BR Council Woman pins op-ed in Advocate

This is the reason why NBR will fail. She thinks government can fix societal problems. It was never designed to and we certainly don't have the leaders in place capable of even trying.

My favorite part is that in her ridiculous analogy, a father is nowhere to be found.

She states....

"In the past 10 years and even today, the northern part of Baton Rouge has been systematically subjected to political, economic, cultural or social degradation because its residents are majority black. It is inflicted with several forms of discrimination: economic, recreation, retail, housing, media and infrastructure."

Until the attitude of the black community (and it's leaders) shifts from that of perpetual victimhood to a mindset of personal responsibility, their community will forever be afflicted by "degradation". FACT!

Haven’t lived in BR since the 80s , what exactly is that she thinks needs to be done ??
I went to Prescott middle , it was a war zone then and as far as I know it still is .

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.

So is she down for St. George, or does she only care about NBR and believe that serving people equally is below the great city of BR?

She would be appalled to know how much federal, state, and local monies are spent on the residents of North Baton Rouge.

Does she think we should build a mall?

Does she think a large office complex would be successful?

It would be fantastic to see north Baton Rouge succeed. I doubt, however, she has a clue what this might entail or would even like how an actual redevelopment might take shape.

Her letter isn't a statement of fact. It's a political rally call for north Baton Rouge.
