The roller rink is near the schools. DeSoto Parish is
85% black[just the facts!]. School taxes in parish has
quadrupled in last 10 years.

The DeSoto Parish seat of government is Mansfield, where a Civil War battle was fought in 1864. As I recall, Confederate General Richard Taylor, son of the late Zachary Taylor, scored a victory of sorts here, but it had no implication in regard to the ultimate outcome of the war. Mansfield has been a Democrat bastion for many years. The town has a black mayor. However, I don't think the parish is 85 percent black. I would "guess" 65 percent black.

How far did I have to get down this thread before someone turns into a race thing?
