Author Tim Parrish, an LSU alumnus raised in Baton Rouge, said in a New York Daily News guest column Sunday that he “grew up a Southern racist,” “learned how to hate at home and at church” and “drank from the same poisonous well as Dylann Roof.”
I really wish LSU could strip this a-hole of his degree.

I am unaware of a city, town, village on the face of this globe that is immune from some fashion of bigotry. If in fact he learned of such at home then the problem was at home and by extension those at home naturally navigated to those of like mind...church. I doubt seriously there is much here to see and this novel will be one of many quickly forgotten.
If he believes Baton Rouge was a hotbed in his youth he missed the days of MLK....I remember my belief that the city was about to explode and I didn't even live there...Was the home of my mother. New Orleans, that city of immense culture, was simmering as well and I vividly remember the divides...racial, ethnic, religious, neighborhoods, subdivisions, as a child.
It was what it was..cannot unring the bell...learn from it and make it better....don't dismiss nor fail to remember..but don't blame your community because of what you learned at home....He has the cart before the horse

If he's sensationalizing for book sales, he picked the wrong city with a website like TigerDroppings.
This has potential.

Mr. Parrish is spot on on his analysis of many of our posters

That was actually in the early '80's. Istrouma was still predominantly white all through the '70's. The low interest rates of the early '80's drove the white folks out in droves.
Low interest rates and the black folks seeking upward mobility. Don't sugar coat the narrative

hmm...so he leaves a state with a high population of blacks to go to Connecticut...a state that has about 10% blacks...but people in the south are the racists

I stopped posting on this board so much once Strong Safety came back. All he does is "trigger" the OT to say things that make it not worth posting here anymore....

You're deflecting.
The article has nothing to do with a comparison to Connecticut.

Well Parrish graduated HS in 1976 and Roof would have graduated HS in 2012. I'd like to think the world has come a long fricking way in 36 years. That's like comparing growing up in 1950 to 1986.

What are you really going to do about anything? Besides bitch about white people's treatment of the black man all the time?

I am shocked to hear there was open racism in the south in the 70's and 80's, shocked I tell you.

What does one have to do with the other in this case?
