New Orleans Only Daily Paper Now Defunct-Killed By A Region And City Full Of Illiterates

New Orleans public housing has experienced extraordinary segregation. Racial data from HUD's Resident Characteristics Report, as of March 31, 2008, of the 17,730 public housing units in New Orleans, indicate that 95% of the population in the Metropolitan Statistical Area is African American. Statewide figures for Louisiana's 26,637 public housing units show that 80% of the population is African American, compared with a 46% African American component of the entire nation's 1.9 million public housing units. source

THE NATIVE POPULATION OF NEW ORLEANS WAS DECIMATED BY KATRINA. EXACERBATING SKY HIGH CRIME RATES, WHEN NEW ORLEANS DESCENDED INTO THE HELL OF THE HURRICANES AFTERMATH, THE MAYHEM, LOOTING AND CHAOS SEALED THAT CITIES FATE FOR AT LEAST A CENTURY. ANY BRAIN TRUST THE REGION HAD, HAS SHRUNK TO A FEW POWER BROKERS, OLD ESTABLISHED FAMILIES, THE COLLEGIATE SYSTEM AND MEDICAL CENTERS IN THE CITY. WHEN KATRINA HIT, NEW ORLEANS WAS KILLED AND WILL REMAIN DEAD FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. WHAT IS LEFT IN THE REGION ARE SKY HIGH NUMBERS OF EXTREMELY POVERTY STRICKEN INDIVIDUALS WITH LITTLE OR NO EDUCATION WHO HAVE FEW SKILLS. THEY MIGHT GET BY ON AN SSI CHECK AND IF LUCKY? THEY LIVE IN SUBSIDIZED HOUSING. THESE ARE THE BLACK MASSES, ILLITERATE MAINLY, WHO MAKE UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE NEW ORLEANS METRO AREA. ILLITERATES DO NOT BUY OR READ NEWSPAPERS! THE HIGH NUMBER OF ILLITERATES THAT HAS DEVELOPED IN THE REGION IS THE FAULT OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN A CITY THAT IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING TO WEAR A BULLET PROOF VEST TO ATTEND SCHOOL THAN IT IS ABOUT LEARNING. GONE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS OF THE 20's,30's, 40's AND 50's WHEN NEW ORLEANS WAS AN ECONOMIC POWER TO BE RECKONED WITH. TODAY NEW ORLEANS REMAINS A MIGHTY SEAPORT, BUT THE CITY IS NOW INFESTATED WITH DRUGS AND CRIME AND AN OUT OF CONTROL UNDERCLASS THAT EXISTS MONTH TO MONTH ON THE PUBLIC DOLE. NOPE, THEY DON'T READ NEWSPAPERS. THEY PREFER TO REMAIN IGNORANT.
