Black Leaders PANIC After Whites Leave City

greetings and salutations loyal viewers

of this channel my name is Shan and

today I want to talk about this

situation that I honestly had not heard

about until today and that is the

succession of the St George area of

Baton Rouge from Baton Rouge which

apparently was just approved by the

Louisiana Supreme Court and I want to

talk about this and the implications of

this as well as how it is being

addressed in the media by those who

oppos the succession of this little

territory now we're going to get into

this but before we I want to thank

everybody who signed up over an actual

Justice warrior.com jooin I give me the

money give you give me the money okay

thank you again for your support the

Louisiana Supreme Court today giving the

green light for St George to become its

own City with its own services and its

own schools many in Bat Rouge were

opposed to the plan fighting for years

to block it so after a nearly 5e Long

Court battle in the state of Louisiana

their Supreme Court decided that they

were going to rule in favor of the

incorporation of St George which is area

that is south of Baton Rouge proper that

wanted to break away from Baton Rouge

proper due to the fact that they don't

feel like their concerns are being

represented and in fact the very thing

that these people wanted prior to

actually breaking away and forming their

own city was to have their own school

district and that was rejected by the

Democratic party that's in charge of

Baton Rouge and this has led to a whole

Kur fuffle that again has led to a

5-year Court battle that again has led

to the creation of of a new municipality

called St George well good evening to

you Elizabeth the state Supreme Court's

decision has been the Talk of the Town

with people chiming in on social media

take a look at the map for yourself it

includes Shen andoa Old Jefferson

Westminster and South bat Rouge since

that map was created there were several

properties annexed into the city of bat

Rouge those in favor of the new city say

they won while the mayor bat Rouge says

she's disappointed by the ruling but

despite that the two sides are seeing

some common ground now even though that

is what went down you will likely hear

this being interpreted in a complete

different way and that of course is a

racially charged kind of way and you'll

see headlines like white wealthy people

decide to break away from Baton Rouge in

order to form their own town and to be

perfectly honest this is kind of exactly

what happened we win St George

spokesperson Andrew Morel says this is a

culmination of 13 years more than a

million dollars and thousands of

volunteers he says there is a St George

transition District that will help move

services from Baton Rouge we're not

dumping East Baton Rouge Parish we're

not leaving you're breaking away from

this Parish we're making this Parish

better so for those of you who are

unaware the city of Baton Rouge prior to

this split had a population of 220,000

people and in that population over 53%

of them were black or African-American

whatever you want to call them we're not

here to get bogged down on language but

the percentage of white non-hispanics

were about 35% well in St George this

new area that actually became its own

City according to this court ruling the

black population is only 18% which if

you're mathing pretty well what you'll

realize is that an overwhelming majority

of the white population in Baton Rouge

is in this new municipality called St

George in fact they lost 990,000 people

total in this particular split which is

kind of insane because that as the mayor

president B Rouge mayor Sharon Weston

broom says she is disappointed in the

ruling but says her Administration has

been preparing if this were to happen

the percentages the impact that it would

have on the budget uh what potential

Cuts uh would have to be made but she

stopped short of crunching numbers at

this point because she says the

plaintiffs could ask for a rehearing and

if reports are true it's actually a

disproportionate amount of their tax

base so yeah this is actually quite

devastating for the city of Baton Rouge

so just a reminder for you the effort to

create this new city as he heard goes

back more than a decade but it wasn't

brought to a ballot until 2019 when the

voters who live within the St George

area got to decide with a 60% voter

turnout for that election it passed with

a narrow majority just 54% the state

Supreme Court's decision was a close one

as well with four justices in favor and

three against now look there's a bunch

of different quotes from NAACP

Representatives that are going out there

about how they feel like this is going

to negatively impact the black

population of Baton Rouge there's also a

lot more cringe and insane kind kind of

takes on the internet.com talking about

how this is The Rebirth of redlining of

this is just white people being evil

white and racist but in reality in

actuality what this actually is is

democracy this group of people voted to

form their own municipality and then the

city of Baton Rouge who by the way

denied them a school district prior to

this which is all they actually wanted

from the jump decided that they were

going to sue them in order to prevent

their vote from taking effect and try to

prevent them from from separating off

and I actually got to give credit to one

of these NAACP guys that I saw give a

local interview because he said look I

don't like it I think it's going to hurt

the black population obviously it's

going to decimate the tax base but these

people voted for this and they do have a

right to form their own City more or

less this is something that a guy who's

opposed to this actually stated and I

actually think that's the fairest

statement that you can have as somebody

who's obviously vehemently opposed to

this and invested in this project not

working beginning and it will always be

my goal is to advocate for a United

Baton

Rouge I am committed to serving the

residents of St George just as I serve

those of Baker Central and

Zachary and in the days

ahead I will proceed to have

conversations to determine the best

course of action in compliance with the

Court's final decision now obviously

there's a lot of people including the

Baton Rouge mayor who are against this

they want the reunification of Baton

Rouge because they're obviously looking

at a potential decimation of their tax

Bas but also they're going to try to go

for the maneuver of getting a rehearing

because they didn't like this ruling and

typically when the left wing loses

something they end up calling for a

doover so to be 100% clear this is not

over in terms of litigation even though

the Reps for the new Municipality of St

George are saying hey why don't we just

work on making this separation as

amigable as possible instead of just

suing each other in court over and over

again it seems like the city of Baton

Rouge is having absolutely none of that

but Pearson says she will continue this

fight they think this case is over it's

not over until Friday week when we ask

for a re-hearing and specify the

mistakes that the Supreme Court made now

in terms of the education issue and why

this local area wanted to have their own

School Board it is important for you

guys out there in the audience to

understand that the Baton Rouge school

districts are among the worst the lowest

performing in the entire state of

Louisiana this is when you factor in

that the City of New Orleans which is

another city that's being run into the

ground another city that is going broke

also exists in the state of Louisiana so

they're doing worse than New Orleans in

a lot of regards not to mention the fact

that they also have to deal with a

relatively high crime rate again even

within the context of New Orleans being

a city that exists within the state now

also we don't compare and look for the

worst possible example in the state we

try to strive to better so these are

some of the reasons why the residents of

the newly Incorporated St George wanted

this to happen now a lot of people are

covering this as the black white

separation that is being portrayed to be

in the mainstream media and we have to

be perfectly honest even though 18% of

the new population or of the population

of the new municipality they're the same

people that were there before happens to

be black obviously there is a

demographic shift way in the direction

of the whites in this particular area

and by contrast on the flip side Baton

Rouge will have gotten significantly

blacker in terms of their city and while

a lot of people are quick to point out

that some black activists some black

leaders have been asking for this

separation the right to be free from

white people and now they got what they

wanted and they absolutely do not love

it I will say Baton Rouge has spent

about five years in court trying to

fight this separation so even if

somebody said that rhetorically at some

point in time in reality they definitely

did not want to lose this significant

chunk of the population again it's

almost half of the population that is

leaving not quite half obviously but

still 86,000 people leaving the city of

Baton Rouge over the course of the next

2 years once they finalized this

particular separation out of

220,000 70% of that population being in

the white population disproportionately

the people who are paying the taxes in

the city of Baton Rouge obviously spells

disaster for Baton Rouge proper because

guess what if they were governing their

City well in the first place with the

people in power then you wouldn't have

had the issue of them wanting their own

school district of them wanting more

autonomy of them wanting to get more

bang for their buck in terms of their

tax dollars before this and obviously

after this when all that funding is

going to be cut these already failing

schools some of the worst in the entire

state are not going to get much better

whether you were for St George or you

were against St George now is your

opportunity a historic opportunity to

create a city from the beginning from

the ground up it's your ideas it's your

policies it's your way of life and now

you can come together and put those out

there and have someone accountable to

you no longer accountable to some people

off in the city of bat Rouge or

somewhere else in the parish no they're

going to be accountable to you your

neighbors your friends and your

co-workers so when you have your ideas

whether again you're against us or for

us bring them let's create a better City

let's work together let's move past this

because as as Chris alluded to we're not

done we're just getting started and now

you got a time to be there and be a part

of it I do want to thank the legal team

they have endured so much to get to this

process they've heard all this

negativity all along the way and the

press and from opposing Council they

deserve recognition for their efforts to

stay in the course

now again I am fully aware of the fact

that there's these broader racial

implications that people are trying to

inject into this and the idea of just

cutting off and separating from a

minority population or minority

population separating from a majority

population in American context is

definitely something that's going to

leave a bad taste in people's mouths but

let's be perfectly honest about this

particular situation you're essentially

having a section of the city being

carved off into its own municipality

they're not building a giant mega wall

in order to keep these other people out

and making Baton Rouge pay for that wall

they can travel freely between the two

if residents prefer one particular area

presumably they could move from Baton

Rouge proper to the municipality of St

George or if they want to stay in Baton

Rouge proper then they could move back

over there into that territory if they

were so inclined but I'm interested to

see this new experiment and how it ends

up working out now my guess is because

they're not going to be controlled by

democrats and because honestly you're

setting up a new government without all

the decades and you know sometimes

centuries of bogg down rules and

regulations that St George is going to

do particularly well my guess is based

on the fact that Baton Rouge is not only

engaging in a yearslong court battle in

order to keep these people but on top of

that is now asking for a rehearing of

this particular case in order to force

them back into to this municipality that

these are the wealthy taxpaying

population and they are going to build

up and do things much better than were

done in Baton Rouge so I don't think

it's going to go well for the city of

Baton Rouge but I think that this should

be a positive example and honestly a

warning to other places other cities

across this country to the excesses of

one party rule the fact is we're seeing

something like this spring up in Georgia

now technically the Georgia Senate

blocked the neighborhood from separating

off from the city of Atlanta but the

idea is hey you know what if I have

absolutely no control but I'm committed

to my area if I can't influence politics

at all if the rules and regulations

become so crushing that I can't even

form a school district in order to

improve the schools for my kids then I'm

going to separate off for my

municipality and try to do it on their

own we're seeing moves like this in

other parts of the country again people

call it segregation they call it all

these different various things but in

reality there is nothing to stop anybody

from transporting themselves to and from

the city on top of that I believe

they're being funded by sales tax

largely so you can pay your taxes

through transacting over there and the

taxes are supposedly going to be

significantly lower than in the city of

Baton Rouge so I'm guessing a lot of

Commerce and a lot of economic gains

will end up in this particular area and

a lot of people will be leaving Baton

Rouge proper in order to go to St George

even if they're not going there

specifically to live but at least to

work thus improving their economy great

social experiment essentially what we

have right here is a twin study we have

two different halves of a city not quite

half for St George but there's a

population advantage that honestly

should favor Baton Rouge deciding that

they're going to govern in a more

Republican direction or a more

democratic Direction and we will see the

end results of that but you know those

are just my thoughts I want to know what

you guys think down in the comments

below should we not allow our

municipalities to break up in this way

or are you fine with people forming

their own City what do you think about

the racial component of this is this the

real undergoing principle or is it

frustration with the fact that you have

one party rule the Democratic party and

they wouldn't even let them form a

school district in their area despite

the fact that the schools in Baton rou

are among the worst in the state of

Louisiana all your thoughts down in the
