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!

Most importantly, that's all she does.
She didn't provide even ONE example supporting her assertion

The majority of this time there was a black, democrat mayor. Still is.
What is she trying to say?

Most in North Baton Rouge that are employed are in the public sector - despite North Baton Rouge being home to one of the largest private sector employers in the region. Most homes there fall below the minimum value for homestead exemption so they avoid property taxes. Distressed inner city neighborhoods like North Baton Rouge consume more public safety, Medicaid, and public health funding per capita than more stable areas.
There is now a dedicated tax district for North Baton Rouge that will ultimately go to paying consultant fees and salaries for people connected to the mayor.
South Baton Rouge isn't causing the issues in North Baton Rouge. North Baton Rouge is.

Cool.... But why doesn't she speak ok the degradation of historically white neighborhoods like Sherwood or Broadmoor due to migration of black people in the last 20 years? It's not a lack of funding that's leaving these places in ruins; it's a lack of civility, character and leadership. Face it black people of BR- pretty much everything you touch turns to shite
