and shite on one of the worst cities in the country



per john delgado-
quote:

We are currently at 70 homicides for 2017 in EBR. 60 of those have been in the city limits of Baton Rouge. This outpaces the per capita murder rate in Chicago by more than 25%. New York City has had 212 murders so far this year... for a city of 8 million people. If Baton Rouge were the size of NYC, we would have 1,920 murders.

Well, in the last minute that we just spent on BR, like 20 people were killed in Chicago and NOLA. Those deaths are on you.

It always worries me when a Southern city with a large amount of black-on-black crime elects an African-American mayor. My concern is that they are hesitant to crack down on this form of crime as it may make them appear to be insensitive to their primary constituency. Note this has nothing to do with said mayor's race or ability. I'd feel the same way about a Sicilian mayor expected to crack down on Sicilian crime. Politicians are known for focusing first and foremost on getting re-elected and, let's face it, cracking down on African-American crime would be a sure way for an African-American mayor to lose.

Why?
I doubt blacks that vote don't want crime any more than you do.

Birmingham is definitely a shithole. It just has more well developed suburbs. Several more years of white flight under its belt

Strong Safety says this is because we lionize the colonists of the American Revolution. We need to stop teaching American history. It's literally killing our kangz and queenz.

Woof. I thought Birmingham was going through some sort of positive resurgence.
