You are arguing with yourself. Can you point to someone that thinks lower income blacks in St. George aren't as much of a problem because they happen to be in St. George? You invented this.

so you want an argument? It’s been over 20 years - time to get over it



You posted this opinion very recently. Don't run from it now. It made zero sense and was contrary to the real world.

no, I didn’t invent anything

I replied to the poster that said:

This will all be on the campaign reel next time St George is on the ballot.
does this poster really think something like this can’t happen in St George? How will showing a fight at Istrouma help St George? Because people are automatically going to understand why St George wants their own school district? Someone in Monroe isn’t going to know the difference nor care.

I’m not running from anything - I asked if you wanted to argue - you didn’t answer- who is running?

irony is that you ignore a vast majority of Baton Rouge was shitty before Katrina - but it’s easier to blame Katrina transplants, although totally ignoring the truth that the ghetto, criminal element was already seeping out into Baton Rouge and 20 years later the place is even worse than it was before

Well, no shite, not many places are better than 20 years previous. Thats more of an Obama thing than a Katrina thing.

huh? He's saying pointing out the realities of the EBR school district will help the vote for a St. George school district.

That's the point. Show the video, anyone who watches it immediately understands.

Your arguments are very strange. They don't make any logical sense.

You were running because you tried to make it seem like I was bringing up an old (20 year old) argument. In reality, I was commenting on something you had recently posted. You get confused easily.

Nothing about that is ironic. I'm not sure you understand the definition of irony. Baton Rouge CLEARLY has its own problems and had problems prior to Katrina. And, of course, the problems it has now aren't solely due to Katrina. Again, you are inventing something by suggesting I am ignoring that.

But, it's an objective truth that Katrina hurt Baton Rouge.

we can laugh and make jokes and profile, and all rightfully so. but, there was a kid or some kids who's biggest accomplishments in life thus far, will forever be marked by this behavior. and the sad part is, the adults usually care the least.

Same people that got upset that they could play WAP large speaker on a carnival cruise.

I Guess asking them to be a decent human is racist.

Only people with low IQs do this type of stuff. Why would anybody want their child that is even halfway intelligent to have to spend time around these type of folks? They really are an embarrassment to the human race. And until their own people start to check them, it will continue. They don’t know, but they are a laughing stock.

Both my uncle and my father were graduated from Istrouma.

My grandparents owned an house on Ontario street.

I remember the going to the house as a kid.

My grandmother never got a drivers license because she could get everywhere on the city bus.

But that was in the ‘60s. Everyone worked at Exxon.

White flight was real from that area.

Pretty nutty, honestly, the devolution that has occurred.

I know someone who was near the action and you’re not far off. Heard the fight started as a debate about radical realism vs. sacred decorum depicted in baroque art and it turned physical.
