We just need to throw a big fricking net over the city and lock em all up or send them to the East and build a wall.

52% is probably a low ball. Drive around Central City for a day and you'll be thinking that number is far closer to 70%.

That demographic doesn't count. You want equity? How about doing away with Civil Service. City Hall already has equity. Everyone that works there is an equal opportunity slacker. Seriously, how is it that workers there can be that dumb, stupid, apathetic, and slow and not lose their damn jobs. How about starting to hold people accountable for their job performances? Then it would be equitable. If I had an employee that had the work ethic of city workers, their arse would be out the door.

14%.
Up to 44% black males
Surely you know the urban league is padding stats to make the black struggle seem worse than it even is .

Well you surely are not going to see those who are employed hanging out on the street. Drive through any fast food restaurant, go down to City Hall, go down to any city parish building, go down to any state parish building and you will mostly see black people working

Hey moron, unemployment only measures the percent of people who want a job who cannot get one

The hard truth is that if you have very little education in this day and age, you are practically unemployable. There isn't a jobs program, or affirmative active program that's gonna change that. You're just trapped.

Why? Because driving around one neighborhood paints a clear picture of employment in Orleans Parish?

5. "Cotton-Picking"
The phrase "are you out of your cotton-picking mind?" seems to have a serious racial overtone, particularly against black slaves in the Southern United States, who were the pickers of cotton for much of American history. Cotton-picking is usually used as a stand-in for "damn," to make it more socially acceptable than swearing (ironically enough). If you're not from the South, you may have heard the adjective "cotton-picking" for the first time from a Bugs Bunny cartoon from 1952.
There's yet another variety on the phrase: To call somebody a "cotton-picker" is undeniably, completely racist.
you are worse than hitler!
seriously you racist always unwittingly unmask yourselves eventually thanks for confirming what we've always known about you........

I'd venture a portion of that is the city's inconsistent police, DA, public defender and jail system too
I'm not saying every case is unfair and every conviction false but we sure do handle justice poorly and if you are the one unable to bail out or pleading guilty just to get it or... it sure does effect your job opportunities too (even if they weren't great by your own doing prior)

The published rates fluctuate from 44-52% since 2015 and those are people SEEKING a job
My SO lived in Central City for a year and a half, the amount of black
males from all ages walking around in jeans and a white t in the middle of the day or sitting around was staggering

If black males father babies they need to stand up and be MEN and be there for their kids! That is the problem in the black community across this country.

That is the root cause
The government has incentivized poor folk to have kids indiscriminately without keeping the nuclear family intact. This however, is off limits in the "conversation" the left wants to have. Instead, we beat our heads against the wall talking about "fixing" schools and the criminal justice system, full well knowing those are symptoms
And not the cause

This will end up changing absolutely nothing, because it is not intended to. It is nothing more than a white man telling black people the same old social justice bullshite in order to get their votes.
This problem cannot be solved by dividing people along racial lines and playing one against the other. It will take us (all) coming together for one common purpose. That will never happen as long as we let sociopathic politicians separate us while lining their own pockets. It is amazing to me how many intelligent people, both black and white, allow themselves to fall for the same old trick over and over again.

What does that statement about country clubs even mean??? Did the Landrieu family's favorite country club close?

My grandfather started out as a sharecropper and I myself as a very young kid pulled a cotton sack down some rows of his small cotton patch he came to own as my parents helped him catch up on his harvest as we visited at Thanksgiving. He never like mechanical pickers and a lot of cotton was still handpicked in the sixties.
I am not black.
BB King was proud of picking cotton

Translation: racial quotas.
