Looks Like Louisiana is going to stay a Slave State

[Politic Negro]

I know today is Homecoming at a few schools, if you’re up getting ready to ride in one of the parades, when you’re done go vote. If you’re going watch, stop before you go to the parade.
You will regret that you didn’t show up for @wilsonforla
if @JeffLandry wins. Jeff is dangerous to the future of Black people, women, and forward thinking people. We have some Black leaders riding the fence because they made money off Jeff while he was Attorney General. They might have got a check, but he was daily putting checks in place to ensure we didn’t advance. He will do the same as governor. Black voters and forward thinking white voters stopped the radicals in 2015 and 2019, let’s do it again.
Go Vote, TODAY and Share if you care. We need to get the numbers up to send a message. I’m using my voice and influence, I’m asking you to do the same.
The results: 2,970,167 Registered Voters - 927,444 Are Black

According to BGOL math, Louisiana is well on the way to reparations now.

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

Vaccine mandates and now the "immigrant" fiasco... anyone or thing

associated with biden is dead in the water. and not to mention the gay agenda

going after our children, thats all under democratic watch....

democrats had the house, senate and presidency and used it all for

fags, big pharma, ukraine and isreal....

they are unworthy of leading anything, much less a nation.

36%. It's a damn shame that people enjoy oppression. It's going to be a long 4 years with this man in power.

Somewhere, Tariq is smiling and proud of his non-voters.

 

[ronmch20]

I'm almost to the point of not caring what happens to those black people who are too fuckin' lazy to get up off their ass and go vote no matter how long it takes.

 

[Politic Negro]

Well, we're going to find out how the theory of sitting it out works for Louisiana. I'm sure they'll pass a law banning the word reparations and everything that associates with it.

Maybe people are tired of Dems not doing shit with their votes Yes lesser of two evils but these inner city locations are looking like war zones with 50-60 years of democratic support

 

[Pack Rat]

Can it get any worse? we shall see..........2023 and folks still not caring to vote

If this was a runoff election then that argument would fly. But there were 12 people running for that office and in Louisiana elections anybody can run.

People ain't even trying.

 

[Duece]

I voted early and voted a straight democratic ticket. Including voting for Dr. Wilson as governor.

This Cajun couillon is going to make Ron DeSantis look like Tim Wise.

 

[Camille]

Is this real?

There are some good comments under that tweet.

The bill is real and passed the state house. I can't find if it passed the senate or not.

New La. bill would give individuals access to juvenile criminal records

House bill 321, also known as the Truth and Transparency Act, would require Caddo Parish to create online portals where the criminal records of violent juvenile offenders above the age of 13 could be viewed.

www.ksla.com

Louisiana lawmakers want to release youth criminal records. But first, only in majority Black areas.

"Let's be real. We know what this is about. The optics are obvious."

[cashwhisperer]

smh......that's sad, because black folks in LA need to be voting the most, oh well

[knightmelodic]

shocking

 

[Duece]

Niggas went to Houston for the Saints game.

Jokes aside, this is an overwhelmingly red state and while New Orleans is reliably blue and legitimately liberal, the rest of the state is overwhelmingly red and even spots like East Baton Rouge Parish and Shreveport can go either way because people just might be naturally right-leaning democrats.

I tend to wonder, did Shawn Wilson lean a bit too left and should have followed John Bel-Edwards playbook of presenting himself as a centrist, if not right-leaning democrat?

the v
cities maybe, but not the state. The state and governor have much more power over peoples everyday lives. Now voting for local police is different

Landry was the attorney general for the last 8 years if he wanted to do something about the inner cities looking like war zones he could have, but he didn't. He went from tea party to Trump support, while dog-whistling to his base

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

Let's see how that works out for em.

How is what they been doing (blindly voting for a party)working out for them?

You’re missing the point…the post I replied to was talking about Blacks not turning out to vote…Why would they? What has the Louisiana Democratic Party done to give them enthusiasm to vote? Louisiana Blacks have top level unemployment, low graduation rates, High poverty, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge are shit holes once you leave tourist areas….So what the fuck are they voting for? To prevent a Trumper… that shit is tired the people want more as noted by turnouts

Doesn't even have to be a seasoned politician or a Lawyer to step up.

Have a message, and make people want to go out and vote for you because they believe. Not feel entitled that they’re gonna vote for you just because you’re a democrat.

Imo Better than it'll be now. but hey, if that's what they want then so be it. We shall see how this works out.

It has been stated that elections in Louisiana are generally held at bad times (football season, carnival time), and while I don't discount that there are Black people who are sick of the Democrats (one of the reasons I was initially attracted to the ADOS movement). It has been stated that people have a tendency to get distracted and if that is the reason they aren't showing up to the polls.

I agree with your first sentence. However, not every state is a this or that option. Just like Louisiana. You can run as a independent. You just gotta work harder at fundraising to get your name out there.

There are no primaries that are party-based to worry about.

Gotcha fuck your future when football and carnival season are taking place……..lol
