and think I'm somehow fooled into believing that all of these people I know, I really don't know, and haven't really heard the underlying tone that's come out of all their mouths about why they want St. George

You think it's racism. I'll let you stand on that point. It's embarrassingly wrong.

I didn't say you didn't live in Baton Rouge. Try to keep up.

One of the real ironic things about your racism position is that you have previously referred to black people multiple times as "the plague".

That, my friend, is as racist as it gets and it's disgusting. As is typical, those who throw the racism label around are usually the most racist of anyone.

He has implicitly admitted that Baton Rouge's only hope is that the people of St. George solve the problems. He just doesn't realize that he made that point.

He consistently, without realizing it, makes the case for St. George.

what's hilarious about that, is that in most places in this country it's the younger generations pushing to move back to the urban areas of their cities, but not here, apparently it's old farts like me that get the reasoning behind that, and younger people like you who are going in the opposite direction of the rest of the country. I'm fricked up?

but you who thinks he lives in the real world are somehow under the impression that a st. George school district or line on the map is going to insulate you from that very same criminal element (plague) from taking you over, when you start leaving and running for the hills again, and it won't respect any of that.

---

What gives you that impression? Is that what you think the incorporation effort is about?

Yeah, I do.

I think people want to hang on to their white Baton Rouge areas as long as possible, and as white as possible, because the generation pushing it is of that generation.


Want to preserve a way of life? Then use your money and invest in Baton Rouge, and let's save this city both white and black from those criminals who affect all of our lives, both white and black, and mostly good blacks to be completely honest more than good whites. But not us. Were going to keep doing what daddy and pawpaw did, and see if it doesn't eventually work itself out.

You can't run from this problem, not far enough away, because there's not enough real estate to run from before you run into a body of water. You have to fight, me not for St. George, or for LSU, but for us, you, me, and all of us who live in this area, the same that if you were looking at it from space would laugh at how tiny the speck is that we want to actually divide it into us versus them. That's retarded. Either leave the state, move to a different city, or fight for the place. Your school district is going to do nothing but screw the lot of us, both BR and SG alike.

So, you claim that families that want to escape crime and move are inherently racist. But, then refer to the criminal element as "the plague", make promises that "the plague" is only going to eventually move to St. George when "multi-family" housing is built.

Dude, you are a racist piece of shite.

---

That's how I know you've run out of magic tricks. You've already lost the argument.

Multi family housing is overbuilt and more is being built as we speak. I've seen What overbuilding did to Tigerland and those who no longer market to students but people who breath and can't pass background checks required at other properties because they have mortgages and have to pay bills, and you can't pay bills when you don't have your market because it's over saturated.

You're ignorant, and your calling me a racist just underscores how very ignorant you really are.

quote:

---

Yeah, I do.

I think people want to hang on to their white Baton Rouge areas as long as possible, and as white as possible, because the generation pushing it is of that generation.

---

That's just because you are out of touch, so you've rationalized the situation to one that makes you feel better. Just pretend that that 100,000 people are a bunch of racists.

People are going to act rationally and use their money to put their families in a position to thrive. There are fewer and fewer places in incorporated Baton Rouge to do that. And, rather than changing that, you think the solution is to demand that people that don't live in the city move into and invest in the city.

YEither leave the state, move to a different city, or fight for the place. Your school district is going to do nothing but screw the lot of us, both BR and SG alike.

You are demanding that people that have lived in the St. George area for 10-20 years leave the state?

The people who live in the St. George area, and have for years, aren't doing anything to screw Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge screwed itself and apparently can't fix the problems.

Do people not get that cities need bus routes to hospitals? And now the Fox News style propaganda that is SG labeling this as their coming for your wife and kids on busses now, shows how misguided and afraid the SG people really are. Most of the people that ride busses use them for work. You know to provide a means for themselves. People complain about citizens not working and not contributing but your gonna bitch to high heavens about provided them a way to help themselves make a living? Wake the F up people! This isn't the 70s anymore.
And yes if you read through the SG website it's more about complaining about BR than anything else. There is some wack statements on that site. Very scary if that will be the mentality of a city.
