Mayor-President Broome Against St. George, Talks Money

Let’s talk about how the proposed City of St. George is just another form of legalized segregation.

Conservatives are the majority on the council. Literally they have 7 members which is what it takes to pass any measure. This St. George conversation is new white flight. When it seems that blacks are going to get a fair shake it’s somehow wrong. 98% of contracts in Baton Rouge go to white owned firms, not 60% not 70% not 80% but 98% of contracts go to companies that look like the majority on the council, not the majority of the city. Contracts to the tune of $300 million annually. Yet that doesn’t impact the income gap? That doesn’t impact crime? That doesn’t impact access to healthcare? It’s another form of taxation without representation.

Growth of black owned businesses shouldn’t be a problem, but a collective goal of everyone in this community because it creates jobs. Helps reduce crime, helps children have parents that can spend more time helping them with homework rather than working 3 or 4 jobs. Everything I’ve just said is rooted in data, including white flight when blacks begin to seek equity. So help me understand how creating a city 70% white helps us solve any of our collective issues that won’t go away if a new city is created?

Ive seen this posted by our gravy man. Is the bolded part true?

Article says net loss is more like 25 million as they would not have to provide certain services to the area.

Still... if St. George residents are paying 25 million more than they are getting a year... that right there is all the more reason to break away.

Let talk about how St George isn't legalized segregation:

Segregation gave governments the legal method of prohibiting blacks and other minorities from living in certain areas.

Are there any St George stipulations disallowing blacks and other minorities from living in city boundaries?

I didn't think so.

And who's problem is that, dumbass? You can't properly allocate funds now, but you want to bitch and complain that we want to break away from your stupid arse because you'll be losing money? can't have your cake and eat it too you ignorant frick.

and to be totally honest, i really don't care about north baton rouge. nuke the fricking place for all i care. is it our problem they want to keep killing each other? no. is it our problem they want to sell drugs around their schools and businesses? no. is it our problem they're poor because they have zero education and rather gang bang and work at the local convenience store? no.

get over yourself broome. no one feels sorry for you and now that youre not getting what you want, you want to cry for help? nope. not how any of this works. go ask your friendly north baton rouge neighbors who love you so much. go take their non existent money and watch how many of them love you so graciously.
