  • Louisiana is getting another city after a six-year effort by organizers.
    On Friday, the state Supreme Court granted the formation of the predominantly White City of St. George, which will be separate from Baton Rouge.
    The ruling is sparking concerns about segregation.
    Advocate Gary Chambers, who explained how this all happened in a recent social media post spoke with Roland Martin about the outrageous move to create a white enclave.

      I'm going to say this, the Louisiana Governor's election was decided back in 2020 during COVID-19. The current governor who was the State's AG practically secured his governorship via the radical actions he did. So honestly it was nearly impossible because there are more Right Wing Conservatives that live in Louisiana and they even live in the cities. Honestly, I think even if every African American voted he would have still won simply because places like Port Allen, Walker, etc. that are practically made up of more Conservatives than anything and the people that are on the fence typically vote along party lines.

    There's only one problem with old baton rouge. They are fighting this because st George pays 80% of the tax of baton rouge. St George has less business taxes so that businesses can flourish and much more employment. The mayor is shaking in her pants because she lost 80% of the budget. St George was only getting about 40% of total tax revenue for things like schools and the rest was for the rest of baton rouge. You can't blame them for leaving. They pay so much taxes and only wanted a school district. The mayor would not allow it so they decided to secede so that they could finally get their own school district.
    Baton rouge is screwed now that no one is paying enough taxes to even pay the city employees let alone the rest of the budget

      They are NOT taking black people money out of the system! That is such an ignorant statement!!! You really think they can reach into the pot and take whatever they want.
      These are people that have worked hard in life and paid the highest taxes! Therefore they are reaching in the pot and ONLY pulling THEIR tax dollars to fund THEIR new city. Why do you allow other BLACKS to keep lying to you.
      I listened to the entire Q&A session after St. George won and guess what the BLACKS that live in St. George voted for this too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Trying to make this a race thing is absolutely asinine!
      People are tired of failing schools, soft on crimes policies etc… Why should St. George have to subsidize, finance a city that they don’t receive services from???? They were an unincorporated part of BR! I would never let a race baiter on you tube tell me anything without doing my OWN research! I am a successful BLACK WOMAN and I would never ever put my tax dollars in poorly managed city filled with corruption.
      This is the most infuriating thing about the culture. Always complaining about the white man and when the white man takes his money and puts into his own community he’s labeled a racist.
      Why can’t the black culture just make it on their own without the white man’s help? What is the problem! I choose to live in a community that will thrive, protect the citizens from crime and actually prosecute criminals, demand better education, and the city is so secure businesses will break their neck to serve in the community➡️Are any of these things happening in BR?
      Just remember blacks that live in St. George don’t want the problems of BR!

      Oh really! This has been going on for a while. Like Gary said, it started with them wanting their own school district. The previous Mayor shot them down. Then they came back with creating their own city. The lines look like a jigsaw puzzle. Cut out any area that was low income. We've had some business who did not want to be apart of this new city and removed themselves. They tried to grab the mall and all of the hospitals. They feel like they pay the most in taxes and all they see is improvements going to North BR and Mid-city. Those are the areas that need it. Their area of town has been getting most of the improvements. This affects schools. Families may have to sell their homes to be in the area of their kid's school b/c they don't want to pull them out of a school they're satisfied with. A bunch of mess.

    Seems odd a large city would not build schools for all their tax payers. It is confusing when color is put into the situation when we just had a push for segregation with CRT. If they were not given opportunity with their tax dollars for schools seems tax dollars are taken away from certain areas. St. George will either fall on their face or succeed. But taking tax dollars from areas seems to have caused the problem. Maybe if they had spread the tax dollars out Baton Rouge could of kept their tax bases?
