We need to get past this point where any racially negative remark or sexually negative remark can ruin your career. I say this girl is being coached and used by her family to get a fat payoff of some kind for some reason. People say things when they get upset. This should not be the end of it.
I guarantee if it was reversed, if a black politician said something ugly about a white teen while in traffic, very little would be done about it. And rightfully so. This girl thinks she is ‘entitled to make someone pay for any moment of worry in her short life. If true, the councilman should own up to it, make a contribution to something like BlackLives Matter and move on. He should not pay her one red cent!
It's sad, when that is automatically the first thing I think of too. If the roles were reversed........
