I strongly agree with you. I moved to Baton Rouge 3 years ago and I spent a lot of time at Southern University football games and I also have family in the areabut I do think it’s wrong to affiliate crime scene with Southern University. It doesn’t paint a good picture for the university. My daughte has for the past 2 year been enrolled in the Upward Bound program at Southern University and it’s a very good program and they were houseing for 6 weeks this year paid by Southern University , plus take the children on paid educational vacations. Fully funded by Southern University. But no one is talking about the good stuff so I am here to talk about the good stuff about Southern University,and I have to very nice young people that has received Scholarships to attend Southern and one is even playing for the Human Juke Box So my experience the past 3 years I lived here in Baton Rouge all the way from Buffalo New York has been a good one for. Southern University. Its a privaledge and honor to be part of The Southern University Jaguar Nation My mom graduated from Southern over 50Years ago. She’ll be 83 August.
what?

I am against Southern. Have you ever worked with someone who graduated from there? I know of someone who has a Masters plus 30 from Southern and this person is so uneducated they are currently working a job that only requires a H.S. diploma and they are making $20,000 a year. No one will hire her because she is uneducated trash despite what the pieces of paper say. There is a reason Southern is always on probation and about to lose their accreditation. The worst teachers in our system come from Southern. Go to any high school and find their worst teachers, 90% of them got their degree from Southern. At least in this area of Louisiana.
So you judge a whole college by one person? Let me guess, you are one of these "Every LSU grad is the role model of society that is perfect" type of person?
You need to get out into the world more. LSU, SLU, Tulane, etc etc has idiots that graduate too.

This are a lot of conclusions you have come to from your interaction with ONE Southern grad.

If you look at all of his other articles, they are "Black" this, "Black", that. He's written one article about a white person. And he throws in Trayvons et al every chance he can. He's just another racist behind a keyboard with a platform. Good job Gary Chambers, you've become another useless media member.

The end of 2012 marked the beginning of my journey as a black business owner along with my two best friends and the sky was the limit

We set out to accomplish incredible things at The Rouge Collection Magazine. Within days some vibrant young writers joined our team and took the opportunity to share their stories and perspective with thousands of people. They were excited about launching a black owned media platform in the city.
quote:
Year two has come and gone and we desired to bring 12 issues of the magazine to print. We never met the budget. What we found out was that being black and in business you walk a difficult tight rope.
quote:
I got frustrated as I saw black businesses advertise with non-black companies and wondered why they wouldn’t give us a shot. I wondered why no one wanted to buy into our dream. I knew, even with The Rouge Collection’s kinks, the potential to be great was there. Is there.
quote:
Along the way I realized that being a black owned publication is more than just being in business. When we started, this was about trying to build something that could feed our families. There is nothing wrong with that, and it’s still our goal. However, we found out that people like our Editor-in-Chief Thelisia Davis, a Dillard University graduate, almost gave up on her goal of writing for a publication before The Rouge Collection, because job opportunities for minorities in journalism weren’t just falling out of the sky. We found out that so many other people who came to work with us had tried to work for companies locally and afar to no avail. We found out that this was a calling. That we had responded to a call to action that we didn’t even know existed before we got knee-deep into it.
quote:
Right now in too many places around the country, people of other ethnicities are speaking to our people and giving us slanted information. Too often we aren’t celebrated for what we achieve unless we kiss up to fit into certain social groups, or play the game of a system that wasn’t designed for us to succeed in. So even though most days its hard to be a black entrepreneur, I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I’m going to keep pressing, keep pushing to build a print budget that gives us the chance to shift the culture of black media in our market.
what a fat fricking a-hole

"The media in Baton Rouge has always done this. I can remember when I was a student at Southern and the football team went undefeated for the season. LSU did not have a game that week yet The Advocate chose to feature a picture of the empty Tiger Stadium rather than report on Southern’s win. This was back in 1993/1994."
Racist bastards

Hey brother I get it. Every time I see white people do business with a black owned store it drives me crazy. Why give black people money when you could give it to white people.
I assume he'd have to agree.
