New Orleans isn’t the tourist draw it once was.
What was once a remarkably unique and awesome city is now a cesspool of crime and poverty.

The real reason the Essence attendance is down this year is due to its selling to an African owner a few years back. This African owner is aggressively promoting African culture over Black American culture
Essence Fest is produced by an LGBT group

Seems like Essence has lost Will Sutton
Was this before or after he finger wagged white people for shutting down their restaurants for the weekend?

No one goes to New Orleans in the summer unless they are a complete idiot.
It’s always been this way/ its the slow tourism season
You are very wrong about it not being the tourism draw that it always has been

In 2024, New Orleans welcomed a record-breaking 19 million visitors, marking a 6.4% increase compared to 2023. This milestone surpasses the previous high point since 2019, with total visitor spending reaching $10.4 billion, an 8.4% increase from the previous year. The city's tourism sector has demonstrated a strong recovery following the pandemic

Good Lord you’re retarded.
20mm visitors a year isn’t good enough for you?

Essence is a million times better than a bunch of racist rednecks in the city in July.
The majority of the country, Louisiana, or New Orleans. Because those can be 3 differing opinions, for sure.

Pretty douche/dumb move of the promoters to schedule it on fourth of July too. Hopefully this whole thing goes broke and discontinues if you ask me.

Yeah but why, could have easily been the week before or after and keep the 4th weekend central to Independence day celebrations in the city, etc.

Yeah, a group that cost restaurants money and has violence in tow is way better than whitey who will eat his entire meal with manners, politely say thank you and tip the server. All while minding their own business peacefully.
