why would a black person want to bury their kinfolk in a cemetery that says only white people?

Poor Trigger Control
Oberlin La/Allen Parish isn't a hot bed of Mensa candidates.

At my grandmother's cemetery in Hammond, I can only guess it was intentional, but a large area seemed to be set aside for Italians with all others in a different area...

The fact that an employee read that and didn't think twice about enforcing it says a lot.

This is so bad that I almost don't believe it. There is enough here to assuage my concerns in that area, but this is the negative effect all the hoaxers/overreactors have when a legitimate issue comes up. That, "these things are almost always hoaxes/false flags/heavily exaggerated/taken out of context/blown WAY the hell out of proportion." This is a rare time when this is apparently not the case.

FFS it is 2021. I almost don't believe something like this is even possible, much less actually happened, but there it is.

easy there baw, that's a pretty remote-ish area(although not far from you, ) lot's of old stuff on the books as law in lots of municipalities mainly because it's forgotten, never comes up, spitting on sidewalks, for example, a whole lot more bazaar

Agreed, but it's not like black folks are aliens there. Allen Parish is roughly 1/4 black.

Pretty disgraceful thing to happen in 2021.



i could understand that somehow being overlooked as being removed as a by-law, but holy shite at the guy repeating it out loud to the widow.

That is all fine but dude has been the President of the cemetery for years and this is news to him? Have they not had a brother die in Allen Parish in 50 years? GTFOH, the boss needs his arse handed to him.

On the positive side of the story, if they do start burying black folks there white flight won’t be an issue.

Oberlin is such a shithole. Played them in basketball and had to get a police escort out of the gym every time. I caught a right at half court during one game and was called for walking.

Man, seriously, frick that place.
