The section Race demographics seems entirely unencyclopaedic and created purely on unfounded racially motivated fears of a change in the city's racial demographics. NorthernThunder 21:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Population Data needs updating with references. New Orleans Recovery paragraph lacks citations. It seems to have been politically motivated. This should report facts and not try to pin blame on one or two administrations when, in fact, the blame, if any, is much more diffused. IMHO the overall article needd to be tightened up. It rambles in a disjointed manner with little focus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Night4owl (talk • contribs) 18:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Agree with top comment. Not only is the Race section "entirely unencyclopaedic" but much of the rest of the article little but an essay of venting.Night4owl (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
