What Do You HONESTLY Think of New Orleans and its Residents?

Question

I seen this in the NOLA section, thought it'd get more unbiased answers here.

What do you think and if possible, why?

Answer 1

I saw who they really were when they started to vandalize, steal, beat, and rape people in the streets after the hurricane.

Response to your edit: of course I'm not saying that EVERYONE did those things, but you've got to admit that A LOT of people acted like animals. You don't think so? That must be how you act in your household all the time then.

Answer 2

i am from New Orleans.......and we are the same people you see walking down your street.... you have your good and of course you have your bad....but out there usually the good out ways the bad.... you cant listen too everything you hear and see on t.v....cause in that case i probably would be racist against whites.....but i got to know them and ignored others

Answer 3

i lived there about 17 years ago when i was serving in the coast guard. i met some really good people there, the area then was awesome, i have not been there after the hurricane, but im sure the proud people of new orleans will wip that town back to the way it was, or make it better.

Answer 4

You are the only one I know so they must be beautiful, intelligent people.

Answer 5

Wonderful hardworking folks who most, through no fault of their own, lost everything they had.....everything...but who have shown an amazing sense of community and resiliency and fortitude.

I admire anyone who can rise "from the ashes" as these good people have...
