Yeah New Orleans street trash/thugs seem very hostile toward out of towners(in particular fellow blacks) whom visit their rat holes/ hoods....I know of atleast 3 unproved murders of transplants in the city whom made the mistake of venturing or working in NO slums within the last year...Recently one young brother from my hometown whom attended UNO was gunned down in his vehicle by a 16 yr old shythead gang banger supposedly visiting while visiting chick in the East(which I thought was a decent section of the city)
New Olreans ghettos are infested with

animals whom been well trained by whitey to attack/prey on the righteous and vulnerable brothers/sisters trying to do better for themselves/lift up the community..I wouldn't go to any NO crime ridden area without reason or protection..
My lil cousin and her family actualy chose to move from the suburbs(St. Tammany Parish) to the city proper last year so if they survive and don't decide to move againI might have to get them to show me around soon...Last time I went down as right before Katrina......Didn't stay long but Bourban street seemd overrated...UNO campus had a few broads though.
