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.
they put white privilege in the report. wow.

The #1 issue for the "Race Relations" committee was St. George...
quote:
Issue 1: St. George Breakaway Movement
Why is this issue connected to race?
The campaign by a citizens’ group in the southeastern
portion of East Baton Rouge Parish to incorporate a
separate city after two failed legislative efforts to create
an independent school district has drawn national—and
unflattering—attention to the Baton Rouge community. The
proposed city, if created, will be named St. George. It would
instantly become the fifth largest city in Louisiana with over
107,000 residents.
quote:
More than 70 percent of the population in the proposed new
city is white, whereas 55 percent of Baton Rouge residents
are black and 40 percent are white.

The study also warns that the incorporation effort, if
successful, will reduce the revenues of Baton Rouge’s cityparish
government by an estimated $53 million. Such a
scenario would force city leaders to propose either dramatic
tax increases, drastic budget cuts to city-parish services, or
some combination of the two.
Seeking to “head off ” the renewal of the campaign
to incorporate the city of St. George ranks as one of
the priorities on which Mayor-President Broome’s
administration should focus. The Sub-committee believes
that a fight over St. George would be an unmitigated disaster
at a time when the Baton Rouge community desperately
needs to strive toward pulling together. If the St. George
movement succeeds, it will serve to further exacerbate racial
tensions in Baton Rouge, not alleviate them.

Yeah, Chambers is terrible. Not gonna lose any sleep over him being a member of the "information services/technology" committee of a mayoral transition team.
I'm sure his biggest concern on the IT committee was the development of a computer with a larger keyboard to accommodate his Snickers bar sized fingers.

I've directly dealt with her during senate debate (state level) a few years back and although we disagree on things she struck me as having a genuine love and concern for Baton Rouge.

Issue 3: City Policing
Why is this issue connected to race?
The Sub-committee understands that it was tasked with the
issue of how to better address and improve race relations
within the City-Parish. It also understands that there is a
separate committee established to deal with the Baton Rouge
Police Department. Our team has taken the approach of how
to possibly improve Race Relations within the Baton Rouge
Police Department and the community.
One cannot watch the cell phone video of Alton Sterling’s
death and not conclude that something isn’t right.

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.
These mindless platitudes are going to start some serious shite in the community. When you tell people they're evil but they just can't see it, then you're going to do the opposite of unification.

Currently, a small minority of the parish’s citizens would
have power to visit economic carnage on the rest of the
parish. The Mayor-President should lobby the Louisiana
legislature to change the law regarding the minimum
threshold required to bring an incorporation vote to the
ballot. This could happen in one of three ways:
i. Current law requires petitioners obtain the
signatures of only 25 percent of the registered
voters in the proposed area in order to force a vote.
We propose to increase the percent of petitioners
required to force a vote on the issue.
ii. There is currently no deadline or set time period
for the petition once started. We propose a
mandated timeline for petition completion (ideally
180 days).
iii. Once successful, only the voters in the
proposed area can vote on incorporation. The
administration should seek to amend the law to
require that any vote on St. George incorporation
allows all voters in the parish to participate.
Woooowwww

Jeez Louise, these are the people advising our mayor. We are screwed.

Are you all saying that race relations, community development, and revitalization of North Baton Rouge do not need to be addressed?
