Parrish is 3 years older than me, so would have been a HS senior when the last big busing shockwave hit BR in 1982.
Eta: I'm wrong on dates. Apparently he graduated from Istrouma High in 76

Author Tim Parrish, an LSU alumnus raised in Baton Rouge, said in a New York Daily News guest column Sunday that he “grew up a Southern racist,” “learned how to hate at home and at church” and “drank from the same poisonous well as Dylann Roof.”

Some of what he's saying is probably true, but I'll bet he's going to exaggerate like hell to sell some more copies. At the expense of everyone he can throw under the bus.

The article says he graduated in 1976; I wonder what high school he attended.

He grew up in a violent time. I think most white and black people hated each other at the time...older friends tell me of the black on white brawls in high school.

Does anybody remember when he was in a bad called the Human Rayz with Bill Davis?

I really wish LSU could strip this a-hole of his degree.

Mr. Parrish is spot on on his analysis of many of our posters

Well Parrish graduated HS in 1976 and Roof would have graduated HS in 2012. I'd like to think the world has come a long fricking way in 36 years. That's like comparing growing up in 1950 to 1986.

This is 100% complete BS, IMO

The one thing I hate that has happened over the ladt few years is black people don't say hello as much while walking down the street. To me, it's the simple politeness of small town life, you pass another human being and you acknowledge their existence.
A lot of the younger whites/blacks will do it after a prompt, but the older black people seem to be growing more distant. Odd really.
Maybe I'm just old.

Even though BR has its racial problems, look at Br magnet high.
Its truly a melting pot or UN nations. You can see whites, asians, blacks hanging out together.
