The parade, which was proposed for July, would have fallen during hurricane season, which started June 1. Cantrell released a statement Monday evening saying that it would "places demands on our public safety resources in the middle of hurricane season."

“While I have the utmost respect for what Nyx has achieved as an all-women’s Carnival krewe, and I applaud them for their commitment to our children and our community —unfortunately I cannot support the addition of a summer parade,” Cantrell said an 81-word statement just after 10 p.m.



So did they announce this shite without running it past the mayor, first?

I’ve been telling y’all since day one, she’s a racist thug that hates white people especially white uptown women.


How is Essence Fest and Decadence Fest during Hurricane season not a strain on city resources but one parade is??

They had to apply for a permit and I guess with all the buzz it was getting she thought it was necessary to release a statement. Makes sense, no reason to shut down half the city for one hot arse night. There’s a few half way to Mardi Gras parade block parties in other neighborhoods of the city if you want to enjoy something like this.

Shut down half the city? Really?

More people come to nola for a preseason Saints game in August than would go to this parade.

She’d rather oppress the white women than lift up the black women

Well you have to shut down streets. Call in extra detail on top of the police we already have our patrolling. I guess you can do something like this that goes down Poydras from the river to the Dome.

It was the stupidest shite ever. I’m okay with the city saying, “no, we ain’t doing Mardi Gras in freaking July” no matter who’s asking.

Hate to break it to you, but a lot of Nyx is minorities. But carry on with your propaganda.

Frankly, I think the NOPD told her not to allow it.
