Reply #2: Why is Loiusiana so racist? And have Dems abandoned the black minority there? [View All]

[Leopolds Ghost]

Just look at the lack of campaigning there (compare to North Dakota).

Dem strategists and policymakers have explicitly said "now that the state has fewer black people, it's more difficult to win" as if (a) that is their primary concern and (b) they are comfortable with it staying that way. The Louisiana State Democratic Party (see: Gretna, Metairie, St. Bernard) is a racist institution that would rather lose elections than appeal to black voters to win. They want to reposition themselves as the party of the white suburbanites and Cajuns who sent sherriffs to shoot at people trying to leave New Orleans on foot. They have no shame for what happened in Katrina. Even today, New Orleanians will proudly cite how you can get arrested for walking around without ID as proof that they are tough on the "remaining criminals" in the working class areas they want to tear down.
