I know little Wayne is from Louisiana. See, this is where living here verses arguing a point from overseas makes a difference. Lots of blacks from the Mississippi delta moved into North Louisiana in the past century. These people spread into parts of Louisiana and during the civil rights era, blacks moved into New Orleans in mass amounts and in mass amounts, whites moved out to the suburbs. These blacks moved into New Orleans. That’s why they have English surnames as they were slaves of people with those surnames outside of south Louisiana. In 1950, New Orleans was 69% white, 31% black. Just before hurricane Katrina in 2005, New Orleans was 67% black, 31% white. The numbers reversed. Today, New Orleans is about half black, a third white and the rest made up of Vietnamese, Latin American mestizos and Arabs. Also, Colonial Louisianians are all Catholics. The vast majority of blacks in New Orleans now are Baptist. These blacks are either non-colonial or are mixed with non-colonials. There are folks in Louisiana with English surnames. But understand that they came from other states and do not make up the majority in south Louisiana and are mixed with French in North Louisiana.
