It is a shame what is happening to New Orleans right now

[I AM WE ARE]

I mean it was built on lies and criminals. They said it was the land of milk and honey but when people got there it was nothing but swamps. Then they decided to use it to send criminals to. Not to mention the symbol of the city (the fleur de lis) was what they branded slaves with so if they got away or stolen, people knew where they came from. I love my city but it probably is cursed.

The fleur-de-lis was used to brand slaves, like cattle, as discipline for attempting to escape. The practice took place not just in Louisiana, but French settlements around the world. The symbol was branded on slaves so if they did escape, there would be no mistaking to whom they belonged.
Yeah I remember this because they wanted to change Saints helmet

Y'all don't think y'all need aid(money to fix your houses/money to get a place to stay, food, generators, etc)?

They just buy the land from elderly, poor etc. They make sure the wealthy and connected have a place to live.

That symbol is so iconic yet so evil at the same time.

That symbol is so dope yet so evil at the same time.

Catholic church tried to claim it as a symbol to God choosing the new King

What's crazy is I learned this in school and ever since then I've always wondered why is it the most used symbol in the city.

That's like using a black cat standing on a broken mirror under a ladder indoors with an umbrella open as a logo. shyt has no choice but to be bad luck.

Coastal elites will be moving inland soon enough. Only a matter of time.

The city is sinking, sea level is rising, the coastlines are eroding.

Breh, you can't fight the earth.

You thinking like arrogant white ppl now thinking you can stop the earth from doing what it does.

New Orleans was made by the Earth movements, and it continues to move until it morphs into something else.

NO shouldn't have even been built...you need marshland to stay uninhabited to naturally soak water during floods

So what is the solution? What is the outlook on the city in the next 150 years?

 

[Yaboysix]

NFL gotta let the Saints win the Super Bowl and NBA the Pelicans so we can generate the revenue to save our city.

The solution is move and let nature take its course.

If sea levels are rising, how long do you think until it’s not sustainable to have a coastal city below sea level?

I'm thinking about moving to New Orleans. Builld me a nice hurricane proof house. Seafood and redbones

They will shrink the city eventually into just a tourist section and wealthy elites.

otherwise it’s going to become a new marshland for Central Lousiana
