Imagine If This Were Reversed

Mary Norwood is set to become the first white mayor of Atlanta in 36 years and well, that's just not sitting well with several so-called black "leaders" in the community.

Quote:
Mr. Long said his endorsement was based on Mrs. Norwood's support of a local police chief and her call to develop blighted areas that remain in the city. But he was also a bit perturbed by a memo written by two Clark Atlanta University professors, which sent shock waves through the city.

The memo, written by political science professors William Boone and Keith Jennings, warned that black Atlantans need to act quickly to thwart a Norwood victory and maintain black political control of the top job in the city.

"With the 'Black Mayor First' approach, there is an unstated assumption that having a black mayor in Atlanta is equal to having a black social, economic and political agenda, or at least someone in office who would be sensitive to that agenda if not a full promoter of that agenda," the memo said.

The ad hoc group, called the Black Leadership Forum, suggested that blacks unite around Mrs. Borders, calling her the most electable black candidate. That didn't sit well with Mr. Long.

"You speak for no one," Mr. Long said in a letter to the group. "There are no masses of black voters waiting with bated breath to hear from you who the anointed candidate will be."

Black candidates in the race - including Mr. Reed and Mrs. Borders - also moved swiftly to distance themselves from the memo.

Imagine if this were reversed? I bet we'd see something like this.

I hope they get their all black city goverment stack-up. That way they will have control of their city like Detroit has enjoyed for the past 50+ years.
YAY! Go Blacks!.
Should they black out, what will go will be decent people, businesses, and jobs, heading for the burbs and outlying areas.

thats pretty much what they have had for quite some time.

if Hartsfield Airport were not the cash cow it is Atlanta would have gone down like Detroit long ago. of course the aero business there has not been hit as badly as cars either.

if this white girl is elected, look for Hartsfield to get privatized.

This is happening to a certain extent up here in Twin Cities. With property values increasing the cost of living in the city is also going up. Thus, in areas with traditionaly lower income households (which, usually also means minority households) those people are being 'forced' out into the burbs.

I need to ask bro but I suspect there are tax incentives for renovations. They did that where I live, had the same effect. I thought I saw a vague reference to that sort of thng with the candidate as well.

Here is a fantastic example of liberal bullshit, bullshit that supposedly DOES NOT exist in the liberal delusion.

The majority racist black race.

When Obama is booted after 4 years the blacks are going to fucking riot of weeks on end.

Perhaps, but to you, a guy who lives in a tough neighborhood where over 8,000 shots a day are fired, it won't be a matter of even the most trifling of interest.

To be fair, there will probably be additional shots fired in celebration...

According to the Swoopster, many of those 8000+ shots are actually shot into the air, so it's likely that people might not even take notice of any celebratory shots, given that it's literally raining bullets there every day.
