You mean Chauna is ignorant and delusional with a sense of entitlement? No way!

You shut your mouth. We all know they can live wherever they want, but we don't necessarily want them to know that.

I refuse to believe that the "white" portion of Baton Rouge is part of the problem. Quick story.

I have a cousin who is mixed. By far my favorite family member. He recently decided to meet his father who (shocker I know) was never in his life. Turns out the guy is in and out of prison and has 14 (you cant make this shite up) kids with different women. 8 of which are incarcerated currently, no exaggeration.

You fix shite like this, NBR is a completely different place.

She isn't advocating extra help for North Baton Rouge in of itself. She wants it to be taken from south Baton Rouge.

This isn't silicone valley. South Baton Rouge is predominantly middle class - many of which were born into poor families themselves.

I keep rereading it as well. How is someone like this voted into office at any capacity? Idiot.

She is just a continuation of the mentality that seeks to blame everyone but the ones who actually have caused the problems. With these people in positions of power spouting their racist agenda, we will only see more division because that is their goal. Distract people from the real issues so that NBR can get everything they 'deserve'. It is exactly the same thing they did with Alton Sterling. BLM is the same. It's all the same. Meanwhile, 90 black men and women are killed by their own in our city and all they want to talk about is the one man who fought the po-lice and was shot. There is no logic to their argument but that doesn't matter because they have the sympathy of race on their side. They can say and do anything they want with no consequences.

I just moved out of Baton Rouge after living there my whole life for exactly this reason. These people running Baton Rouge have completely ruined what once was a good city with crap like this. The mindset of these people are beyond anything that can be fixed since they blame South Baton Rouge (White People) for all the problems of North Baton Rouge.

How is that even possible? How is the average white family living in Baton Rouge responsible for the crap North Baton Rouge has become?

All I know is I just moved from Coursey/Stumberg area which I would consider South Baton Rouge and there were just as many black families living there as white families? Are they responsible as well?

Sorry guys but I gave up and moved to LP. I just couldn't take it any longer with people like Chauna Banks running Baton Rouge.

What exactly are the black leaders and communities doing to better their situation without relying on whitey to bail them out?

Im tired of people always walking around with their hand out vs looking in a mirror and doing something about it

Ill hang up and listen
