Could you imagine the wholesale removal of white Americans from their
home and then taking them to destinations unknown? Doesn't this have a
familiar ring?   This is at the very least a form of cultural genocide.
New Orleans will not be New Orleans if its Black citizens are forcibly
dispersed.  The music, the food, the traditions will all die, and then
soon thereafter what after stage set recreation Halliburton puts up in
its place die too.  Then Disney will take over, sanitize everything and
America will have a Canal Street to rival Disney's Main Street.  But no
real people will ever live there.
