It’s a sad fact of life that we live on a planet composed of highly evolved people who through self discipline try to raise themselves up.And lazy people who take comfort in debasement and corruption. They respond to fear and anger and are always looking for someone else to blame for their lot. More sad than scary.

Isn’t that the truth. I can’t read these post without feeling like this country is raising a generation of imbeciles. It’s really depressing we could sink to this level of discourse this quickly. Does anyone else find this scary?

Shut your pie hole, little boy.
Astonishing you even had half the brain to post a clip so old it makes your grandfather look like a kid.

Wow.
The whole Internet is crawling with pubescent babies, even with clips as old as this.

I’m sure lots of places are different than they were 22 years ago. Quit being so negative about something you have no knowledge of.

Yes, back in 1987.
And it was DIRTY, smelly, and disgusting with all the porn shops almost everywhere, too.
You can even smell puke in the air, too!

Tsubahi, have you even been to N.O.?

I’m sure the producers of this film were more interested in presenting the more wholesome aspects of the Mardi Gras celebration. The idea that in 1941 there were no streets full of drunks, perverts and sleazy bums is silly. In those days facts like that were obscured and not exploited. Also due to the vast explosion of media capabilities in the past 60 years there are just more points of view available to people nowadays.

That’ your opinion; of course Juneteenth, Black History Month, Martin Luther King Jr Holiday, and various Afro-” ” festivals across the country probably in your locality as well as mine do not cater to specific groups…well again that’ your opinion and it i mine that you are willingly ignorant not to notice.

I didn’t see a swastica anywhere, but yeah, racial hatred and ugliness was rampant then – far worse than now.
