Yep, that's why I moved away from there 13 years ago. It was bad enough then but it's gotten a lot worse since then.
Years ago, met a sexy woman who claimed to be from Shreveport, “home of sexy women.” Couldn’t argue; but that was then.
We had a WHITE man from Shreveport work at our company. Raised in that area he saw no racism and said the blacks simply wanted the same as others and there was no difference between them.
After several years in our area he got married and took his wife to visit his family still in Shreveport. He came back a changed man.
In a private conversation, (I won’t say what happened) he simply said “Man! They really ARE DIFFERENT!”
No wonder they have such good football and track!
