I have written numerous articles about how Jasper, TX Police Chief Rodney Pearson is not a good guy. I just wrote an article today about how this Jasper, TX Police Chief was finally fired.
I am sure it will not be long before all the liberal media and civil rights groups come out of the woodworks to cry racism. They will pull the race card and say that Rodney Pearson was fired because he was black. They will ignore the facts that show that Rodney Pearson was fired because he was just not a good police chief who should not have been hired in the first place. They will say the community of Jasper is filled with racists.
NOT SO FAST!
The liberal media will ignore that Jasper, TX and Jasper County just voted to elect James White (who is black) to be their State Representative.
Wait a second! I thought Jasper was racist and did not like black people in office? Nope, that is just what the media wants you to think. They fired Pearson because Pearson was not the best qualified and did a bad job. On the other hand, the just HIRED (elected) James White. They don't care that State Rep. James White is a black man. They only cared that James White was the BEST man for the job with STELLAR conservative values and qualifications.
Sure, you can find racists of all colors in all cities in America. As a community though, Jasper is not a racist city and they do and have elected black people to lead them.
They voted for the White guy?
Blog posts, actually.
Dispelling the myth that Southerners are racist, we elected a terrific Tea Party CONSERVATIVE for US Congress in ‘10 in my SC congressional district. His name is Tim Scott and he happens to be black.
We love him here. He is more than we had hoped for when he was running.
Quick question: Was Pearson fired by the same city council members who hired him in the first place - or was the membership changed somewhere along the line by a local election?
I find this to be the mindset of most Republicans, worried about being called racist and saying “look! look! we have a black too!” Another reason I quit the party, although Romney/McCain were sufficient.
Personally, you can call me racist all you want.
No, it sounds like White is Black. :)
No, it sounds like White is Black. :)
I knew that White was labeled black.
The left has the right in a tizzy over ‘racism’. They scream about race and way too many whites fall all over themselves trying to prove to the left that they are not this bad thing that left says they are. What if they hadn’t elected a black guy? Does that mean they are bad people? I am sick of it all. Manipulation at it’s finest.
