re: letter to AG from NAACP

quote:

---

The city of Baton Rouge (60% African American) does not elect its own mayor and city council members.


Well, that's just completely false

His secretary mistyped that, or he misspoke. I think what he meant was that Baton Rouge residents should be able to elect their own mayor, without others not in the city limits voting.

I have always found that an issue. As Mayor of Baton Rouge, your sole concern should be Baton Rouge proper. As Parish President, you need to worry about the entire parish. I don't see how one person can have both interests at heart. Not everything that is good for the parish is good for BR, and vice versa.

But, I think this guy is an idiot, that needs to take a step back and put the race card away. Blacks shouldn't have any more access to services than whites, and vice versa. That goes for all nationalities and ethnicities.
