Business Elite Ethnically Cleanse the Poor in New Orleans
Christopher Cooper’s War Street Journal article (Old-line families plot the future) is worth excerpting at length because it so shamelessly reveals how the rich elite “business” sociopaths of New Orleans think and operate:
The mostly African-American neighborhoods of New Orleans are largely underwater, and the people who lived there have scattered across the country. But in many of the predominantly white and more affluent areas, streets are dry and passable. Gracious homes are mostly intact and powered by generators. Wednesday, officials reiterated that all residents must leave New Orleans, but it’s still unclear how far they will go to enforce the order.
