Baton Rouge needs to divide into 2 cities. North Baton Rouge and South Baton Rouge so we don't get judged as a whole. Charleston, Little Rock, Etc all do the same.
Don't think it would help. That's like sitting one table away from the Smoking section of a restaurant back in the day. Didn't really add to your dining experience if you were a nonsmoker.

any chance this dumbass mayor will get it approved that it will be a parish wide vote and not just those that live in the proposed city limits?

With everything going on in Baton Rouge will all sides ever cast away race, wealth, etc and do what is right for the people of the city?
The current city leaders are doing more to divide Baton Rouge than any administration I've known in the past.
Many of them don't want racial harmony and a united Baton Rouge.

doubtful, because of agitators(fatboy)
And when Sterling stuff goes down, it will get even worse.

I can recall a time when Kip wanted to use Austin, Tx. as a model of how BR should be.
Seems like this current lot of morons would prefer to go with the Jackson, Ms. model.

ETA: BR is more divided than most other cities I've been to. I don't see that changing anytime soon. The faction that wants to bring the city together will continue to be overwhelmed and outnumbered by those who are happy to continue and fuel the divide.
If you wouldn't have added your ETA you would have gotten more upvotes

That's what's scary. All this bullshite is being stirred, and yet the true boot to the anthill hasn't even come yet

I never thought Baton Rouge was really divided until this past year. It certainly felt less divided than the Midwest or northeast. Or Memphis or Birmingham.
Then Baton Rouge became the sacrificial lamb for the Democratic Party's 2016 election year wedge issue and subsequent media frenzy.

But seriously, it kinda sucks leaving a place that's been home for so long but I don't see this place getting better anytime soon. And it will be nice to have the kiddo in public school and not worry about him getting accepted in the cool gang.

If people learned to live together in perfect racial harmony, at the end of the day they would still be living in Baton Rouge.

Yep, the locusts and carpet baggers descended and stirred up a frenzy, and then moved on. When we needed the media's help when the water was up to the eaves, they were nowhere to be found.

For all the good he did, that was a pipe dream. Kip and the metro council wasted tax payer money taking canvas trips to cities like Austin, Portland, and Denver. Those cities have very little in common with Baton Rouge when it comes to demographics. Ironically, Baton Rouge and Austin were roughly the same size at one point. Austin embraced the tech industry while Baton Rouge went the petro chem route.

Sure seems like it. What they should be doing is studying what Jackson did wrong and how it caused the majority of the tax base to flee to the suburbs. Now Jackson is a complete shite hole of a city that can't maintain its roads, replace streetlights, or even provide clean drinking water to its citizens.
BR's city leaders need to take a look at Birmingham, Alabama and the crazy progress they've made. From a population demographic standpoint, they are much more similar to BR than any of the previously mentioned cities. Their crime is down, their downtown has been revitalized, and new businesses are moving in. It all started with a core group of residents who finally decided enough was enough, and decided to take back the city they loved. Fortunately for them, the mayor and other city leaders bought into the plan. It didn't happen overnight, but now they're reaping big benefits. The same could happen in BR, but it's unlikely with the clown show of an administration that the city currently has.

Nope, BR's city leaders do not want peace. They want the people angry and upset so they won't focus on the fact that they're being robbed blind. They've got many of their people so blind that they are blaming a black quasi-public official robbing a 95 year old black lady on the racist media and establishment. Zero black leaders have denounced the scam, and all have backed the scammers to the hilt because it's "one of their own". Absolutely sickening.

Yes because I think a small minority of people are the ones who fuel the divide.
You take people like GC out of the equation then you don't have someone trying to lead people and telling them some silly bullshite just to further his agenda.

That really makes the irresponsible and hyper partisan media very personal. I haven't watched CNN in almost a year now. They are just a tabloid with a major partisan bias.
We knew that one community would be sacrificed over the summer of 2016 for the wedge issue that comes up every election year. You hope that it isn't yours.
