That has to be enough to immediately remove her from public office, right? Doesn't that statement go against the public welfare and the oath of office?

It's mind blowingly racist and brash. It might be the most ignorantly racist thing I've ever read from a local politician. I don't even have the words to continue its so outrageously insane.

This is exactly why I brought this here. That quote right there has my blood boiling.

All this bullshite from the mayor's office about not being divisive, acting as one whole city is utter lies.

They destroyed NBR and are now deflecting the blame on those that had nothing to do with it aside from leaving. We could build Perkins Rowe 2 right off of Airline where the Great Hall was and it would be a shithole in 3 months. Nothing will fix NBR except a massive cultural change by its residents

If everyone switched sides of town, north BR would be booming and south BR would be “sick” within 5 years.

Same goes for failing schools. It’s the students, not the paint on the walls.

shite, look at what the hipsters and gays can do to a blighted urban area. It takes them almost no time to do what the “culcha” couldn’t do in 40 years.

These people are not true liberals. What we are seeing today is Progressives. This country would be a lot better if we had two groups that were true conservatives and true liberals.

Hmmm,

it appears ol Chauna has quite the media heat on her this week. Hayride dug up an old Advocate article. Not sure if this story made it on to TigerDroppings or not, but just in case it didn't:

HayRide: Yes, Chauna Banks Has Been Living Out Of Her Campaign Account, And No, It’s Not Racist To Notice

The Advocate -
Councilwoman Chauna Banks-Daniel spent campaign funds on clothes, hair and nails


Maybe Hayride is just linking the fact that Chauna wants the taxpayers of BR to pay for NBR restoration, but her herself cannot be trusted with managing her funds legally.

The southern portion of the city is healthy and the northern part of the city is sick. Its diagnosis is “oppression.”

how about they just split the city into two separate cities, that way the north can do what they want?



ETA: also, why is 'Chauna' spelled with a C? i find that annoying.

We need city leaders, particularly a mayor that is not trying to serve ALL the people in Baton Rouge equally. Because all the people and communities in Baton Rouge do not need the special attention during these perilous times.

I don't really think you could make a better argument for St. George than this. A MC member overtly, and without influence, advocated that south BR be completely neglected in order to pump money into NBR so Chauna and her constituency can have everything they desire. I really wish the council would approve a new tax. Everyone living in "the white" part of BR will have their taxes increased x2 in order to pay for "the black" part of BR. This way we can facilitate the decapitation of the city rather than sawing at it's neck with a steak knife for the next decade or two.
