St. George article on Daily Mail Today

Wealthy white residents

Well, this rich coming from LONDON

Of course that's how they spin it..

Not that they are unincorporated areas who get taxed to pay for amenities they don't receive because they are in the unincorporated areas.

1776, bitches.

I feel like I couldn’t write a satirical article any better. Except this isn’t satire

Wealthy white residents win right to split from black neighborhoods

BET
Black Miss America
Etc, etc
I was under the impression that this was a thing that was acceptable.

On a serious note, only an uninformed lunatic would think St George "split".

It hits every false talking point made by opposition. Might be the worst one I have read about StG. Throws in a lot of words like split, partition, racism, separates, whites, blacks, and so on. Mentioned majority white and poor blacks over and over. Shows nice neighborhood for StG and the Triple S mart as the example of Baton Rouge.


Dumb arse who didn’t know he was never a resident of Baton Rouge or is just lying.

Another resident, Paul Brady, wrote: 'The segregationist won. I'm no longer a citizen of Baton Rouge. I now live in the white enclave of St George.'

Cormier is so full of shite. Detanglement?

quote:

M.E. Cormier, told the New York Times: 'There is no basis in fact that the existence of St. George is positive or will bring positivity or have a positive impact on any areas of the cities or the parish. 'The detanglement, logistically speaking, is going to be an absolute nightmare.'

It made BR and blacks look hopelessly pathetic, but I doubt that was intentional.

It also is just incorrect on non-political points.

The proposal didn't get enough votes and the movement ground to a halt until 2019, when a second ballot to incorporate St George passed, with 54 percent of residents voting in favor of separation.
