How long until Rex and Comus are on the clock?

I read up on Ellie Kemper getting cancelled and this Veiled Prophet Ball thing in St. Louis seems like Rex and Comus to me, as they both involve all white city elites dressing up in costumes and going to a ball. When someone “exposes” the “racist” origins of these krewes, I’m wondering how long they’ll last in the Chocolate City. I doubt they make it to 2030.

I'm surprised they've lasted this long. Although they might fall under the category of rich and well connected enough to be untouchable

Rex will probably admit a few choice minorities to sure up its civic body pretension.
Comus will publicly ignore everyone who asks and privately tell everyone to get f’d.

That's the funny thing about many of these "old line" carnival organizations, the only people associated with them who are typically ever publicly disclosed are the young women who comprise the "Courts" each year. So, they will be the only ones with any risk of being "canceled" later in life.
Rex is a bit more public, which is why they seem to be the only one that has opened up a bit more, but based on this deal with this actress from St. Louis, apparently that doesn't even quite matter.

I dont know about any recent controversy, but I will say that REX is more open than any other old line organization.
People can and do gain membership in REX based on philanthropic activities in the community. It is a pretty active organization. Rex has African American members. Not sure if any of them ride.
Comus is not open at all.

Comus is already off the clock in any public way.
Rex has already dealt with some of this stuff, but may have to again.
Thing is, as much as we're told that the black politicians run New Orleans, the oldline, white "Uptown crowd" still holds a lot of power in the city. Latoya is not going after them. No viable black politicians will really go after them. Nagin kinda sorta did in one speech back in the day and look how he ended up: in jail.
The local media never touches them.
Truth is, much of their incompetence and apathy is what killed the city. Unlike their predecessors, who had national clout running a major global port city, these turkeys seem content maintaining their pitiful illusions that they actually matter to anyone outside New Orleans city limits while playing a big role in the city's downfall.
Inside Orleans Parish, though, they are still a powerful players. Tiny fish in a microscopic pond.
It would take outsiders who don't give a shite about them or social/political status within New Orleans. I would love to see it happen, frankly. Most of that has-been faction are part of the woke movement anyway. They've been given the rope to hang themselves with for several decades now. Time is ripe.

Sure. Cancel everything that's fun and/or provides value.
They are trying to cancel gas cooktops in the other thread.

My bet is that one of the girls will take it down from the inside. One rich, liberal college girl or past debutante will have a guilty moment or want to get back at her parents somehow. Just my bet.

The same can be said about private country clubs, etc. They won’t get cancelled. They’re all very private and keep it that way for a reason.

We already banned Rex but is there a liberal poster named Comus I don’t know about?

I had a conversation a few years back with a pretty well off lawyer living in a huge house on Napoleon St...gist of the conversation was that the system that promised jobs to the children of what I refer to as Comusites is dying and these children are having to leave NOLA to find work...
Over the years I've gotten into a few arguments on this board about how Comus is dying because they won't let new blood in...
I know I'm not the only one glad they're not parading anymore, it was really a crappy parade with very few marching units and cheap arse members who didn't throw much of anything...my guess is that an Endymion rider throws more on a block than they did for the whole parade...

That ship sailed around the time of the oil boom when Houston capitalized in luring so much of the business in large part because of this silliness. There were certainly other factors as well, but this played some part.

They already have. There is a black lieutenant right now. And other black members.
