Louisiana looking like a straight up pro slavery state

[GreenGhxst]

Grew up in East Baton Rouge, spent middle school and high school years out there.

I didn't know shyt was that bad, schools were so segregated and the city was so segregated

that all I knew and went to school with were black people. Didn't know shyt was this bad.

I live in Baton Rouge...yea there is a lot of bad shyt here.....

but look...cats can avoid a lot of this shyt if they stay out of the system....

cats are out here killing robbing dealing...and getting sent to prison....

once you get convicted you are at their mercy.....

keep your record clean and you dont have to worry about this

there is a lot of that out there

This goes on in every state in america. The prison system is basically "Human Trafficking " black males.

But just look at the rate of incarceration compared to the rest of the us

1. I don't think you should be imprisoned for dumb and petty misdemeanors....
2. What jobs should prisoners work? if at all?

2. - None

I saw this when I worked for TDCJ. Prisons are sitting on 50-60 acres with crops, livestock, and all types of textile and craft shops.

It keeps them busy and at least they are able to learn something productive while locked up. Most of them have football numbers but going out to clean those gov't buildings is the closest they'll get to being apart of the outside world.

Plus the prison can use that labor to cut costs on purchasing from vendors.

You need mattresses or prison clothes? Create a textile shop.

Transport vehicles need repairs but the state won't put out money for it?
Open your own auto shop and teach the inmates how to repair shyt.

All those crops or livestock?
Process, butcher, and send it to the prisons so the inmates can cook it then eat it.



Dudes are already in prison locked up for some years, some deserve the time while other don't but at least while they are there we won't have to worry about them sitting around not doing shyt all day. I'm all for rehabilitation to avoid recidivism.

Pay them fair wages then.

it's like this everywhere the deeper south you go as quiet as its kept

i use to go to college in the deep south - i saw the hardest nikkas with gold grills turn into potato sack wearing c00ns when white people came around

"yessuh, no'suh,"

doing that little head bow shyt...and this was in the late 90's

boosie said the prisons in louisiana are just like the one in the movie 'Life'. dope interview too.

This fukk boy Vlad laughing and shyt. Corny ass cac. "So what gang are you in?" "How did you get shot?" "What's the longest time you been incarcerated?" "What drugs did you sell?" Wish folks went in there on the Peewee Longway shyt. Naw fukk that let this cac eat on Blink 182 and Marilyn Manson. Culture vulture fukk

I'm from Lafayette which other than New Orleans are the ONLY two places I'd ever live out here. I was just discussing with one of my employees that really isn't much growth for Blacks here career wise if you're not in the oil field, own your own business, or work for a Forbes 500 company.

As a young brother who is doing well for himself here they hateeee that lol. We do have some of the best food and believe it or not we have some BEAUTIFUL women down here

I dont agree with the mass exodus idea. Some of these southern states have almost majority black populations...the quality of life that comes with living among and around your own people is underrated. Not having to deal with cac bullchit on the daily and raising your kids in a healthier mindset >>

The real issue is the old, white-man run, archaic leadership and policy that govern these places. THAT can only be changed with a critical mass of successful black business and professional individuals (such as @Blazinn above). This will eventually lead to the rise of a political leadership class that can lobby and even vote in its own.

In the meantime, its important for people to vote in local elections
