re: Baton Rouge Mayor Sharon Weston Broome receives transition team recommendations

Put simply, the Sub-committee believes that Baton Rouge is plagued by our racial divide. People with privilege must recognize it, understand it, and act against it in order for our city to move past the divisive lines history has drawn. Baton Rouge must all identify where structural racism and white privilege create a system of preference in economic, political and social systems. We all must actively create offsetting systems that level the playing field for people of color, especially those living in poverty

The subcommittee can kiss my spotted, fat arse.

I haven't been following this thread but there is no way this statement came from the Mayor's office, right????

No, it came from her transition team which will, no doubt, influence future policy.

They are attempting to enact a social engineering program using your tax dollars as well as creating local policies that demonize white people in order to create what they deem as an equal society.

The building blocks they use to define the current state of racial affairs is something right out of a Berkeley activist's handbook. They are paving the way for a select group of people to determine who or what is essentially is an enemy of the state, i.e. precluding people of color from advancement, and allowing that group to target those entities. It's a policy that implies that their methods of destruction are a moral cause, if not a moral obligation.

Is this all starting to sound familiar?

Yeah
Thanks for the info

St. George cannot come fast enough

By the end of Broome's first term in office, Baton Rouge will be well on its way to becoming Jackson 2.0.

It's appalling how Broome's transition team has pretty much labeled anyone who supports the formation of St. George as a racist.

Gravy did, in fact, label every single supporter of SG a racist.

Broome could've done the same.

But Broome has been around EBR the entire time too.
First she was on the parish council, and then she served in both the HOR and the Senate in the state legislature.

She just didn't fall from a tree, after moving here from Wisconsin and after working at WBTZ TV, she got into government and represented the very neighborhoods which have declined so much.

I'd have thought she may have had some ideas as to how to better help these neighborhoods, but if she did she has kept them secret.
