re: Half-Moon plans to solve social inequality in New Orleans

How do some white people become such miserable pieces of shite? This a-hole was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and so the salve for his guilt is to frick over lower class whites. I can assure you a landrieu will NEVER lose out on a job in Louisiana to promote "diversity". He'll just volunteer white kids from the trailer park for that.

If I wasn't white the searing hatred I have for the type of white person landrieu is would be classified as racist.

See: "white guilt", especially as it pertains to how Liberals see government as the great equalizer.

I can see it now-



First; it starts with an internal city governance overhaul to increase diversity.

Second; the city starts pumping more money into the "disadvantaged" groups and locations.

Third; they start cutting services and funding to the non-minority areas, followed soon by cutting back on police presence.

Lastly; they threaten to take action against these "privileged" clubs/groups/businesses by way of fines, taxes, and cessation of public services (like water, sewer, trash, electrical services).



I'm actually a little surprised it took them this long to go down this route.

The phrase "are you out of your cotton-picking mind?" seems
to have a serious racial overtone

'SEEMs to have' is the operative phrase in your post. I have used that phrase all my life and I can promise you that not ONE time did I ever intend any kind of racial intent - nor was ever aware that it could be even considered racist.

I myself picked cotton as a kid back in the 50's. Never once did I think of blacks while I was doing it. I was just a very hard job and was mostly done in very hot weather.

You people who look at FACTs and consider that a TRUTH can be 'racist' piss me off to no end. Slavery was a FACT. Slavery ended over 150 years ago = also a FACT. Nobody alive today even has a great grandfather who was a slave.

Since the FACT that slavery existed cannot be erased, you think you can propagate the 'whites = slavers' meme for all eternity. bullshite - give it up. We are not racists. The only people I genuinely HATE are the idiots who continue to promote this hysteria of "everything we can think of is racist." You assclowns can die in a fire as far as I am concerned.

If you want to help blacks, you need to counsel them to stop believing their 'leadership' who are the ones keeping them on the plantation, harvesting them only for their voting power and using them as pawns in their ungodly quest for absolute power.

Help blacks reestablish two parent families. Help them develop a responsible work ethic. Help them value education. Help them become self-sufficient and consider welfare handouts to be shameful rather than a goal. And by "them" I mean those who are now trapped in the dysfunctional culture that they have been driven into by their DIM/LIB masters.

I loved Martin Luther King's message - 'judge a man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin."

THAT is the ONLY message that 'civil rights' activists ought to be delivering.

Point out real abuses when they occur, and you will have absolute conservative support. Dilute those occurrences with myriads of trivial 'outrages' every time someone speaks without all the ivory tower PC filters and you will continue to get reactions like this from well-meaning people.

Just stop it - and try to be honest with yourself.

About 5 or 6 years ago, I had to go down to City Hall. I wound up walking down two hallways on two floor. In total, I saw 50-60 people.

Let's just say, I felt like the proverbial turd in the punch bowl as I was the only white person I saw that day in the building.

Anytime I've gotten a traffic ticket I've always just paid it ahead of time and avoided going to court (white privilege I guess ).

Except one time about 8-9 years ago I decided to just go down there and see if I couldn't calmly and professionally discuss the situation with the prosecutor. Boy was that an experience. I get that it is only traffic Court and that not everyone owns or can afford a suit (I was in one), but I think that everyone should still make an effort to look presentable no matter what your ethnicity - especially if you're going to attempt to negotiate with a lawyer/judge that can decide your fate.

That was the first time that I saw a cross dresser in a professional setting. Several people actually had their incorrigible children with them. A number of them looked like they hadn't showered recently and were wearing dirty clothes. They were all, every single one, of a particular ethnic group (I'm sure you can guess which one).

Until then I had always viewed the courthouse as a place with an aura of prestige, of high decorum and of reverence. I was obviously in the minority with that opinion.

What kind of mentality does it take to show up before a government official like a prosecutor or a judge and display zero respect for the office? What level of entitlement do you have to feel you're owed to show up to court after you've broken the law and present the attitude that they are the ones with the problem?



Paul Harvey's Rest of the Story: I said "sir/ma'am" to everyone I encountered. I presented myslef in a calm and dignified manner. I respected the authority of the judiciary. ... The A.D.A. said "why don't you just have a nice weekend sir," and let me walk out without so much as a chiding.

Your post is spot on regarding respect for the courts, which is symbolic of the level of respect for any authority. It's fine if you don't want to kiss people's asses, but a level of decorum and respect goes a long way. Traffic court is not always about criminal procedure and the law. Show up in decent clothes, don't act contemptuous, and probably you'll get the break you want.
