He could have another season like this next year and would be safe. Now if it’s followed by a third, he’s in trouble

NAACP official condemns White politicians trying to replace resigning Black mayor

Posted by BowDownToLSU on 5/17/26 at 10:20 am

The North Carolina NAACP defended a local branch president, Corine Mack, after she argued that it is "seriously disturbing" for any White person to fill in as interim mayor of Charlotte after Mayor Vi Lyles announced her resignation.

Lyles announced last week that she will be resigning as mayor on June 30, saying her term has been "has been the honor of my life." While some are puzzled at her resignation only about halfway into her term, one aspect that has been noted is her controversy on the national stage after the stabbing of Ukrainian national Iryna Zarutska.

According to Axios, numerous local politicians are jockeying to fill the position, but Mack voiced outrage at the possibility that Lyles — who is Black — could be temporarily succeeded by someone who is White. As Charlotte-Mecklenburg NAACP president, Mack shared a now-controversial post on Monday, arguing that a White person taking the role would be part of a larger phenomenon of usurping Black representation.

quote:
"It is seriously disturbing for White folks to be lobbying to be the interim Mayor in Charlotte," Mack wrote. "Our Mayor who recently resigned is a Black woman who is a registered Democrat. While Black representation is being undermined and stripped nationwide; White folks are either tone deaf or worse ... self centered! It's not about YOU!

quote:
"In Charlotte, Black Voters have been intentional about having Black representation," she continued. "What is the consensus after several discussion; If the City Council votes a non-Black person in as interim Mayor again ... voters will hold you accountable next year."

Mack made a similar statement, doubling down to Queen City News by declaring, "Why would we replace the Black outgoing mayor with a White person? That simple."

She later added, "My question for the white folks who, up in arms and outraged, are they outrage about the fact that Black representation is under attack?"

Mack also defended the post on her personal Facebook page, arguing the outrage about how "any Black person who dares to have an independent thought and opinion."

quote:
"On our NAACP Charlotte-Mecklenburg Branch page, White people are losing their minds in defense of Charlotte having the right to have a White Mayor. Anyone can run next year! This year the City Council will elect the interim Mayor," she wrote. "It is very interesting to watch some White people in a frenzy about Black people loving and supporting Black people. Meanwhile, they create movements and spaces solely for white people all of the time."

I know that John Fleming has come out strongly against it but where does she stand? I grew up fishing in Lake Maurepas and I’m worried about the effects it will have in years to come. It’s one of the main reasons I voted for Fleming

They have done a good job of bringing in sand and making it look nice. HUGE difference from 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the water is still more like a lake than Gulf Shores/Destin.

Mississippi Gulf Coast beaches closed to swimming due to bacteria

Posted by BowDownToLSU on 5/16/26 at 6:27 am

The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality announced people should not swim in the water along the coast of Bay St. Louis, Gulfport and Biloxi after all three beaches tested for higher than normal Enterococci.

The bacteria can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea, said Dr. Eric Griggs, a health educator.

“It can make you really, really sick especially if you are immunocompromised, have open wounds, seniors, kids and pregnant women,” Griggs said.

The bacteria usually come from humans or animals on land.

quote:
“It’s fecal contamination from sewerage, runoff, animals and just storm water,” Griggs said

The closure comes as a handful of visitors set up along the Mississippi Gulf Coast before the summer rush ramps up later in the month.

Early vacationers are enjoying the beaches differently this weekend.

“We just got a text from somebody at home saying that the fecal matter is pretty high,” said Emma Duplantier, from Metairie.

Beach-goers are trying to enjoy their vacation near the water, not in the water. Don’t swim in the poo
