We're going to lose ordsprog

en We're going to lose a lot of Black businesses, there's no doubt about that. We were suffering economically down here prior to the hurricane. Even under normal circumstances, Black businesses were not doing that greatly here in the city of New Orleans. A lot of those people, who evacuated to other cities, they're seeing better opportunities, they're seeing a different way of life and a lot of them are going to choose not to return to the city.

en New Orleans had devastation prior to the hurricane. We were warning them that the city was heading to catastrophe, but we got the hurricane instead. There is no economic base for black folks. They're supposed to wait tables for $5 an hour. And people are surprised there's poverty and rage?

en Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops - many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked. And it will be New Orleans - though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground.

en They started to evacuate the city and they evacuated the whites, but the planters got together and decided that if they evacuated the black sharecroppers, the labor force for much of the Mississippi Delta would disappear and would never return, and so they decided to keep them on the top of the levee and formed a camp for them for - stretched about 11 miles; thousands of people, many animals, and these people became almost slave labor. One of the great ironies - the great irony of all that is that Greenville, Mississippi, before the flood was easily ... the best city in the South to be a black person. You know, the Greenville public schools actually - while other Mississippi counties seriously debated whether they wanted to teach African-Americans to read - in Greenville, African-Americans were being taught Latin. And that was because of the elite, aristocratic planter class, who did feel a certain noblesse oblige toward their sharecroppers, but they didn't let that interfere with a fairly ruthless sense of dollars.

en Since the hurricane, there is a new 'normal' in Baton Rouge. We have become Louisiana's largest city. We went from 350,000 to 600,000 in a few days.

en It's not too much I can say about it but to say that it's a shame so many Black people have AIDS. It's tearing the Black community apart. It's terrible. New Orleans is one of my favorite cities. It's tragic that so many people have no where to live.

en The U.S. government took no precautions, knowing that New Orleans is a city below sea level. The government evacuated no one. How many thousands died that could have been evacuated by air, land or sea? Not one ship was mobilized, not one helicopter, before the hurricane.

en Of all the cities, Oklahoma City was the best geographical match in terms of travel for our teams. If the Hornets do well in Oklahoma City, we expect that they would not return economically hobbled.

en I don't believe our city should be opening up these businesses, whether it's because of a light rail relocation or not, ... This city isn't going to build its future on sexually oriented businesses. That's a false economy, and not one I'm going to rely on.
