Wealthy white Louisiana residents win right to form their own city and split from poorer black neighborhoods.

[Voice of Reason]

From what the news been saying since last year, Atlanta bout to be next.

The Buckhead proposal died last year.


Black folks in Atlanta actually vote and exercise power.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Again Black folks need to control these states.

The governorship, congress, and Supreme Court.


We need to control at least 5-7 states in this country like we have been control cities since the 80's

How are you going to do that without a tax base?

So that white area is the sole tax base? In it's current configuration, how is the community being served? It can't be worse.

Rich white people some of the most corrupt mfers and it’s Louisiana.

It will be interesting when the rubber hits the road of just how much the tax base will have to pay to keep themselves separate vs diverting fund from a larger pool

No. What Minister Farrakhan said was, "if you refuse to live with us peacefully, then go your way and we'll go ours, BUT give us the resources to be able to live the same way you do. Don't just take our resources while trying to separate from us."

Again, this area GIVES resources to the greater BR? Baton Rouge leaders should be able to attract businesses, but not without work (better schools and lower crime).

Many places in Jersey are like this. NJ is lowkey one of the most legally segregated states in the country while simultaneously being one of the most diverse states. We have suburban municipalities that are literally 6 blocks long, for tax allocation reasons that's one of the ways we always are highly rated for our school systems....we cook the books via redistricting.

I didn't realize it was so bad until I interned as constituent assistant in the NJ state house. Its one of the reasons I decided not to pursue politics. This whole shyt gotta burn down to fix things.

Nothing new. Grew up in Jackson, MS. Saw hella white flight/new surburbs sprawl up for years (Madison, Flowood, Byram, Glucksdat, etc.)

Not to mention this CCID they’ve been trying to establish since last year:

The Mayor may still be able to screw them over with infrastructure like utility, water supplies, and/or santiation that run through Baton Rouge or are sourced from Baton Rouge.

I remember leaving Jackson and hitting the line for Flowood and the streets are instantly freshly paved and the high school looked like a damn castle.
