According to the 2000 census Covington, LA is 77.5% white and 20% black.

Hardly an "African-American town."

In fact, since blacks made up 32.5% of the LA population in 2000, Covington is a much whiter town than the state average.

Thats funny. Is Convington an affluent town??? I could almost imagine Cindy's gang attacking a black person in Covington, trying to force help on them with cameras looming, only to see the fearful black get into a range rover and drive away.
