Wanna take a guess who it was?


quote:

A Black member of East Baton Rouge's Metro Council called a White colleague jockeying for the position of mayor pro tem a "bonafide racist" in a Facebook post Wednesday, potentially dashing early hopes of a less-divided council in the New Year.

Council Member Chauna Banks wrote that Dwight Hudson had shown himself to be prejudiced against minorities and said that anyone who supports him to lead the council is either a novice or shares his "harmful and divisive views."

It’s always refreshing to be reminded how incompetent, mentally deficient, and devoid of all ethics most politicians are

How does a person become a "bonafide racist"?

If I were any dumber I would’ve become a politician instead of an engineer.

it's fascinating how much the word "divisive" is used now

Apparently the left considers diversity -- of thought -- to be a bad thing

Sounds like a clear case of witch hunt to me.

I remember the spectacle these members, including Banks, made when Buddy Amoroso died and the lack of sympathy they showed his family. Lost a lot of respect for the council after that

Chauna Banks:


My, how things seem to have changed from just October:

Let me guess. The "racist" guy groveled and made made a big show of telling everyone how he's totally not racist. We'll never get anywhere as a society until people laugh this shite off.

It's as silly as being accused of being a witch in times past.

I love how immediately the race card was pulled just because a white guy tried to get ahead and not just concede to a black person for mayor.

That’s is beyond pathetic

He’s not the guy she wants for the position & doesn’t vote the way she thinks he should vote so she screams he’s a racist

quote:

In the Facebook post, Banks said that Hudson's opposition to agenda items related to police reform, the Council on Aging and a proposed settlement for Alton Sterling's five children made him a "tremendously problematic" choice to lead the council.
