Follow-up: shootings explained

To start, more context (long and anecdotal so bear with me). First, racial undertones. As I stated in previous post im a 42, black male and have been attending games in TS as a loyal tiger fan since '04--first game was vs Ark State that year. The first few years wasn't comfortable, nothing overtly racist but not that welcoming. But I can say assuredly that since '07 i have had nothing but 100% positive experiences as a tiger fan in TS with other all other tiger fans. Yes folks that includes *gasps* all the white ones in the majority. Im willing to bet all white tiger fans can come close to saying the same thing about black tiger fans who they encounter at the games in TS and even especially at road games. The only cultural issues one experiences in the games are typically due to vulgarities and excessive drinking and in my experience that's all been white vs white. Paying customers inside the stadium and further deep on campus tailgating--of all stripes--adhere to the family oriented standards where the inherent default position for *sober* behavior is nothing illegal, endangering a child/anything you wouldn't want a child to do, or disruptive to the goings on. Process of elimination, part 1: paying customers of all backgrounds are NOT the issue, and LSU protects the ones who spend at games or on campus first.

The majority of years I've attended home games i would park by McKinley High, just as a quick way to head back to north to Zachary. The McFadden Arkansas post game traffic way back when was absolutely the worst traffic ever, even worse than LSU-SU from free levee lots. Anyway, in all the years I've parked there, never has that element in that area ever commandeered the Northgate area until the the last 2 home games. The elders in that area have always have been nice, never been interested in nor had any business or affiliation with LSU, for those reasons stayed away from LSU, and on game days hustled parking spots never endangering whomever parked in that area. They understood and accepted that delicate dance, where 20 years ago it was definitely rooted in race whereas now those elders dont care either, though some wear purple and gold post 2019. Process of elimination, part 2: the elders, old heads, uncs and aunts of the McKinley area--despite being behind the socioeconomic 8ball figuratively in many ways-- are NOT the issue.

So what's changed the last 2 weeks? Two rappers, Kevin Gates and Megan Thee Stallion. Per my research, I'll explain.

The overwhelming problem derives from the young women--the female YNs-- who are just a hot mess smorgasbord of emotional instability, sexual depravity and a lack of social awareness. Emphasis on the lack of social awareness, which is the root of what many are calling black fatigue. What you do at the pool party at the apartments is not what you do on a Carnival cruise. What you do at a NBA Youngboy concert isn't what you do at a community homecoming events. So on and so forth. Problem #1: these girls are being lapped and left behind by their black female counterparts. Process of elimination, part 3: LSU black female students are NOT the issue. These female YNs see their black female counterparts-- who come from good backgrounds with families who taught them and sacrificed for them to go further in life--all over social media do things and go places they cant do, so they seek to copy it. With much less resources, terrible influences and inability or unwillingness to listen, their attempts at copying their counterparts not only fails miserably but sets off a domino effect.

The rapper Megan Thee Stallion has started a trend amongst ratchet YNs where they LITERALLY, I repeat LITERALLY hike the back of their skirt up revealing their bare arse. These girls do not believe in bottoms that any inseam. What these sorority and college girls do with their game days outfits is one thing, typically over the top cute/borderline sexy costumes. Female YNs trying to up their black female counterparts engage in a race to the bottom, pun intended. Now big butts is to black women as big bewbs are to white women. Tell either that they are flat chested or butt and see what happens. Anyway, female YNs muse is Megan Thee Stallion who along with this new standard of affirming everyone has made it to where this subset of girls have no qualms about going anywhere dressed flagrantly inappropriately.

If your butt is literally out in public, if you're not concerned about the event you're now at, if at every other event you've been at dressed like this you've started a soul train twerk line in the street, LSU northgate--which is the only place where they've been socially in the area, a place where no money is needed, where their friends live close by and there's a DJ and copious amounts of weed--stood no chance. Damn you paying customers or football lovers!

These girls post EVERYTHING online, and they are all on apps sharing their locations 24/7. That's all that's needed for the rest of YNs--guys seeking to start trouble and the bulk of nonaffiliated kids who just are there to watch the free strip show--to flood the area creating a ticking time bomb. All those kids saw Kevin Gates at the UF game--a local YN hero --and the following 2 home games felt they were given permission to flood that area.

Solutions? I'll save that for another day but between my 2 posts that seems to sum up what occurred on Northgate at Highland. The commotion at the Ag center seems to be consequence of the LSU-SU, where many SU tailgated at the Ag center and a big subset seem to still congregate there still as a result
