Let's try to attract people to NBR by throwing a parade tailored to only NBR people complete with advertised free government handouts.

Like you implied, it's a way for someone to get their hands on that redevelopment money. They'll take some money out of that, at most 40% of it will go to set up the parade and the rest goes in someone's pocket.

What is with the love for a fictional country?



No more different than the fictional Bacchus, Comus ,Orpheus ,Endymion ,Proteus ,etc......

It's all in good humor ,I thought?

Yes. Wakanda is exactly the same as ancient Greek mythology.

These people can't run a small, shitty university without blatant corruption and incompetence much less a city the size of BR. Hell, I'd bet this parade will be a shitshow because people will demand to be paid for helping set it up. There are reasons why Spanish Town is successful.

And you think starting a Mardi Gras parade is the way to go to achieve that?

Gravy did once say Wakanda and Zamunda are great examples of what African cities would look like had it not been for slavery.

How can we drive tourism in North BR?

Well, we could improve infrastructure, actively work to reduce crime, rejuvenate business in the area, and promote a healthy business and leisure attitude in the area

Nah, frick it. Let's do a parade targeted at only black people.

I don’t believe Ethiopia got enslaved. Look at how that worked out for them.

Ancient " MYTH" ology . Fantasy. bullshite. Completely unoriginal like Wakanda.


I didn't know drunken revellers/ Mardi Gras parades needed the gravitas of ancient fantasies.

Are you really going to act oblivious to the cultural and linguistic influence and overall shaping of our world that was a result of Greek and Roman mythology? What planet in our solar system is named after wakanda? Which day of the week?

You can't be serious with this comparison.
