drive, vision, or CAPITAL.

Maybe they’ll get jobs on the road crew since they can walk to work and transition that money earned to opening up boutique stores and sustainable restaurants, but I’m not holding my breathe.

CRT is a fabricated fairy tale with no scientific basis. It's a window lickers wet dream.

This is what's crazy. It was built in the 60s. But nothing else traumatic has happened since then or you couldnt just move if you hated it that much.
