Family fumes over councilman’s ‘hate letter’

The mother of a Cleveland teen charged with drug trafficking accuses Cleveland City Councilman Mike Polensek of threatening her son in letter that refers to the 18-year-old as a “crack dealing piece of trash” and closes with “go to jail or the cemetery soon.”

...Winston’s mother, Tonya Lewis, said she plans to speak to her attorney, former city councilman George Forbes, about filing a lawsuit against Polensek. She said she also has written a letter to black activist Al Sharpton.

...She also said he referred to Winston as “dumber than mud,” which she considers a racist remark.

Let me repeat that... she considers “DUMBER THAN MUD” to be a racist remark. Why?. Because mud is BLACK AND DIRTY!. Sheesh!.

“Because mud is BLACK AND DIRTY!”

Um, isn’t mud USUALLY brown? (Oh, maybe that’s too close. Sorry.)
