âNot racistâ Louisiana man warns that renaming street for MLK will unleash his âracist waysâ
WATCH: âNot racistâ Louisiana man warns that renaming street for MLK will unleash his âracist waysâ
In video captured by NOLA.com, resident after resident came forward and criticized the plan to rename a half-mile stretch of road that runs through the predominately black part of the community after the slain civil rights leader.
âAs far as naming it to Martin Luther King, he didnât live in this parish, he did nothing for this parish, he didnât even know this parish existed,â said area resident Charlotte OâConnor.
St. Bernard Parish was one of the most heavily impacted areas in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the levees causing almost every structure in the community to be flooded and destroyed.
One bearded man explained that the St. Bernard Parish Council members were pushing their luck with the name change.
âIâve never had a racist bone in my body. Iâve worked for a bunch of âem, been in their houses, been in a lot of your guysâ houses, â he said. âBut if you keep pushing me I will show you my racist ways. [Mayor ] Mitch Landrieu can go to hell. Praise the Lord for Bobby Jindal.â
See? Just the mention of MLK makes someone, much like gamma rays did to Bruce Banner, TURNS someone racist. Its not that they are racist at all in the first place. And I understand him, really...my kid LOVES vegetables until I push him to eat them. Then he hates them....thats what he says...not really sure how that works lol
