There's been articles about how the white democrat voter is on its way to extinction in this state.

Looks can be deceiving bruh. I'm a brown Latino Conservative and voted yes at the polls for the City of St. George. I'm clearly a racist

If you’re going to use the term learn how to spell it. It is “racist.”

Democratic party as a whole is going extinct. The name may never go extinct but the policies they once believed are no where close to the policies the party believes now.

Early St. George voting demographics


Two of my most politically polarized friends from opposite ends of the spectrum both agree St. George has the right to vote and the right to break away should they so choose. Both voted in favor of STG.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that STG fails to be approved...

They aren’t breaking away. They are incorporating. They will still be part of EBRP and Brooke will still be their parish president unfortunately.

I was thinking in terms of school districts... STG is absolutely "breaking away" from EBRPSS

I'm just pointing out that using "Democrats" in its place is equally as racist.


Ok, but you have to admit- 89% is pretty great odds.

Contrary to the myth being put forward by City Hall, of course it is anecdotal, but I've seen several black people on NextDoor saying why they intend to vote for incorporation.

Never underestimate how much middle and upper class black people (that earned their money the regular way, not race baiters) hate other black people

I early voted this week on Essen. Mostly older people. Not many black people.

But I was there for about twenty minutes and didn't hear any anti- St. George stuff. Also couldn't tell who was eligible to vote for St. George and who wasn't.

I voted last Saturday (9/28) at the fire station on Coursey and the St. George incorporation was most certainly on the ballot.


It was on your ballot because you live in the proposed St. George. Where you early voted is irrelevant.

Try again. NOTHING is the October 12 election will change the EBRP school system.

Yes, there are people who want an ISD but it will be another discussion, for another day, with another vote.

You saying that calling people democrats is racist is you being racist when making that assumption that’s what he meant. You sir are the racist.

Civil War- Republicans 1 Democrats 0.

Is that statement racist? You need a reality check.
