Detroit Metro Times ^ | August 16, 2018 | Violet Ikonomova

More than a dozen community groups have called on Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) to apologize for a series of racial slurs sources say she used to describe her primary election opponent, Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit).

Scott is alleged to have referred to Chang as "ching-chang" and "the ching-chong" to multiple voters outside polling precincts during last Tuesday's election. She's also said to have called one of Chang's campaign volunteers an “immigrant,” saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”

“called on to apologize” Does anyone think that it would have been “apologize” if a White had said hateful racist things? NO. She would have already resigned, and be investigated for a hate crime.

The fluff post has it, but none of the mainstream news media. Tells you all you need to know about “enemy of the people” and “fake news.”
I’m sick of specially-privileged individuals getting a free pass because of their skin shade.

Alberta Tinsley-Talabi 26.4 8,697
Bettie Cook Scott 11.2 3,697
James Cole Jr. 5.2 1,712

Democrat Chang vs. Republican Montie in the general:

Pauline Montie 100 8,426
