Your turn:
1) how is he "maybe a little" full of it?
2) how does he have a point?

Agreed it's both, but not I'm equal parts. The lack of personal responsibility leads to neglect.
Does not make it right though. The powers that be should not imply "well they don't work and they commit crime so we will close their hospital and have bus routes few and far between.

I did not say blacks. I said north BR. the closing of the only hospital is really a big one.
NBR is practically all blacks. You didn't have to say "blacks" for everyone to know what you meant. The whole reason this is even a conversation because it's apparently racist because NBR is such shite hole

His excuse for moving to South Baton Rouge is pretty weak though.
It pretty much is why everyone lives there, it is O.K. for him, to raise his children there, to work there but not O.K. for the rest of community.
Maybe he should be the approving authority of who should and who should not live in North and South Baton Rouge, he sounds Fascist to me

I said this in another thread: the BLM's goal seems to be to blame white people for black culture. They consider focusing on black culture both irrelevant and offensive. It's basically saying they are blaming white people and for white people to disagree only proves that they are racist. It's such a fallacious and ridiculous argument.

Hear his intro to a civic law class and immediately dropped.
No way I was listening to that idiot for a whole semester.

, since when does a private business like a hospital have to continually lose money to serve a community? How long?
EKL was not private. We are not talking Menninger Clinic Hospital here.

Too many view the lives of people in north Baton Rouge as the cumulative result of poor choices, weak values and dependency. This is more than just lazy thinking. It’s an intolerable lie predicated on the erasure of all of our city’s and nation’s history. Like many urban communities, north Baton Rouge is the result of specific policy choices, social patterns and the toll that all of it eventually takes on neighborhoods, families and individuals. It’s a very American story of how black people have systematically been denied the opportunity to live in safe and stable neighborhoods. No amount of “individual responsibility” or “bootstrapping” will ever change that.
But then...

For me, it’s on the other end of the neighborhood in which my father opened his law practice before becoming a judge.
And...

A few years ago, my wife and I moved from our old home, a block from what is essentially the north-south dividing line, to south Baton Rouge to be closer to her job.
It sounds like a couple of generations of good decisions and boot strapping worked out fine here.

The lack of personal responsibility is the main problem.
So if the people in NBR showed more personal responsibility, in your view, the majority of the present-day problems would not exist. Right?

just another neck down scholar...dont sweat....folks like him burn off like morning fog without a barry and network tv propogating inference upon inference to the masses. Of course it helps nuts like Ruth Bader Ginsberg thinks she is a jewish grandmother....

Wasn't the point of CATS to fix transportation? Or is more money needed for some worthless service that no one actually uses?

Yes, it's frustrating.
If i dismiss the issue of personal responsibility, which covers an exceptionally broad range of societal progress and problems, I can then make it about what others haven't done for "my community" - you know, the same one I abandoned when my family became affluent (albeit not my choice because I was a child when my father became a wealthy attorney then federal judge) and then the same one I abandoned as an adult when I wanted to raise my kids and be closer to my wife's place of employment
