People were saying that NOLA was being gentrified like crazy and returning to majority white and middle class which at some point in the 2010s it did feel that way but all that has changed.

The latest census is showing the city experiencing a huge drop in its white population who make up most of the city's middle class after having the fastest growth in the 2010s. The white population had the largest dropped compared to everybody else. Those hipster white liberals started to feel the consequences of their shitty voting habits and said "NO MORE!"

So yes New Orleans is going back go the hell hole it was before Katrina. And people always say the crime in the crack era was worse but it wasn't ... most of that crime was concentrated in a few areas and also New Orleans was still a growing thriving city back then with a lot of jobs that paid a livable wage. Today crime is EVERYWHERE (even the good parts) and it's not a growing thriving city anymore b/c very few jobs pay a livable wage so you know what that means? Yep, more crime, more homelessness, and more rampant degenerate behavior destroying the city

Of course the wealthy Mardi Gras ball families who run the city are not going anywhere but as far as the city attracting more desirable new residents regardless of race who can help save the city ... yeah I don't see that happening anymore.

But I think the difference is the black kids never feel loved. Whereas the white/Hispanic families pretend to be a family sometimes, or maybe they even try. But that black child never feels wanted. I’m not sure, I’m not a psychologist but I think it goes deeper than just being beat.

I agree with this. Regardless of race and income level, the vast majority had problematic childhoods but again its much worse in black households. Again non-black households are not nearly as violent ... that really creates stronger demons in kids

I grew up in the black community, trust me it's bad and it's only gotten worse. The most unsafe place for a black child is a black household ... he or she would be better off in a white household.

I'm black but I don't identify with the black community. I try my best to avoid them now

What have you seen that made you think things were going to get better?

I thought Obama getting elected in 2008 and the 2020 protests were gonna be a positive change in the black community but it only made things worse.

These people are hopeless, only a handful % will make it

They know who killed who on a lot of the murders. What happens is the gunman ends up getting gunned down himself and the cycle continues.

Street justice sometimes take care of it but the other times they run to Houston, Dallas, or Atlanta to hide out

Yeah but Im gonna assume the killers are black until confirmed they not.

I predict in 15-20 years you will see white flight occurring in St. George at a pretty steady rate, much like it has in many parts of Baton Rouge in the last 50 year.

I disagree. We'll see the opposite.

Is it broken or are you unhappy with it?

I’ve had mine since about 2015 and it still does fine. It’s not too of the line at all (cost maybe $300 at the time).

But I also don’t care about upgrading something just because someone else thinks I should either.

No it's not broken but I do have connectivity issues ocassionally. But it's an easy fix. Just a simple techno refresh. And it looks new, I keep it clean and shiney. It's a Sony Dolby

LSU is headed in this direction.

When they still have not posted common data set for fall 2025 freshman or the Spring 2026 enrollment at a glance numbers you can bet the % of the new fall 2025 freshman submitting ACTs dropped even lower and the demographics of the undergraduates on campus in the Spring got less white than the fall numbers were.

That increase in application submissions for this fall is likely to be mostly made up of blacks hoping to get scholarships based on inflated grades while ACTs still not required for anyone. This class is still basically Tate’s with a lot offers placed before new leaders started.

LSU had done irreparable damage removing ACT all those years. That created a negative repuation that's hard to shake off with simply reimplementing the ACT. LSU is gonna be forced to cater to a problematic student body to keep their numbers up and university running. But it's gonna be disguised as DEI and equity

UNO is not really that diverse. It's diverse on paper but socially and culturally it's a HBCU. Look at the cheer team and their SGA team ...

UNO was once a respected state institution but now it's a joke

This year was mild compared to 2025. But the foolishness that happens on Juneteenth is befitting
