[StBernard] History repeating itself?

[Westley Annis]

History repeats or history fundamentally changes to the point of utter
convenience.

Separate but equal or SEP-ER-ATE to superiority? (or the trite, "cake and
eat it too" overused cliché').

Did anyone else notice the event of today in St. Bernard Parish in a
recently past issue of the St. Bernard News? One in which a "Antique auto
show" was being held today? Yeah? What, in "retaliation or in spite of" a
classic auto club putting on its monthly classic/antique auto club
gathering?

The auto club is always open to the public so anyone can attend.

In this issue being referenced, the "show" of shows is being sponsored; it
seems by the local chapter of the St. Bernard Parish NAACP. Yes, the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.  Was this
necessary as a challenge to the Multi-use-mixed apartment/ghetto housing
being constructed in St. Bernard?  It appears to be timely in St. Bernard as
so many St. Bernardians are challenging the construction which is causing
many unnecessary angst and emotional pain.  Has the NAACP decided to throw
what weight it has toward support of the apartment dwelling composition by
exhibiting its gradual (but noticeable) presence to the St. Bernard
community with its own events?  Is it in support or agreement with these
"not-so-high-priced luxury" (also known to some as "Village Sq. North,
South, East and West JR.)?

You know, the one which a federal socialist judge wants punitive action
brought onto the misery of St. Bernard Parish in conjunction with her
Marxist views?

It's almost like a Federal Offense vs. states' rights. One in which a
liberal agenda would be equivalent to "forced busing",  quotas and
government interference of OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES to dictate what it is we want
in our community.  It's a flashback to carpetbagger days after the civil war
where we in the south were "forced fed" what the FEDs wanted us to choke
upon.

Not a slap but a shovel to the face and our homeland.

There is a battle ahead. We do not know in which form it will evolve or
escalate towards, but court is but one issue to challenge this atrocity.  We
need desperately to reverse the wrongs continuously smacking our way of life
and set future events straight to righteousness where everyone in the parish
is given a good and equal chance to decide the fate of its social climate
without political affronts to parish rule which has parish rights.

For if trash dwellings are unacceptable to the landscape of a community, it
is the populace who should make that decision as to its direction and how it
wants to recovery from Katrina.

However, if everyone simply reads the paper and does little, it's the
equivalent of the NAACP, Provident and da Judge of accomplishing a lot.

In the past, a black eye referred to either a blow to the eye, or an
unnecessary blight upon our community. Which is being given in St .Bernard
Parish??
