What was fricked up is that the City Council tried to, no wait - scratch that - DID, make this a racial issue. Their exact statements were chastising white home owners who came to speak against this facility NEAR THEIR HOMES for not speaking out against facilities in North Baton Rouge. Think about that for a second, I am a racist because I am most concerned about things that directly affect me? frick you Denise Marcelle. Serious? Well then your constituents are a bunch of racists for not coming to protest this facility being built in a white area. You know why shite gets built in the hood? Because your lazy arse constituents don't give a frick to go speak against it. Hell, even one dude that could make complete sentences shows up and says "building that here would be racist" and the council people would be falling all over themselves to vote against it. I am so goddamn sick and tired of the race card. Basically, besides paying for these folks food, clothing and housing, it is now also the my job to make sure corporations don't take advantage of their laziness and don't give a frick attitude.

And before anyone says it, I am not racist. I am against lazy do nothing's who take hand outs, smoke crack and sit on the porch all day. Whatever race, creed or religion they may be. And I am most definitely against anyone who calls me names or shames me for trying to do good for mine and what I have worked my arse off for in life.

Whew! That feels better.

Sadly You're wrong, according to the article in the Advocate the other day. Most of them are tenants, not homeowners. They have no voice. The owners of those houses they rent live far away, sometimes in other states. They don't give a frick what's built next to their property as long as they get that rent check.

Because of lower property values.
