Translated from a friend, who used to live in da quatah, and now lives in Vienna:
Bout Jefferson, well, you can count on the sheep to break your heart at every turn. Back during slavery, it wasn't uncommon for a slave to manage to get his freedom, then buy some land, and some slaves of his own. So what's a little cash in the freezer? People love to be slaves -- then they can bitch. You not a slave no mo', you can't bitch no mo'.
The sheep gotta have the wolves...the sheep create the wolves.
I think your friend has it all wrong. Nobody who voted for Jefferson is going to bitch about him being reelected. The people who voted for him are the same racist blacks who reelected that failure of a mayor based on his shameless race-baiting. There was just no way those voters were going to vote for a white candidate. These are the same people we can thank for the outrageous crime rate, because they will not convict a black defendant. I had always heard that from friends in the DA's office but never believed it until I served jury duty and witness the jurors's apathy firsthand. On a related note, remember all the time and money the city wasted trying to "desegregate" the Mardi Gras krewes? It seemed harmless enough but it's just further evidence that what really resonates with the voters of New Orleans is lettin them rich soda crackas know who in charge now.
