A dialogue of sorts on race relations is permeating through our national discourse. It seems that black women have a license to discriminate against white men and call us all sorts of racist names, because according to them their not racist.
A Mecklenburg County commissioner is
under fire for making statements with racial overtones that have some people
calling for removal – or at least a reprimand.
This time, it’s not Bill James, the
longtime Republican commissioner who’s been known to utter divisive remarks.
It’s Kim Ratliff, the board’s
Democratic vice chairwoman, who told WBTV that she’d prefer commissioners not
choose a “white male” to be the next county manager.
In the first story, aired Friday,
Ratliff, who is black, said the county needs a manager who is “a nonwhite male
who can have good working relations with all people.”
A second story, aired Monday, had
Ratliff standing by her statement, though she said she may not have used the
right choice of words.
On Wednesday, Ratliff told the
Observer that her remarks were “taken out of context” and that her intentions
weren’t to cut white men out of the application process.
“I was saying I want all types of
people to apply, not just white men. And black men,” she said. “We know they
are going to apply. I want women to take a shot at it. We have a lot of women
in leadership roles across the country. But a lot of times when positions come
open, women are apprehensive about stepping up.
It looks like the best applicant for
a job at Mecklenburg County is anyone but a white male. And to emphasize this double standard is the
circus, also known as the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial.

Could you explain this to me?
That's because they hate anything white, esp. white men. I can see why white men wouldn't date them. Too much piece of work!
