You people are talking about food and cuisines, Am here thinking what's wrong with Africa particularly Nigeria.... In other news we saw in kaduna zoo a lion died blc of hunger and starvation. But see white man's land, see history, see logistics, see clean tidy environment, see neatness, see arrangements, see packaging, just for history, yet we are finding it difficult to manage a zoo. I still don't believe black man's brain have evolved, white man's brain is upto date, unless black wey don civilize with them. 7 Likes |

Tadeknkeepcalm: I’m all about forgiveness and moving forward. The goal is to not let history repeat itself, so it’s important that we educate others regarding what happened to avoid this from happening again. Many systemic problems around the world are rooted back to some form of slavery, and mans need to make others feel inferior. But at the end of the day, we’re all ONE human race, and as such, ALL people should be respected and treated equally, period. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Mstravelindiva: Not sure, I want to go and place myself under such emotional strain. I will become angry and I don't trust myself when very mad. It was sick then as It is now and I am not sure how to make things right still 100 years after. 3 Likes |

Mstravelindiva:Sure. I agree. Educate everyone about the evil perpetrated by all groups(especially if it is proven that this "necessary education" does not incite more bad blood". Not just singling one group as the evil doers and the other as a saint. I feel all boils down to the motive and sincerity of actions. But this is solely my opinion ma. Thanks 5 Likes |

rickleye: The plantation tour is optional and I’ll admit, not everyone does this tour. I felt obligated to myself to do this tour to show my respects and to understand better what my ancestors went through and died for. It’s a somberly experience, but if my ancestors had to endure it, then I can spare time to see what they had to experience. That’s just me. It was well worth it and I would do it again, I felt very empowered to “do better” after visiting. 4 Likes |

Mstravelindiva:I was here the weekend before the last. Omo i couldn't eat any of the delicacies in their eatery. I ended up thrashing the food i took out. But i like the street party, it was fun. The street jam and the dance. New Orleans has rich history. The old French houses are well maintained and are beauty to behold. NB: my friend and I spent about 30 minutes on the queue to get this nonsense 1 Like |

Tadeknkeepcalm: Point taken, although I didn’t single anyone or any specific ethnic group/race out. I’m sure there is blame that can be shared by many. On the positive, we have moved forward, and I had the opportunity to visit and share my travel experience with others. I appreciate your perspective and respect your opinion. Take care and be well friend! 4 Likes |

gnykelly: I believe the aforementioned still exists but in an entirely different forms and degree. Proving our intellect and earning a respectful place in the world doesn't require violence or aggression. Those of the black race need to get ahead in terms of science, technology ecetra, and things will fall in place because those of the white race will come to seek ideas. Respect they say is earned. We can't permanently sit back waiting for every innovation to emerge from the west. Doing so have a name and in my opinion it's known as telling the world that we are still slaves, waiting to be guided by their master. Young Africans take pride in things that are invaluable, such as preferring to spend all their funds on material things such as designer clothing rather than emerge with innovations. We wouldn't earn our place in the world and attract respect by wearing designer clothing. We need to sit back and have a rethink. Because, future generations are inheriting a very heavy burden from us. Essentially, although am hesitant to state this but at some point the truth must be said. Blacks don't even like themselves enough. Love amongst blacks is lacking and that I believe is responsible for a black not willing to support a brother or a sister who's got a good idea. Instead we try to bring such person down and our government is an accomplice too, that's the reason our government never can identify any thing good in us. A reorientation of ourselves is immensely required. I feel a lot of empathy toward the future generations because they are inheriting a very heavy burden from us. 4 Likes |

LordTrezy: We walked everywhere, or used Uber for far locations, I didn’t rent a car. Parking in downtown New Orleans is a no for me. Lodging centrally made it easy to get around on foot to most places. |

LordTrezy: Absolutely, I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans hotel, I even did a TikTok video of the hotel if you’d like to check it out. Hotel was very nice the location is excellent. I also have stayed at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside which was also very nice but further away from French Quarters. Let me know if this helps! 1 Like

gnykelly:we are currently going through over 60years of barren development and wasted resources by our own brother and blood, and you are concerned about slavery that was in existence and the order of the day before industrialization? Boss allow the whites to explore, at least we can see signs of those explorations, what can we say about ourselves. 5 Likes |
