This morning on WWL Stacy Head used the term "Outside Agitators" to describe the public housing protesters who came to her house yesterday. During the recent Gubernatorial election, the local blogosphere erupted in outrage over Bobby Jindal's use of this "racially charged codespeak" to describe the Jena 6 protesters. Stacy Head just did the same thing. Will she be similarly chastised?
Uh... no.... no she won't.
Update: During the interview, Head also described this as a choice between "preserving historic buildings" and "choosing a wonderful new community". Since we all know that there is no settled and contracted plan for re-development of most of these properties, can we not reasonably assume that what Head means by "wonderful new community" is a community with fewer poor and black people in it?
