    The proof can be glaring them in the eye, and they'll still say it's bs. So, I guess all of the people in the video made all of this up? I didn't need to see this to know what happened. I can see the effects with my own two eyes.

      In the 30s and 40s it was more likely for blacks to have a 2 parent home than whites . In other words there were more white people with one parent than there were blacks with one parent.

    I don't think the Civil War should have been fought in the first place. Irish labor was cheaper than Slave labor, and the industrial revolution had already started. Follow the money, who really benefited from the war, the Blacks, ... No. ... How about the Rich White Capitalist in the North? By 1875 slave labor would not have been economically feasible. Blacks and white would have just formed bonds like we had before the war.

      How cheap is a labor that is cheaper than “ free “ ( slave labor ) because I was unaware that is it anything lower paid than free at that point of the Irish people would be paying to work

      @@cadillaccap5482 True Facts: 1: first example, Canal Street New Orleans. When the work started to dig the canal, slaves were used, but too many of them were becoming sick from mosquitoes. Slaves were an investment and that the project switched to Irish people because they only needed to be paid if they completed the work, No investment from buying them. 2: The first true Light Bulb was invented in 1854, and Menlo Park, New Jersey was using electrical light in 1879. ... Again, the industrial revolution was just a few years away, and Black people would have been better with out the War that divided all of us. 3: Other people from the North benefited from the War, and Black people, North and South were not the ones what benefited.

      @@bryanaveri6816 1st off there was never a actual canal on canal street a colonial plans call for it one was never made so with this actually FACT being said your whole point is wrong and makes no sense
      2nd the south made money off slave labor and the production of slaves themselves from agriculture to manufacturing to building homes and the White House and child care and domestic work with the south having all this free labor and making money the north needed to take that away and that’s what broke the south and made a great % of the whites poor whites
      Irish got paid meaning they can’t be cheaper then free show me one thing u can buy that is less than free

    The part about white flight is very real. 70% of New Orleans was white in 1950, the vast majority of which were native-born New Orleanians. Just before Katrina in 2005, nearly 70% of New Orleans was black. A complete reversal of demographics in just 50 years, completely flipped. That’s outrageous.
    Something they didn’t touch on in this video too, black migration into the city is also very real as many blacks came from outside of the city and outside of the New Orleans area and moved into New Orleans largely after 1968 when blacks were allowed to move into white neighborhoods. This contributed heavily to the cause of the white flight since whites were interested in retaining the white demographic of most of the neighborhoods in New Orleans, the same how blacks in New Orleans today want to retain the black demographic in those same neighborhoods that were previously white neighborhoods decades ago.
    Now gentrification is setting in and more and more whites are moving into the city as time goes on, but this time they are not native-born New Orleanians like before but are from outside of the New Orleans area and often from other states. New Orleans is moving toward a white majority again and it will intensify in the coming years when many native-born whites in the suburbs feel the city is “white enough again” to move back into in large numbers. There is also another phenomenon happening at the same time where blacks in New Orleans are moving to the surrounding suburbs in much the same way New Orleans whites did decades ago.

    New Orleans has had two Republican mayors, both during Reconstruction. The last one left office 150 years ago.
    If you want different leadership, you have to vote differently.

    I was unaware of how these lines work and were drawn. This is a very good strategy to use when investing in property. Never used it before but now I will not only look at flood maps I'll look at these maps as well. Banks and insurance companies do so if they charge more then you must charge more. If you know that neighborhood can't afford to pay their rent then naturally don't invest there. Then abandon buildings and homes are 5%. Crime and fires because homeless are trying to keep warm. Insurance goes up more people leave . Did I mention what color these people are? This has nothing to do with color has to do with behavior. Money talks and the rest of that walks.
