Wealthy white Louisiana residents win right to form their own city and split from poorer black neighborhoods in landmark court ruling after a 10-year battle​

  • St George will have 86,000 residents across a 60-square-mile area
  • Critics of the new city say the plan is 'racist' and will create a 'white enclave'
  • Baton Rouge residents fear move will be economically devastating for their city
Wealthy white Baton Rouge residents have won a decade-long court battle to split from poorer neighborhoods and form their own city with plans for better schools and less crime.

The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the new City of St George could move forward with incorporation, splitting off from the rest of Baton Rouge.

St George will have 86,000 residents across a 60-square-mile area in the southeast of East Baton Rouge Parish and will have its own Mayor and city council.

Supporters of the new city say that the existing city-parish government is poorly run, with high crime rates and bad schools.

Opponents say the movement is 'racist' and will create a 'white enclave' as it separates a wealthy area of the city from the majority Black city and school district.

Leader of an anti-St George campaign group, M.E. Cormier, told the New York Times: 'There is no basis in fact that the existence of St. George is positive or will bring positivity or have a positive impact on any areas of the cities or the parish.'
Plans for St George started nearly 15 years ago when residents decided they would like to start their own school district.

Their plans then grew more ambitious and in 2015 they drew up a proposal to create their own city.

The proposal didn't get enough votes and the movement ground to a halt until 2019, when a second ballot to incorporate St George passed, with 54 percent of residents voting in favor of separation.

A lengthy court battle followed, with Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and Mayor Pro Tem Lamont Cole suing St. George organizers soon after the election.

They argued that St George would siphon over $48 million in annual tax revenue from the city-parish government with serious knock-on effects for local services and staff.

They claimed that the loss in revenue would mean services would have to be cut and employees laid off and that St George's proposed internal budget was inaccurate and that they would not be able to be self-sufficient.

Lower courts in Louisiana supported Baton Rouge's arguments, and shot down the proposed new city.

But now the state's Supreme Court has overruled their decisions, saying that the internal budget is balanced and will be able to provide public services, meaning St George can incorporate.

Critics of the St. George proposal argue that it would create a poor, black, and urban Baton Rouge and a wealthy, white, and suburban St. George.

Posting on Facebook, resident Sarah Stelly wrote: 'St George reeks of class division, it's quickly becoming the new worst type of bigotry.'

Another resident, Paul Brady, wrote: 'The segregationist won. I'm no longer a citizen of Baton Rouge. I now live in the white enclave of St George.'

Leader of an anti-St George campaign group, M.E. Cormier, told the New York Times: 'There is no basis in fact that the existence of St. George is positive or will bring positivity or have a positive impact on any areas of the cities or the parish.

'The detanglement, logistically speaking, is going to be an absolute nightmare.'

But Andrew Murrell, a leader of the St George project, told the paper: 'This is the culmination of citizens exercising their constitutional rights.

'Now we begin the process of delivering on our promises of a better city.'

Fellow campaign leader, Norman Browning told The Times: 'I look forward to our ability to build an efficient, productive and vibrant city while contributing to a thriving East Baton Rouge Parish.'

The split campaign emerged out of the ashes of a failed campaign to create a new school district by the wealthy, predominantly white residents of southern Baton Rouge
A 2014 study by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber found that the effects of the partition would be economically devastating for the remainder of Baton Rouge, immediately creating a $53 million budget shortfall.

The study also raised concerns as to whether the remaining portions of Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s state capital, would be able to support public services despite the loss of tax revenue.

As the tables below shows projected figures for St. George would create a town with an average income $30,000 higher than present day Baton Rouge, while the unemployment rate would be halved.

According to figures compiled by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, the new town would have a majority white population, as opposed to Baton Rouge which has a black majority and the number of people receiving food stamps would also be more than halved.
 
So now we have Orania in the United States
came here to say this. enjoy your stay Amerikäner

I fully support sectioning off the ghettos of all major cities in the country. My insurance and tax rates would decrease immensely.
buh buh then it'd be like district 9! come on you have to be nice, bro multiculturalism will work just one more try dude just one more try don't listen to Enoch Powell bro please bro it's gonna work just give it another year
 
This is a great lesson that other cities around the US should pay attention to, as it seems many have forgotten; The government serves at the leisure of its citizens. Baton Rouge was no longer serving the needs and desires of the newly forming St George, and they used due process (instead of violence) to secede.

They were tired of the woke bullshit, paying for higher crime rates and ever worsening schools, so they took their money and went home. Bravo.

NorCal, nows your chance at forming "New California".
 
Calling it already. The first legislation St. George passes will be to force gender ideology into their schools, force incels in dresses into womens' bathrooms, and jail people who object to neoliberal gender ideology.

That's what rich people do after all. Molesting children and banning all speech that hurt their fee fees or hurts the fee fees of faggots and trannies.
 
If the whites go off and form their own city you're now a 100% diverse paradise free from racism.

Why do these pyramid-builders of Kemet still need tax money from Yakub's ice devils if the strong, proud, BLACK kangz and queenz are only living in shithole ghettos because of racism? This place should be Wakanda in a decade if what the movies and TV tell me is true.
We’ll, perhaps not kangz but they do have Mayor-Prssidents:
Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and Mayor Pro Tem Lamont Cole
 
Eh looks like it's 70% white and a (seemingly sustainable) 12% black. Vs. the overall city at 55 black / 35 white, meaning St. George's residents would never have been represented in local politics again.

Funny how they frame it as the "wealthy" residents, then note the 30k higher average income (almost certainly household rather than individual, and therefore exaggerated by the intact two-earner families vs. widespread single motherhood).

Baton Rouge's average income is 50k which is hardly poverty, and that makes St. George's 80k which is hardly wealthy. It means the former has a huge government middle class paid for by the latter who are slightly higher middle class professionals (or employ raycist strategies like marriage).
That's the truly hilarious thing in this. The people voting FOR St George, the ones voting to escape being robbed by the Baton Rouge Government and getting nothing in the way of services in return, are mostly Louisianna State Government employees.

No one- and I mean no one- protects their sinecures more ferociously and embodies the fuck you got mine ethos than public employees.
 
Nobody is gonna challenge that if blacks came up with that idea first. I mean blacks r kweens n kangs so what's the problem of whitey leaving the blackies alone and have their own prosperous community made by blacks? They're always bitching about yakubs offsprings so it should be a good thing no? 🤔
Just look at the successful country of Liberia.
 
The poor part around the Indian streets and 110 are FRIGHT OUTSIDE THE FUCKING GATE of a large ExxonMobil chemical plant, with an abundance of jobs and support services, and the local population STILL can't provide people who can clear the requisite background checks and experience to qualify as a laborer on a turnaround.

It's going to be hilarious when the shopping centers in Baton rouge all pick up and move a couple blocks over into the ethnostate.

They left the shopping centers in BR, including the mall of LA, and there's STILL going to be a budget shortfall.
 
The irony of this, is that St. George gets the only remaining mall in the area.

Nah, pretty sure the area will be pretty conservative. Most of Baton Rouge is really conservative, not counting the LSU campus.
 
Unironically based. really good points being made in this thread. throwing up all kinds of roadblocks and lies about budgets not being balanced to just deny some peace for people. good on them. i hope other areas take note.

homogenous societies are high trust. there's that "surprising" study about how the most diverse areas have the lowest civic engagement, and all kinds of metrics of just being proud and having community. blacks for the blacks, whites for the whites.
 
I'm for and against it.

A wealthy area of a city may coexist with a poorer area in many cities because the wealthy area has services provided to it by the persons within the poorer area, so in an area with high incomes you'll often find the people that service that area live not within that area.

The wealthy opting to have their own city and let the neighboring one starve without their tax dollars isn't a long term winning solution. But I get their desire to have such and support that.

Residents could do this in a number of cities around the country, but all that will happen is the areas on the outskirts will fall deeper into failure, and like a disease it will impose upon the perimeter of the affluent neighborhood. As the neighbor gets more trashy, the perimeter properties of the fluent one will start to suffer, their prices will drop, and then as the disease spreads, it will gobble up more of St. George.

Anyways, will be fascinating in 15 years to see what the result actually is.
What's going to happen is that eventually most of South Baton Rouge is going to get annexed if I had to guess. Areas north of LSU all the way to the airport will go to Baton Rouge (along with LSU itself) and everything south will become St. George.

In the end, it’s just codifying a situation that already exists into law. Baton Rouge really is a tale of two cities.

BR still has all of the businesses, shopping, and plants. St. George is mostly residential.

I think the main problem is that even WITH those residents, the city was mismanaging funds so bad that NO schools, roads, or anything really was in proper working order. They should have focused more on schools and less on BREC.
 
I'll bet you there is nothing in St. George's laws or ordinances that says only whites can live there (though there should be). These people simply want the representation they should receive as US citizens, and their "leaders" under the Baton Rouge city government weren't providing it to them. This is absolutely how a Consitutional Republic is supposed to operate.

Besides, now all those diverse people can try their hand at building their own little Wakanda all on their own, through their own hard work and guile, without the racist white man's filthy blood money or unwanted input. The parish is all theirs now.
 
And for no particular reason at all, this separation will bring back safer streets, effective education and a return to a trusting society. Watch as the Feds try and gut this process because it will make their DIEshit and their diversity initiatives look bad.
