You really have no idea what I do or do not accept about the situation.

Remember Spar Stadium sat in one of the no go zones.
Quarter beer night on Saturdays in the Beer Garden. FYI. There wasn't a garden anywhere near the place. Just a beer truck stuck out there beside right field near the opposing teams dug out. The dug out was some folding chairs set up against the fence in right field. Good times.

Very well stated, RCDfan1950. It's uncanny how often I read one of your posts and think that you must be the poet laureate of the Political Talk Board. I mean that.

It’s not color bro. It’s culcha. That shot starts at the home. Teachers used to be neutral but they’re making shite worse. Entitlement, everything racists, and frick da police contribute to the downfall of almost any urban city. I’m not sure what the answer is but hug-a-thug and muh non-violents need to get out of prison is absolutely the wrong way to go about solving the issues. More jail... not less no matter what SJW white papers say.

At the end of the day, murders, violence and yes theft should be handled with malice by the judicial system. None of those frickers are “less innocent” than the next.

When you leave your city and it becomes a shithole, you obviously didn't do anything to help matters.

What's your solution?


As I mentioned, I really don’t have one that doesn’t include a spiritual revival. In my opinion it would also require the resurrection of the American father. I don’t know what that entails but I do know it isn’t another million observations that “black people are thugs” which we get as nauseam on this board under the guise of real talk.

Folks on this board can continue to stew in their whiteous waters or open their eyes to the fact that much of what we all see in the black community will be playing out amongst whites over the next few decades unless something changes. There are now countless fatherless boys being ignored by thousands of spineless dads and being raised by women who are spouses to their sons as much as they are moms. I’d be surprised if some of those spineless wusses aren’t among us right now maligning blacks.

You realize the whole state of WV is Shreveport and black people don’t really live there.

Here, I'll whittle it down for you. I used to keep my guns in a rack in the back window of my truck. Should be easy to figure out, now.

It's been on a downward trajectory since 1975, heck Shrevetown has deteriorated badly in just the last 5 years!

When I was in school as a young one back in the 60s, Shreveport had a reputation for entrenched racist attitudes. No doubt the population of color there, now a large majority, has a full victim mindset.

When I was there last week, I noticed that Shreveport had a new mayor. Last name of Perkins, I believe. They were going to have a report about his first 100 days in office, but I didn't stay up to see it.

PS - Which reminds me. My Dad only really watches 2 things on television. The news, and also the game show Jeopardy. They had a guy from Las Vegas who was tearing it up last week. He had already won over $400 thousand dollars. I'll have to call my Dad tomorrow and see if that guy is still the current champion.

Yeah, he fooled a lot of people by waving his credentials, but he's a complete fraud as a leader. He's playing race politics and is as corrupt as the loon he replaced.

Shreveport property and casualty insurance fiasco.

quote:

Under the new plan, the city has just $50-million dollars in property and casualty insurance. That's more than 90 percent less than before. Yet the city's paying $185-thousand dollars more.

The council voted to pay the invoice for the current $50-million in coverage to prevent a lapse.

But it voted not to pay a $250-thousand dollar fee to Frost Insurance of Dallas, which brokered the plan. Frost is the same company that employs Roddrelle Sykes. He was the broker for two other plans the Perkins administration made controversial switches on. And he was politically connected to the Perkins campaign.

When you put Africans in charge of a particular area, don't be surprised when it turns into Africa.

It's truly hard for me to believe. Of the insurance deal - you think anything comes of it as in removing this dude from office?

What's the answer to this problem?


The Federal and La Gov'ts need to stop subsidizing and encouraging single parenthood. Being a single mother isn't empowering, and no matter how strong or independent you think you are, you need a co-parent. Otherwise the deck of statistics is greatly stacked against you. Period.

74% of black babies born to single parent households is absolutely undoing them. There is no way around it.
