Nutria: A beaver-like, fur-covered rodent that's eating the marshes and levees of Louisiana's swamps. Many have migrated into the city through the canals and bayous. They look like giant rats with long, orange teeth. You should avoid them, but some locals cook them.

If you walk through the quarter and you see the people sitting on the side walk talking sh*t to you as your walking by and they happen to have 1.) a dog 2.) 50 peircings 3.)50 tatoos 4.) strange colored hair 5.) strange hair cut 6.) ask you for either money or cigs 7.) some type of chain being worn (by the dog or on the person) 8.) about 5 other of those freaks sitting all together..... they are called "gutter punks". These people have to have all of these qualities to apply. If they don't then they are just regular New Orleans locals.

Black people are awesome. I don't think people liked the statement because Nagin seemed to marginalizing his white constituents (who are now the majority population) who also lost a lot of their homes and property. When you think of white people you probably assume well to do middle class and upper middle class people but there were plenty of poor whites who lost everything during Katrina too. They may have also felt left out because Nagin seemed to be calling back only the black residents of the city. So essentially the statement just marginalized way too many groups and it isnt something that the mayor of a city based on diversity should have said after a huge disaster like katrina. Also the culture in New Orleans was able to happen not only because of blacks, but because of the merging of cultures that was acceptable in that area for hundreds of years. Blacks definitely contributed but the beauty of the city was that it was an example of what positive things can be done when we set aside our bigotry and let cultures mix freely.

Nutria rats most come from ships on the river.
