He Needs To Be Muzzled

This commissioners main claim to fame is his close friendship with Mayor Willie Herenton and his ties to the Teamsters Union. In the past my respect of his position was based on what I thought were his religious convictions. I thought there were certain things he just wouldn't do or say publicly as a matter of principle. Obviously I was wrong Today I found out different. My level of respect for him just went down a couple of rungs. I can't vote for him anyway though, because I don't live in his district. If I did he surely wouldn't get my support now. As long as we have people like him in office, the race issue won't improve in Memphis. Today I heard him make some of the most divisive comments I have ever heard one elected official make about another one. Now I see where Willie Herenton's militant side is coming from. He is simply reflectimg the racists, one sided conversations he engages in with his close friends.

Hopefully we're approaching a new day in how political power is gained in Memphis. This just goes to show how influence has been acquired in the past. All the black voters in Memphis can't be bought with a smoke sausage sandwich some baked beans and a Big K drink. It takes more than a annual picnic to make up for a whole year of polarized votes. This guy is nothing more than a undercover Henri Brooks. Who unfortunately is joined by the media at the hip to the mayor. Everything he says makes the news these days. I have always stood with Mayor Herenton on his positions concerning race because I knew where he was coming from. Though he don't always have the best choice of words. I knew it was always about fairness with him. Commissioner Chism wants to stack the deck though. To imply that hiring a qualified white to a position would set this city back forty years is ridiculous. Blacks have been in charge now for at least eighteen of those. They should be able to compete on merit alone. I hope the Mayor doesn't let the commissioner dig him a trench with his mouth. He needs to be muzzled.

I am glad that you've seen the light regarding Chism. The only part of the "undercover Henri Brooks" I dispute is that his views have been far from undercover.

In fact, I've seen Henri Brooks deal better with whites than Chism has. The key difference is that Brooks, when race motivates her, she seldom hides it. Chism has always liked to pretend it was about something else.

I do wonder if the Herenton/Chism lackeys realize that the amount of jobs that can be doled out by a congressman is pretty small. That has been their traditional means of consolidating power in the city.

WOW

I believe Herenton said in his interview, If AC stayed in the Mayor's race last year he would have "Called AC out" and it would have been nasty."

You have always look at every angle and not been afraid to "Call it out". Looks like there is going to be a lot of "Calling Out" during this election.

This is definitely going to be an interesting special election with some fatalities.
