View Comments BATON ROUGE  A distinct racial tension is threading through many Louisiana House debates this legislative session, becoming a more prominent undercurrent in the chamber on issues ranging from education and voting to crime and policing. Emotional, angry and awkward debates between Black lawmakers and conservative white lawmakers in the House have emerged repeatedly, seeming only to intensify as the nine-week session continues. Race isn t always openly discussed, but is clearly the point of divide in several disputes. “I feel like this is a special session on race relations,” said Houma Rep. Tanner Magee, the House s second-ranking Republican. Baton Rouge Rep. Ted James, the Democrat who chairs the Legislative Black Caucus, said of the strains in the chamber: “I don t know where it’s coming from, but it’s obviously an undercurrent.”
