People on here equate Essence to the Southern Classic. I don't know about this year but that's typically a completely different class of people.

90 percent of rednecks I know don't give a crap what color you are.

the bayou classic is the worst large crowd on New Orleans’ tourism calendar without question, but a very close second is the high school playoffs weekend. Those crowds are predominantly white trash and they are almost as bad

instead it’s a bunch of racist blacks

In the early 2000s i worked at the lord & Taylor in the New Orleans center - essence and bayou classic are two reasons I’d never work retail again

Or
A) high ticket prices
B) weak line-up
C) tough financial times
D) maybe a bit of trepidation following the NYE attack
E) feeling unwelcome by local businesses.


G) USAID that used to fund corrupt NGOs are shut the frick down.

Lots of federal employees laid off in the Spring.

If they took Trump’s going away package they should have money.


Some may have been on the take through some special USAID groups that had its funding cut. And they would have been fired without an option of a government golden parachute.

trashy, belligerent, drunk, cheap (very very cheap), entitled and stupid…generally. We were right next to the dome so we were full to the brim with them. the primary difference between that crowd and the bayou classic crowd was they didn’t cook in their rooms, so there’s that I guess.

It had very little to do with the time. Essencers are still partying then every other night. Lauryn Hill is just a POS. Hate to see it.

Yep, you definitely won’t find any racists at a black event, not one.
