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.

Of course. Need to appeal to the lowest common denominator

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

I remember when Tim used to be the singer for the Human Rayz, AKA the precursor to Dash Rip Rock. Friend of mine used to heckle him just to get him to react. Good times.

Which church did he go to? Swag-town on Bluebonnet? What church in BR was teaching hatred of blacks?
I think the book should be retitled, My Shitty Racist Parents.

Born in 1964, so guessing HS in '83

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.

Istrouma HS from '73-'76
Some of my older friends went there...the stories of the fights were pretty bad.

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

That was actually in the early '80's. Istrouma was still predominantly white all through the '70's. The low interest rates of the early '80's drove the white folks out in droves.
