New Orleans' Politics

New Orleans politics is like none other. Here you will find politicians changing their race or creed. For example, you might read, information online, about how some politicians were the first black to accomplish this or that; later you might read online articles about how some politicians were the first Creole to accomplish this or that. I know this may be confusing but only in New Orleans will you find politicians being immortalized as black when they want to push the agenda on how they aggressively broke down barriers in order to get to where they are.

Then when they die, somehow they have now become Creoles---as if to say----look at me---I wasn't really black after all. Thanks for voting for me anyway---you black fools---who otherwise I would never have anything to do with. You see, my main purpose was to represent the Creole folks of New Orleans and help them move up in the political arena.
