I remember they made a public statement after the retired founder of Rouse's was photographed at the 1/6 Trump rally and they returned a $20k donation from Rouse's.

WDSU article
quote:

"The political views of the Rouses family are irrelevant in our decision making process. But, in the actions of yesterday, a line was crossed. A line was crossed by Mr. Trump and his supporters – including 1 Louisiana Senator and 5 Louisiana Congressional representatives. Every single American must now ask themselves where they stand. We stand with the people of New Orleans. "The Krewe of Red Beans will be returning $ 20,000 to Rouses Markets. $15,000 for a custom-designed “float house” as part of “Hire A Mardi Gras Artist”. And $ 5,000 which supported our Lundi Gras celebration."

As a north la poster that doesn’t understand all references in threads about New Orleans what is the context of “Bywater”. I’ve seen the word used multiple times. Is it a location in New Orleans?

They used to be hipsters and now they’re remote working tech dorks or mailbox money from the east coast

finding out he was living in slidell was the funniest shite ever



Almost as funny as how he ran off to LA but still gets involved in petty NOLA BS. He is still butt hurt his video game program got shut down. Dude has incredibly thinned skin.

I have heard the Red Beans guy is a weirdo but not a thief.

Now there’s a story that I would be interested to know more details about.


IIRC JD’s version of events was that the landlord or whatever just came in and seized all their shite and kicked them out with no notice and for no reason. There is 0.0% chance that is how it went down, but JD won’t tell the full story.


He wants people to believe his nonprofit bought or received as donations all that equipment, signed a lease and adhered to the terms and conditions of said lease and then randomly the Landlord woke up one day and stole all his shite? And his response was a couple of posts on social media followed by him leaving town?


Yea man definitely 100% believable those damn oppressors just couldn’t handle seeing black success lmao.

Not related but I’m tired of people acting like gaming is a legit hobby or something that should be in schools/gov programs

I like playing some video games but it’s not like building courts, gyms, parks, labs, etc. whatsoever

I think the space was donated and the school/gov't building decided to use it for something else. The fact that so little info was provided made seem like he messed up somewhere in the process.

I liked him when he was covering the city counsel and city gov't. Now he just looks for stuff he can make a snarky post about something being racist.

What about the Reggie Art guy? He's always tag teaming on stories with JD Carrere. What's Reggie Art's story? He seems like a racist grifter too.

Id be willing to bet he stood in line and voted for Latoya Cantrell.

Fun may act like a conservative, but hes secretly a biden supporter.


Or he will say something like, but there were no better candidates.

that video of byron cole cursing out the white lady who pulled up her dress is a great illustration of this.


Was this when a street party was going on and they put up a barrier? Then a tiny little Yankee MILF in a mini skirt lifted it and mooned him with a cute little arse? 5 years ago or so
