Rich White People?

The national messaging has gone forward describing the St. George Movement as rich white people breaking away from Baton Rouge?
Still they drive this message that somehow this area of EBR Parish was part of city,...it never was.
And the organized push to label St. George as rich white people when in reality the Baton Rouge elite like Bernhard, Reilly, Lipsey, Manships, Sternbergs and others - all billionaires fought this movement.
Norman Browning, Chris Rials, The St. George Fire Chief, A small law firm Murrill these are the white people who are wealthier than elite Baton Rouge? I think the closest you get is Eddie Rispone who supported the movement.
Watching the machine work, you really have to give them credit for their lack of morals and consistency.

They can’t exist without lies and deceit.

It is a combination of inherent leftist bias in the media with an equally strong desire by the media to not learn the nuances of a story fully.
I used to work in a newsroom. You can trust me when I say the room is full of people who develop a vision or opinion of a story in a snap, and don’t veer from it unless they uncover overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They do not care about accuracy as much as just blurting something out and moving to the next story. It’s really sad.
They don’t report that St. George was an unincorporated area that was never a part of Baton Rouge to begin with because they can’t explain that nuance in a headline, and that’s as deep as they want to go. They are okay with being wrong about that detail. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That’s how they think.

I certainly didn’t feel rich growing up in the prestigious St George. My parents built a modest home when I was two/three, in Quail Ridge then upgraded to build another larger modest home in Oak Hills a couple years later. This was a young (in his 20s) chemist’s salary with absolutely zero family money or second income.
At least for most of my life we were the typical STG residents.
(Also lived and my mom and step dad still live in a house that cost under $80k in Iberville Terrace and briefly in Wimbledon—that was as fancy as it got.)

The rich white people in BR couldn't care less. They already send their kids to private school and really don't notice the high taxes for no benefit to them.
This is about middle class people wanting decent schools and not to bankroll programs for people who don't work.
I left a long time ago because I had to choose to move to the suburbs in BR or go to an area without a paltry education system. I was paying more for private school for one kid and daycare for another than I was on my mortgage. Not sustainable for a middle class family.

These national news outlets are not basing their reporting on their own efforts, they are mining the local news stories for their articles. Direct most of your anger at the completely corrupt and complicit local media (WAFB, WBRZ, WVLA, The Advocate). They have consistently towed the line for those against St. George.

They hate white people, but love white tax dollars

Growing up is realizing that you can't trust any large news media anymore. They're out to spin a story and get viewers. Salacious and scandal sells.
Then you start to think back to all the historical news stories that were reported over the years and wonder how much of it was factual.

My home will be in St George. Based on the trick or treaters we see every year there's not many rich white people in the area.

It's called White Flight
Happens in every city, why would anyone with means want to live with a bunch of criminals
In DFW it's the same - all the "white" people who could afford to moved north to Plano, Frisco, McKinney etc etc
Average home price is $490,000 so if you can pay the mortgage come on

It’s all just the same pitiful Marxist deconstruction of every single issue. Too vapid for serious people to waste time on and relying entirely on an audience of readers and viewers who don’t possess critical thinking skills and who are susceptible to the woke mind virus . This country is in serious trouble, folks. Idiocracy unleashed.
