Looks Like Louisiana is going to stay a Slave State



I’ve been doing this long enough that I can come back and say I told you so… We keep trying to get elected officials to care about what we care about, instead of electing people who care about the things we care about. You have to show up for that to happen. Louisiana was already a tough on crime state. We don’t need Black legislators helping create more ways for people to be harmed in jail. Especially when you can’t keep the grass cut on state property you have to drive past to get to the capitol. I was silent the two times she had me cut from the economic development district through legislation. I won’t be silent while you neglect the community in such simple ways Can you pass a bill next session to keep this here grass cut on the Earl K. Long property, since you focused on getting things cut… Sincerely, A Resident of Senate District 15…. PS. When you don’t vote, you ensure things stay the same. Voting for nice people ain’t never changed a Black community…

I remember this dude

When the other party is nonexistent this is what happens. The democrat party knew who this Landry was before he won the governor's race did they have a viable alternative? Did they fund the candidate who was running for the position. Personally for me the best thing to happen was getting on I-55 and getting the fuck out of Louisiana. I went back in 2020 and luckily got the fuck out again in 2023.
 
There ain't shit in New Orleans East. Those negroes probably glad that didn't happen now.

One of their reasons for attempting to break away was to stop what was happening and is continuing to happen to New Orleans East. Those are long-time residents who moved there when it actually meant something, to see it become a dumping ground for essentially the city's working poor is quite sad.

He tried to tell people to vote for the Democratic candidate in the last election and folks had more important things to do.

Folks will be in a modern form of State sanctioned slavery soon enough. I just don't understand the political apathy , shit is sad to watch in real time :smh:
 
The sickness in this country is beyond the limits any us can imagine. To even think of laws like this, you have to be a rotten human
 
I sick and tired of dealing with Louisiana and the peoples bullshit… Keep their minds in a state of ignorance. :fuckyousay:
 
Louisiana and Mississippi are the two states I worry about our people the most. Not because they can’t defend themselves, but because most are too uneducated to know they’re being attacked until it’s too late.

“I would have freed more, if they knew they were slaves…”
 
SC is a lot better than it was in the late 80s and early 90. Only a few pockets of unawareness in the most rural parts. NC is the same.

AL, MS, and LA is a problem and I’m not sure what can be done.
Woke black and white peoples moving there in droves is the only hope, which will never happen. States like MS, and Alabama, I will never set foot in…

Louisiana actually has a ton of democrats, the issue is in New Orleans they are mostly left, even far left-leaning democrats who will always support the Democratic party.

Once you get outside of New Orleans the democrats become centrist, blue-dog, and outright conservative democrats who either vote with Republicans to keep their seats or outright switch parties, for example, John Neely Kennedy was once a Democrat.

Without New Orleans, Louisiana ain't shit but the rest of the state hates us and will do shit just to spite us. Governor Jeff Landry is openly hostile to New Orleans and he's not the first governor or politician in general to be that way. The current New Orleans Home Rule Charter was written in 1954 just to fight back against the state meddling in our affairs and having control over the city. This has been an issue literally since Louisiana became a state in 1812.

Actually have politicians that support so-called black people. If that would happen, more would vote. Imagine that.

This country has so many issues that goes unaddressed

LOUISIANA, USA — Louisiana voters have rejected all four constitutional amendments in the March 29 election, keeping the state's tax, legal, and judicial systems unchanged. Driven by higher-than expected turnout, voters across the state delivered a blow to proposals pushed by Governor Jeff Landry.

See Complete Election Results Here


Amendment 1 failed voting 'No', meaning lawmakers will not have the authority to create new specialty courts. The Louisiana Supreme Court also will not gain expanded power to discipline out-of-state lawyers, leaving legal oversight unchanged. Supporters argued this would have strengthened the court system, while opponents worried about giving lawmakers too much control over judicial matters.

Amendment 2 failed , keeping the state’s current income tax structure and spending limits intact. This means no automatic tax deductions for seniors, no repeal of the property tax on business inventory, and no guaranteed teacher pay raises. While some viewed it as a missed opportunity for tax relief, others were concerned about the potential impact on state funding.

Amendment 3 failed voting 'No' meaning the state will not expand the list of crimes that allow juveniles to be prosecuted as adults. Louisiana's existing rules on juvenile justice remain in place, with opponents arguing that trying more minors as adults would have led to harsher sentences without addressing rehabilitation.

Amendment 4 failed , keeping the current system for filling judicial vacancies. Courts will continue to operate under existing election timelines rather than being required to use the earliest available election date. Critics of the amendment had argued that rushing judicial elections could lead to less voter engagement.
