5:20, 6:40, 7:45, 9:30 funny how the anti St George crowd never once say anything like, "We understand your concerns, here is what we're doing to address them"

"Stick together" instead of "No more fight videos going on Youtube"

White people been separating form blacks, private schools jumped with integrated schools. Blacks have to plan for themselves to move ahead .

@shellysdolls April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

improve the schools and things like this won't be an issue

@Bra-a-ains April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

St. George doesn't want separate but equal. They want separate but better. They have been forced so far to be united and inferior. Baton Rouge has the worst public schools in Louisiana and refused to improve them.

@AcieWHA April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

I looked it up and can’t find a St George community in Baton Rouge.. or a SG city to itself. Nor a school… So did the plan not get passed? Only St George near Baton Rouge is a private catholic school.

My family lives in the house we have primarily because of the school district. Our house is okay, but we could've gotten a lot more house for our money if we had bought just down the street. The problem is, although the neighborhood is nice, the city school district is not. So we made the trade-off, smaller house with better schools. There was a riot not too long ago at the high school my kids would have attended had we bought the other house.

If certain students bring g all the others down, what about the Ines bejng brought down?

@maryduhon9769 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Instead of pulling everyone up, bussing has pulled every student down

Forced intergration is evil

@maggietinsley2516 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

it isn't color that divides, it is behavior.

@maggietinsley2516 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

students that can't behave need to go to a detention center for their education.

@facialsonDemand April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

If you are busing gang members into a separate school to break them up and busing children from that school to the schools, the gang members came from you are just spreading the crime around.

This has happened because both sides, black and whites, have chosen to break this system down. #1 the system has been sabotaged by those bigots who choose not to accept and promote racial harmony among the students. Their are those at home that promote gang violence, illegal drugs, that dog eat dog mentality, or to put it nicely survival of the fittest. Much of this has been created and promoted because society has turned its back on the poor, be it black or white, and has chosen to impoverish more and more of them by allowing bussiness to shut down and move to other countries all because of greedy CEOs wanting larger salaries will laying off and taking the jobs away from those who worked hard to build and sustain the company. They took their jobs and pocketed the profits because they knew money and unity created power, and they didn't want that power to get stronger and wealther. So now that they have control in the Supreme Court, they have the ability to make change and that's what they are going to do while others are distracted with violence, mayhem and those actions (sin) that destroy communities including music that promotes anger, disrespect, hate for your fellow man, a since of division , and lawlessness just to name a few. Now, they who had the power to promote a sense of unity are looking to divide themselves from the rest of society. That has always been the focus of many. The times have changed, but their attitudes and ideology haven't.

@mistergoodcitizen9914 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

These people don’t want their kids to be held back.

@mbdagreat April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

It's amazing how these folks from the wealthier neighborhoods can't grasp the racism they are perpetuating. Instead of working together to build stronger communities and schools, they behave how every white person who's disillusioned by white supremacy acts, cowardly. And if you go back 2-3 generations in their lineage you may find ancestors who were enslavers and BENEFITED from owning enslaved people and established wealth that wasn't there's to begin with. What about these kids who have wrongly been dealt the short end of the stick to ensure you're comfortable in your white, affluent neighborhoods? Who are you to deserve such privelige?!?! But today they have the nerve to sit here and talk about wanting to separate themselves. You can run but you can never hide from the shame and guilt of history that makes you who you are today. Smdh

@CharityLuster April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

A preacher saying you must do what is right for your pocketbook is sickening

@dquan731 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

I don’t think kids should have to be bused all over town to achieve racial integration. It’s not fair to the kids. At the same time, I do recognize there is a vast gulf between races in academic resource and achievement and that has to be addressed. Why can’t we simply give more dollars to the lower performing schools so they can renovate the buildings, buy new equipment, hire better teachers? They need more money because they have to catch up.

It is funny that these pro separatist claim they are supplementing poorer neighborhoods. Where do you draw the line? If I’m a higher income earner living in a mansion, I pay more taxes, does that mean I shouldn’t have to supplement these poorer middle income families? Should I get to carve out the neighborhood and create a school only for the top 10% of the population; what about top 5%? Top 1%? And leave the rest to rot?

@sasachiminesh1204 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

White suburbs with money separating schools is about denying tax money to students of color. This is all about white people enjoying their inherited race privileges, which include access to good $ jobs, not wanting to pay back anything to blacks who inherited dis-privilege and never received reparations, their 20 acres and a mule, or even a fair shot at upward mobility. It's about keeping your own rich and privileged while closing the door on others.

@keithinaz9769 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Single mom, 4 kids, right off the bat. Big shock.

@Aristocles22 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

St. George had every right to be formed. The people who were paying for the school system were being ignored. And yes, while St. George is mostly white, it is still more black than the country overall, with about 20-30% of its residents being black, as opposed to 13% nationwide.

@uiolax1967 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

If you don't want separation, then do a better job!!

@aliettienne2907 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

25:09 It's confusing that they think that the poorer class students is the problem to a better school, when they're also failing to realize that the poorer students are disproportionately black students. Confusing 🤔💭🧐💭🤔

@Kingjojo223 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Don't force to be in the same building as these people. My people should rewatch Malcolm x speeches. Smh. Only the south I swear🤦🏿

@ashleywyatt7114 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Tax those churches and give those funds to our public school system

@SamuelDM780 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Take the blacks out of the areas. And the schools that remain "white" will shrink and disappear. Turn it around to truly understand.

@stormwarning1235 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

St. George is NOT PART OF BATON ROUGE. NEVER HAS BEEN. There is nothing to break away from!

@SIKE01 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

it's taxation without representation NOT separate and unequal l FRONTLINE

@johntillotson4254 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

You can tell the principal loves his students

@johntillotson4254 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Its tied to racism

@Normanx964 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

The BR mayor has very weak arguments and is living in delusion. My hometown of Wash DC used to be only 40% white from 1962-1995. Now it has gentrified and is mostly non-black mixed race. Sadly it is a much better city with new businesses and safer neighborhoods than in the old days. I wish I had better answers for society in general, but gentrification works for the majority. The whole world is highly tribal still despite efforts to mix us together. No, Im not racist. Facts are facts. People by and large want to live with their own kind at a similar financial level.

@vivalaleta April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

Racists trying to turn the clock back to 1940.

@costilla1212 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

"Student population is 11% white"
That's Horrifying
I would've gotten my kids out of that war zone years ago 😂

@christinenelson1058 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

If you are looking for a good education for your kids simply home school and then you don't have to deal with the politics and your kids don't have to be exposed to the bullshit politics
Eventually the teachers union will wake up when they lose their jobs because your kids' butts are not in their chairs because they don't get funding from the state or the Feds. (FOLLOW THE $$) This is not about color.

@babyboy770 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

It all revolves around providing equal resources to all areas. Busing wouldn't have been necessary if the local governments would have equally distributed funds and resources.

Parents also need to be involved in their children's education. I have many friends who are teachers and they can all tell which parents don't work with their children. The state of Louisiana has had decades of racial disparity when it comes to education and policing. And as stated in the video, people are becoming more segregated along economical and social lines. It's happening all over the country.

Btw, some of the most covert racist rhetoric are phrases like, "we aren't racist, we had/have a black (insert any political position)." Okay, but what does your church look like? When you look around your dinner table at a party, who is there? Who are your neighbors? It's easy to not see color/prejudice/bigotry when everyone looks like you. And that goes for all groups, not just Caucasians.

@carissafisher7514 April 17, 2025 - 2:15 pm

You should always be able to choose what school you want to go to no matter where you live. Property taxes is a wrong way to pay for schools. Every child should get equal funding, no matter where they live. Equal funds for all children! That guy got sent the principala office as a kid…. doesn't seem like things have changed for him. Good people want a good education for everyone.
