Welcome to "Nigger" Country! The Heart of Niggeranna!
BY Takuna Maulana EL Shabazz
Imagine if you will, that Black people from Southwest Louisiana suddenly came into economic and political power overnight. Further, imagine that they have become selfish and diabolical in their thinking and manifested that thinking in their behavior. Within the context of this new found power, Black people now owned and controlled television and radio stations, all major print media, and sit at the head of most public institutions, including most government offices. It is important to note here, that whoever controls the mass media also control the perception of the masses.
With this understanding, let us assume that one day a few influential Black individuals decided that the word "Nigger" should no longer be considered a derogatory word when referencing Black people. It is then declared by those few individuals that all Black people should be "Proud Niggers", due to the fact that Black people in America, were stolen from Afrika, perhaps out of Nigeria and forced to migrate to Southwest Louisiana in 1555. Now being fully empowered, Black public servants go into action using all of their political and economic clout to clean up the slur word nigger.
Obviously, the first step to be taken is to begin propagandizing the origin of the term nigger by denying its historical racial roots! Especially, denying the historical relationship that links the slur word Nigger to the word Cajun. The term "Cajun" is the popular historical equivalent racial slur, that was used by Black people in a retaliatory manner against White people who called them nigger.
The next phase is to establish a broad and consistent financial base to support continuous propaganda through television, radio, web sites and the print media. Well, in the name of cultural pride and economic growth for everyone, let's begin using tax dollars to expand the message. How, you might ask? The Black controlled government is encouraged to quietly endorse the concept that Southwest Louisiana is "Nigger Country" where proud Niggeranniens from Niggeranna live.
Making good use of all public entities, and their human and financial resources, they systematically begin to re-label influential Black people and everything of worth in Southwest Louisiana, past, present and future as Niggers of Niggerannien origin. Note, as they implement this initiative they are always mindful to demonstrate respect, love, and good will towards everyone. They shall spread their good will, especially, to their White brothers and Sisters, by encouraging their White minority politicians to present an honorary "Nigger Certificate" to prominent White visitors to the Southwest area. It is paramount that they promote the deception, that we are all God's children and must learn to live together and solve our problems together here in Niggeranna.
Brothers and Sisters, the above scenario is not a reflection of the mind, or the thinking of Black people in Southwest Louisiana. Black people by nature, more often than not, are more inclined to seek peace, justice and equality went dealings with others. However, it is my opinion that the above scenario is a description of the diabolical minds that are behind the selfish and reckless promotion of Cajun/Acadiana in Southwest Louisiana. The scenario further points out sarcastically, that a selfish diabolical mind, whether it be present in a black, white, blue, or green body, cannot produce peace, justice, and equality. A mind that is rooted in Capitalist Greed, Materialism, Sexism, Racism, is underdeveloped, immature and is more inclined to be corrupted. Such a mind cannot perceive reality properly, nor can it respond in a just manner to anything outside of its own self-centered comfort zone.
It never ceases to amaze me how self-righteous and defensive most insecure Caucasians become when they are confronted by a Black person who expresses an uncompromising desire to be self-determined. The uncontrollable fear, arrogance, and anger that overcome most Caucasians, often serves as the needed fuel to conspire against that individual, group or organization. Unfortunately, it has been my personal experience with most White persons I know, to regard everything they don't understand, as being against them rather than just different, especially if that concept or initiative did not receive their self imposed pre-requisite blessings and approval.
If this is the kind of mindset that is behind the selfish and reckless promotion of Cajun/Acadiana, and I submit that it is; then we are not dealing with an innocent group of Caucasian people who have become overly zealous in promoting their culture. We are talking about a form of White Colonialism protecting the ideals of White Supremacy which is being funded with our tax dollars by the governmental entities of Southwest Louisiana. This is taxation without representation and a blatant mis-use and abuse of public funds. Also, it's a form of cultural terrorism, in which cultural genocide is being committed in Black communities in Southwest Louisiana.
In addition, conscious Blacks people reject the term "Creole", as a substitute to identify Black people of Afrikan ancestry. At best, "Creole" represents a sub-label or a second class citizenship status which is a direct outgrowth of a repressive European French colonial experience. In Louisiana, especially New Orleans, the term "Creole" was mainly used to identify the off spring of repressive White slave owners of French ancestry, who systematically engaged in sexual exploits and the raping of innocent enslaved Black women and young Black girls. It was these light- skinned Blacks who were labeled as Creoles and were made to feel that they were more worthy than, the darker skin Blacks.
Make no mistake, White Colonialism is a necessity for insecure racist-minded Caucasians who either secretly or overtly advocate White Supremacy. According to the Encarta Dictionary-English (North America), the term colonialism is defined as " practice of ruling nations as colonies; a policy in which a country rules other nations and develops trades for its own benefit. The Encarta Dictionary further defines the term colony as "a group of similar people of the same nationality or ethnic group, doing the same work, or living in the same circumstances, who reside together or near one another."
Let me crystallize the above point to prevent any misinterpretation. Our ancestors who were enslaved, worked, maintained, and lived on the same plantation as their slave owners. That didn't make them equal to the slave owners or alter their status as slaves in any regard. What distinguished the status and the role of the slaves and the plantation owners were clear and unmistakable. The plantation owners (Massa) were the colonizers and the Black slaves were being colonized. It is impossible to promote a superior without creating an inferior!
By colonizing everyone in Southwest Louisiana, under the Cajun/Acadiana label, the slick modern day colonizers effectively accomplish several aims. First, it kills the desire for self- determination for all others who are not of European descent. Second, it creates a destabilizing self-perpetuating atmosphere of fear and division between those Blacks who resist being colonized under the banners of Cajun, Acadiana, or Creole and those Blacks who succumb to the pressures for selfish interest, fear, greed or lack of love and knowledge of self. Third, those who resist are more inclined to be perceived by the colonizers and the mis-educated so called Black leadership, as counterproductive and trouble makers of the community.
The reckless promotion of Cajun/Acadiana/Creole is essentially a government funded modern day "Nigger" making process for Black people all over again. The architects are the slick White modern day slave makers. These are the children and grand- children of brutal slave owners who killed, raped, and robbed our ancestors of their names, history, culture, and God. Caucasian colonizers are aware that no matter what Black people define as progress or claim proficiency of, as long as Black people achieve under the name , label, culture and history of another people and do not know or value their own; Caucasians realize they are still in charge and can run their modern plantations just as effectively today as their forefathers did in the past. The Caucasian colonizers are not only content with the current situation but have proven to be valuable to the mis-educated Negroes by helping them to achieve their desired goals. In doing so, the slick colonizers, are fully aware that they are assisting and controlling the processing of their well-trained, domesticated Negroes who are acting unnatural and will eagerly and vigorously serve their colonizer's interest on command without hesitation!
Beloved Brothers and Sisters, I don't say these things to anger you or to be mean. However, I am aware of the tricks some Caucasians use on us. Black leaders, White folks are keen to the fact that most of you act out of fear of them or out of a slavish, mental co-dependency, and you are lacking in the knowledge of yourself. They know this because they fixed it that way! Now, here you come with your lost selves, like the old darkie, soothing the fears of your slave master, telling White people in private that the Cajun/Acadiana issue is not important to the masses of Black people in Southwest Louisiana. You and I both know that's a bold lie! Then you attempt to mis-educate and mis-direct Black people in the name of your White slave Massa, by suggesting that there are more important issues we must be concerned with. You then rattle off real concerns such as education, jobs, drugs, and Black on Black violence to name a few. You fail however, to mention that as a so-called Black leader, you are politically impotent in addressing the above concerns in any meaningful measure. Thus, you are not capable of connecting the dots to see a relationship between the adverse conditions in the poorer Black communities and the reckless promotion of Cajun/Acadiana/Creole, in which the bi- products for those Black communities are self-hatred, economic exploitation, taxation without representation, cultural terrorism and cultural genocide. Poorer Black communities in Southwest Louisiana, in particularly the children, are being robbed of the opportunity to manifest the knowledge of self and are being socially engineered into a permanent underclass under the banner of Cajun/Acadiana/Creole.
If the promotion of Cajun/Acadiana is an insignificant issue, why are Caucasians spending millions of our tax dollars annually promoting it? The facts are clear to the wise! Caucasians in Southwest Louisiana have created a distorted but strong historical and cultural reference base, as a foundation to produce everything else they want and need politically, socially, educationally and economically. Like most groups of people, regardless of geographic location or ethnic identity, they accept the fact that to be successful as a group, they must make the study and acceptance of their culture and history the highest priority.
On the other hand, most so-called, Black leaders in Southwest Louisiana, both spiritual, civic and political, appear to hold no such value or vision in addressing the collective needs of Black people. In fact, their ham bone knee slapping, booth licking, Chicken George approaches are not only ineffective but embarrassing. Weak, fearful, and mis-educated so-called Black leaders are too in love with the failed ideas of integration, to the degree that they can't even contemplate a serious dialogue on self-determination.
Black people in America, are the only ethnic group, that has been skillfully and systematically mis-educated and under- educated to the knowledge of self and kind. The natural consequences has been, a resistance to any process of re- education of self, and the solidification of a false value system that reflects a Euro-centric world view rather than a Black and African perspective. The historical and cultural comfort zone for most mis-educated and under-educated Black people is contingent on various degrees of compatibility of a white euro- centric world view. In other words, many among us talk Black and are well meaning, but think and do what is safe and comfortable for White people. For instance, it's unacceptable to the un-conscious Black person to embrace a progressive expression of Black culture and/or historical accounts that would challenge the euro-centric system of lies and deceit ingrained in Black people. Yet, the fact remains that the political, educational, economic, social, and spiritual viability needed to affect the growth and well-being of Black communities, regardless of geographical location, ultimately, depends on the degree in which Black people in those respective communities employ the concept of self- determination. Black communities must choose to value and then advocate for self-reliance, self-improvement, and self- help. This is a natural response in any given group of people when principally guided by the proper knowledge of self and kind.
In 1993, I was a guest on a local radio talk show in which I was to debate with the Caucasian Mayor of Lafayette, LA. The topic for debate was focused on issues that were sensitive to the Black community regarding the Cajun/Acadiana propaganda. The following are portions of the dialogue that ensued. Unfortunately, from the outset the hostess of the show, a Black woman, felt a need to praise the City of Lafayette and Cajun people for a job well done in promoting themselves. Of course, I took immediate exception to her remarks! I did so on the principle that, for any Black person to give praise to Cajun people and the City of Lafayette for promoting Cajun/Acadiana in such a destructive manner, was analogous to a rape victim giving praise to her rapist for a job well done! Nevertheless, the Black female hostess attempted to rationalize her position and stood firm on her statement. She went so far as to say she felt no need to apologize for her remarks. My intent here is not to speak disparagingly of the Black female hostess, but to point out how White folk's agenda can cause havoc among us when we attempt to defend, protect, or praise them, unarmed with a truthful knowledge and appreciation of our Black selves. Certainly, you could not get any intelligent Caucasian person, publicly or privately, to elevate anyone who insults, distorts, and reduces his/her cultural and historical significance in Southwest Louisiana to a zero or something unnatural like "White Niggers from Niggeranna"!
During the course of the program the former Mayor claimed he was appalled at my use of the term "Nigger". What he really was objecting to was my historical analogy of the terms Nigger and Cajun being equivalent racial slurs! This fact alone interferes with and threatens the marketing strategy of Cajun/Acadiana in Black communities. The former Mayor then said," I lived in Lafayette for 40 years. During all my time here I never heard the terms Cajun and Nigger used as synonymous racial slurs." Well, most intelligent, Black and White persons, who were listening to the show from the local areas knew that was a lie, a Cajun lie! That statement of denial by the former Mayor was equivalent to the KKK denying the existence of white sheets. He continued his hypocritical dramatics, by accusing me of trying to stir up hate between Blacks and Whites. Isn't that just like most White people? They shoot you at point blank range and then get mad with you for making a mess because your blood splashed on them. I have been saying to Caucasian people, like the former Mayor, who is now deceased, for over twenty -five years (25),that the selfish and reckless promotion of Cajun/Acadiana is contributing to the self-hatred syndrome and an escalating identity crisis among Black children in Southwest Louisiana.
In almost every instance, the Black community has been given a deaf ear. History has taught me that as long Black people hate themselves, most White people are comfortable and unconcerned. It's only when Black people's self-hatred reaches a boiling point and they in turn redirected the hate to the ones who produce the conditions that produce hate; White people then become concerned and ask," Who is that teaching hate?" What I found hilarious , was when the former Mayor explained, that the word "nigger" is not used in his household. "If my children would used that word", he said, " I would put Tabasco sauce on their lips !" Sarcastically I replied, "That may be so Mayor, but I am sure you would choose Cajun Tabasco sauce! Then I continued, "Mayor, I respectfully say directly to you Sir, White people don't have to call us Niggers today. That's not the modern day slave master's plan. All White folks
have to do is set up institutions that produce niggers wholesale without even using the word once. In fact, you even allowed laws that make it illegal to use the word nigger. However, this has not change the mindset or behavior of most White people I know. So, Mayor you don't use the word 'nigger' in your household, but as Mayor of Lafayette you represent and support a government that uses public funds to produce niggers daily. These days are rapidly changing, Sir."
Brothers and Sisters, if you say this is a nothing issue or believe that there is nothing in a name, then prove that to me in principle and I will cease all my efforts immediately. But, I know you can't prove that using sound principles of Righteousness, Justice, and Equality! However, I can prove to you that the promotion of Cajun/Acadiana/Creole is a form of White Colonialism and Culture Terrorism promoting White Supremacy and White Nationalism. I will further make clear that most of the Caucasian leadership of Southwest Louisiana and many of its well-groomed, frightened domesticated Negro leadership are making us pay for it by using taxpayers.
Given the information provided so far on the issue, as a reader, can you imagine the potentially explosive reaction and attitude of Caucasian people if Black people in Southwest Louisiana changed everything tomorrow that is now labeled Cajun/Acadiana to Nigger/Niggeranna? How many Caucasian families do you know would send their children to U.L.L. (University of Louisiana at Lafayette), a tax supported public university, with a school mascot as "Home of the Ragin Niggers"? How many proud Caucasian mothers and fathers do you know would attend U.L.L.'s football, basketball, and track events cheering on their sons and daughters, as they are being projected through local, regional, and national media as Ragin Niggers and proud student athletes' of U.L. at Lafayette? How many Caucasian athletes, would be foolish enough to accept a scholarship under these circumstances in the first place? How many elderly Caucasians, who grew up in the Southwest area during the 1930 thru 1980's when the terms cajun and nigger were equally ripe racial slurs, would physiologically embrace with a smile a world view of Niggerism as proud elderly Niggeranniens?
Do you think Caucasian people would allow Black people to use their tax dollars to construct a six million dollar facility on Congress Street, if it was named the Nigger Dome? Do you think for one moment that Caucasian people could be pacified and steered away from addressing the insults stemming from the mis-use and abuse of their tax dollars in constructing the Nigger Dome, if Black people simply hired one mis-guided well trained domesticated Caucasian person as, Nigger Dome Director?
How many Caucasians do you know would live peacefully and comfortably in Niggeranna, being projected daily to the world as proud Niggeranniens? Do you think Black television personalities would be allowed to wake up Caucasian people each morning with a good morning Niggeranna TV show? Do you think Caucasian people, as a major consumer market for private as well as corporate owned Black businesses, would support those Black businesses, if they marketed their products as nigger burgers, nigger biscuits, spicy nigger chicken, nigger rice, discounted nigger nuggets, curly nigger fries or slap your Momma Nigger sauce etc?
Do you really believe Caucasian people would permit the public school system to indoctrinate their children to a Nigger/Afrikan Immersion program emphasizing the lifestyle of Niggeranniens in Niggeranna! By that I mean, to insure our newly pronounced Afro-centric Nigger identity, we establish a multi-million dollar educational program within the public school system, in which the ultimate goal is to indoctrinate every child with historical pride to speak their new Nigger Swahili Creole Language from Africa! Of course to make it acceptable to everyone, we inform the Caucasian parents that there are some prominent White people in Africa who speaks Nigger Swahili Creole fluently. Then reassure them that all Caucasian students who participate are to be acknowledged as gifted students of proud parents. How many proud Caucasian parents you think would fall for such foolishness?
Lastly, just to keep it real, how many Caucasians would stop in Southwest Louisiana if Black people erected billboard signs on the highway that read "This Is Nigger Country"! I venture to say, not many White folks would stop! In fact, I envision that would be the only stretch of highway in America in which White people could drive through legally at 100 plus mile per hour! Now to add insult to injury, Black people politely tell Caucasian people," We used your tax dollars to build our selfish world." Then say "Don't Worry -Be Happy, we will all benefit economically! In fact here is a few dollars! We encourage you to organize yourselves under the banner of White Creole Niggers I.N.C.. This will allow the Caucasian communities to be in a position to benefit from the economic windfall that is sure to come by us advancing our cultural pride as Niggers from Niggeranna."
Brothers and Sisters, Caucasian people would not sit still for such foolishness! There would be organized rebellion against the Black community and its selfish leadership in twenty hours! A good example of that spontaneous eruption of "White Rage" was demonstrated several years ago in Lafayette, Louisiana, the proclaimed Heart of Cajun Country, when concerned Black citizens of Lafayette, suggested that Willow Street, a main thoroughfare, be renamed as Martin Luther king Jr. Boulevard. For the most part, White folks reacted as though they were being invaded by aliens, who had just declared war on them, especially, some of the private Caucasian businessmen and land owners, who adamantly didn't want their businesses or properties to reflect historically, any association with Dr. King.
As the racial thermometer escalated in tension, a weak lopsided compromise ultimately prevailed. Willow street remained as is and only a short stretch of Willow Street is named both Willow and sub-labeled as Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Express. In a moment of frustration, one of the few Black city officials who was vocal on the issue at that time, wrote the initials MLK Jr. on the back of his city councilman's chair. The argument whether he should have done it or not is irrelevant! The fact that Caucasians blew it up in the media, as though a major criminal offense had been committed is the point. These same satanic-behaving Caucasians, had already renamed hundreds of streets in Lafayette, to satisfy Cajuns, without any regard or input from the tax payers in Black communities. Also, they have relabeled the entire Black community as glorified "Ragin Niggers from Creole Land", under the label of Cajun/Acadian/ Creole.
Unfortunately, the overall response from so-called Black leadership was not one of Rage but capitulation. Just as it is currently! Black people could not colonize Caucasian people under an honorable Black label, much less a reciprocal racial slur they gave us. If you say you are not a "Nigger", then you should also reject being called Cajun. Currently in the south, White people still use a family of other slurs terms to insult or identify another White individual that is considered less than worthy of respect such as, Red-Neck, Pecker-wood, Coon-Ass, trailer trash etc. The slur Coon-Ass was equivalent to Cajun and considered the worst among the derogatory labels White folks placed on themselves. Also, Black people, stop telling others you are from Acadiana. There is no such place, not even for Cajuns in Cajun history. The word "Acadiana" derived from the mis- spelling of the word Acadian. Now the term is being used to identify many of the Southwest Louisiana parishes.
Black I Am! Cajun-Creole- Acadian I AM Not!
It is time to Rise Again Blackman, Woman, and Child and reclaim our original Greatness!"

Nevertheless, the Black female hostess attempted to rationalize her position and stood firm on her statement. She went so far as to say she felt no need to apologize for her remarks. My intent here is not to speak disparagingly of the Black female hostess, but to point out how White folk's agenda can cause havoc among us when we attempt to defend, protect, or praise them, unarmed with a truthful knowledge and appreciation of our Black selves. Certainly, you could not get any intelligent Caucasian person, publicly or privately, to elevate anyone who insults, distorts, and reduces his/her cultural and historical significance in Southwest Louisiana to a zero or something unnatural like "White Niggers from Niggeranna"!
During the course of the program the former Mayor claimed he was appalled at my use of the term "Nigger". What he really was objecting to was my historical analogy of the terms Nigger and Cajun being equivalent racial slurs! This fact alone interferes with and threatens the marketing strategy of Cajun/Acadiana in Black communities. The former Mayor then said," I lived in Lafayette for 40 years. During all my time here I never heard the terms Cajun and Nigger used as synonymous racial slurs." Well, most intelligent, Black and White persons, who were listening to the show from the local areas knew that was a lie, a Cajun lie! That statement of denial by the former Mayor was equivalent to the KKK denying the existence of white sheets. He continued his hypocritical dramatics, by accusing me of trying to stir up hate between Blacks and Whites. Isn't that just like most White people? They shoot you at point blank range and then get mad with you for making a mess because your blood splashed on them. I have been saying to Caucasian people, like the former Mayor, who is now deceased, for over twenty -five years (25),that the selfish and reckless promotion of Cajun/Acadiana is contributing to the self-hatred syndrome and an escalating identity crisis among Black children in Southwest Louisiana.
In almost every instance, the Black community has been given a deaf ear. History has taught me that as long Black people hate themselves, most White people are comfortable and unconcerned. It's only when Black people's self-hatred reaches a boiling point and they in turn redirected the hate to the ones who produce the conditions that produce hate; White people then become concerned and ask," Who is that teaching hate?" What I found hilarious , was when the former Mayor explained, that the word "nigger" is not used in his household. "If my children would used that word", he said, " I would put Tabasco sauce on their lips !" Sarcastically I replied, "That may be so Mayor, but I am sure you would choose Cajun Tabasco sauce! Then I continued, "Mayor, I respectfully say directly to you Sir, White people don't have to call us Niggers today. That's not the modern day slave master's plan. All White folks
have to do is set up institutions that produce niggers wholesale without even using the word once. In fact, you even allowed laws that make it illegal to use the word nigger. However, this has not change the mindset or behavior of most White people I know. So, Mayor you don't use the word 'nigger' in your household, but as Mayor of Lafayette you represent and support a government that uses public funds to produce niggers daily. These days are rapidly changing, Sir."
Brothers and Sisters, if you say this is a nothing issue or believe that there is nothing in a name, then prove that to me in principle and I will cease all my efforts immediately. But, I know you can't prove that using sound principles of Righteousness, Justice, and Equality! However, I can prove to you that the promotion of Cajun/Acadiana/Creole is a form of White Colonialism and Culture Terrorism promoting White Supremacy and White Nationalism. I will further make clear that most of the Caucasian leadership of Southwest Louisiana and many of its well-groomed, frightened domesticated Negro leadership are making us pay for it by using taxpayers.
Given the information provided so far on the issue, as a reader, can you imagine the potentially explosive reaction and attitude of Caucasian people if Black people in Southwest Louisiana changed everything tomorrow that is now labeled Cajun/Acadiana to Nigger/Niggeranna? How many Caucasian families do you know would send their children to U.L.L. (University of Louisiana at Lafayette), a tax supported public university, with a school mascot as "Home of the Ragin Niggers"? How many proud Caucasian mothers and fathers do you know would attend U.L.L.'s football, basketball, and track events cheering on their sons and daughters, as they are being projected through local, regional, and national media as Ragin Niggers and proud student athletes' of U.L. at Lafayette? How many Caucasian athletes, would be foolish enough to accept a scholarship under these circumstances in the first place? How many elderly Caucasians, who grew up in the Southwest area during the 1930 thru 1980's when the terms cajun and nigger were equally ripe racial slurs, would physiologically embrace with a smile a world view of Niggerism as proud elderly Niggeranniens?
Do you think Caucasian people would allow Black people to use their tax dollars to construct a six million dollar facility on Congress Street, if it was named the Nigger Dome? Do you think for one moment that Caucasian people could be pacified and steered away from addressing the insults stemming from the mis-use and abuse of their tax dollars in constructing the Nigger Dome, if Black people simply hired one mis-guided well trained domesticated Caucasian person as, Nigger Dome Director?
How many Caucasians do you know would live peacefully and comfortably in Niggeranna, being projected daily to the world as proud Niggeranniens? Do you think Black television personalities would be allowed to wake up Caucasian people each morning with a good morning Niggeranna TV show? Do you think Caucasian people, as a major consumer market for private as well as corporate owned Black businesses, would support those Black businesses, if they marketed their products as nigger burgers, nigger biscuits, spicy nigger chicken, nigger rice, discounted nigger nuggets, curly nigger fries or slap your Momma Nigger sauce etc?
Do you really believe Caucasian people would permit the public school system to indoctrinate their children to a Nigger/Afrikan Immersion program emphasizing the lifestyle of Niggeranniens in Niggeranna! By that I mean, to insure our newly pronounced Afro-centric Nigger identity, we establish a multi-million dollar educational program within the public school system, in which the ultimate goal is to indoctrinate every child with historical pride to speak their new Nigger Swahili Creole Language from Africa! Of course to make it acceptable to everyone, we inform the Caucasian parents that there are some prominent White people in Africa who speaks Nigger Swahili Creole fluently. Then reassure them that all Caucasian students who participate are to be acknowledged as gifted students of proud parents. How many proud Caucasian parents you think would fall for such foolishness?
Lastly, just to keep it real, how many Caucasians would stop in Southwest Louisiana if Black people erected billboard signs on the highway that read "This Is Nigger Country"! I venture to say, not many White folks would stop! In fact, I envision that would be the only stretch of highway in America in which White people could drive through legally at 100 plus mile per hour! Now to add insult to injury, Black people politely tell Caucasian people," We used your tax dollars to build our selfish world." Then say "Don't Worry -Be Happy, we will all benefit economically! In fact here is a few dollars! We encourage you to organize yourselves under the banner of White Creole Niggers I.N.C.. This will allow the Caucasian communities to be in a position to benefit from the economic windfall that is sure to come by us advancing our cultural pride as Niggers from Niggeranna."
Brothers and Sisters, Caucasian people would not sit still for such foolishness! There would be organized rebellion against the Black community and its selfish leadership in twenty hours! A good example of that spontaneous eruption of "White Rage" was demonstrated several years ago in Lafayette, Louisiana, the proclaimed Heart of Cajun Country, when concerned Black citizens of Lafayette, suggested that Willow Street, a main thoroughfare, be renamed as Martin Luther king Jr. Boulevard. For the most part, White folks reacted as though they were being invaded by aliens, who had just declared war on them, especially, some of the private Caucasian businessmen and land owners, who adamantly didn't want their businesses or properties to reflect historically, any association with Dr. King.
As the racial thermometer escalated in tension, a weak lopsided compromise ultimately prevailed. Willow street remained as is and only a short stretch of Willow Street is named both Willow and sub-labeled as Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Express. In a moment of frustration, one of the few Black city officials who was vocal on the issue at that time, wrote the initials MLK Jr. on the back of his city councilman's chair. The argument whether he should have done it or not is irrelevant! The fact that Caucasians blew it up in the media, as though a major criminal offense had been committed is the point. These same satanic-behaving Caucasians, had already renamed hundreds of streets in Lafayette, to satisfy Cajuns, without any regard or input from the tax payers in Black communities. Also, they have relabeled the entire Black community as glorified "Ragin Niggers from Creole Land", under the label of Cajun/Acadian/ Creole.
Unfortunately, the overall response from so-called Black leadership was not one of Rage but capitulation. Just as it is currently! Black people could not colonize Caucasian people under an honorable Black label, much less a reciprocal racial slur they gave us. If you say you are not a "Nigger", then you should also reject being called Cajun. Currently in the south, White people still use a family of other slurs terms to insult or identify another White individual that is considered less than worthy of respect such as, Red-Neck, Pecker-wood, Coon-Ass, trailer trash etc. The slur Coon-Ass was equivalent to Cajun and considered the worst among the derogatory labels White folks placed on themselves. Also, Black people, stop telling others you are from Acadiana. There is no such place, not even for Cajuns in Cajun history. The word "Acadiana" derived from the mis- spelling of the word Acadian. Now the term is being used to identify many of the Southwest Louisiana parishes.
