Color Is Not The Cause


Lately every time a Black candidate loses an election or is removed from an appointment. The reason given in Memphis, is always racism. In an offbeat sort of way that could be an underlying factor. The actions far more than outweigh the accusations. When you consider this is a predominately Black electorate, with mostly Black officials. It makes it hard to build a case against the White man. When you take into account all the reasons involved, racism comes in next to, if not last. This guy needed to be removed in my opinion. He has done a poor job and he has peddled his influence on the board. If his partners in crime get caught up it shouldn't bypass him. Mr. French has had I think a more than generous run, under this Herenton administration. Prior to this Mayor appointing him to several positions, being a fired policeman is the extent of his experience. When the fit hits the shan, I don't think he should be surprised. Two of his campaign supporters have been called on the carpet and temporarily closed. The connection between them is undeniable. He has been lenient with fines, and generous with permits. The idea that it doesn't matter who you associate with is totally absurd.

If race did play a part, I think it was in the voting. The councilman voted straight down the line with the exception of Myron Lowery. Now he is being accused of playing up to the White constituents, in search of future votes. Is he not allowed to vote against a Black person if he feels he has been ineffective? Joe Brown should have kept his comments to himself. I just hope when the smoke clears he won't have been indicted. He had made his position clear with his vote. If he didn't have a reason supporting his vote. The atmosphere didn't need to have the race card played. As for Mr. French not being reappointed, I am Black and I agree.
