RE Julio's suspicion: New Orleans, the city, which is made up of only Orleans Parish, IS majority black but like most chocolate cities, it is surrounded by "vanilla" suburbs in Jefferson and St. Bernard Parishes. Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish is majority white but when the press writes about it, it calls Chalmette "New Orleans" thereby adding to the confusion of non-New Orleanians and giving the wrong impression of the situation on the ground to displaced New Orleanians. There will be no progress, in NO or elsewhere, without truth and pragmatism. Conspiracy theories clog up the works, sometimes irrreparably. Look at black communities and AIDS.

Isn't the local power structure in N.O. black? Uh oh...I'm starting to get suspicious.
