Black And White

It's befitting that I would only find a black and white picture of "Rick Masson", the interim president of MLGW. Those are the two most important colors of how this scenario will play out. I think this was a very smart political move on the mayor's part. This appointment will silence many of the his critics. His White detractors won't go against one of their own. The constant charges of the director being one of Herenton's cronies will die down now. They won't reduce him to being a boy. Blacks won't say anything either because he is White. Believe it or not that old adage "the White man's ice is colder", holds true with some people. Those that were used or driven by their jealousy will be less vocal. Those who were fueling the foolishness won't be egging them on like they have in the past. I'll be watching to see if the Black community is as critical and outspoken as they have been. It will be interesting to see what the complaints will be now.
