I didn’t remember the details simply because the man displayed an ignorance that makes all blacks look bad. Both the council member and the Judge who was also involved are supposedly educated but that calls into question just how “affiratively actioned” they are. IOW. did either ever go to a class?
Affirmative action has been devastating for any minority it was supposed to help.
For a long time every minority was under a cloud of whether or not the person deserved the medical degree or law degree, business degree, etc. It’s not pretty to question a persons real qualifications based on skin color or gender.
Even Obama and his wife have that stigma, IMHO.
I have lived in or near both cities, and both have some idiots on the council - that is why I asked ‘which city’. Seems like both have been in the news recently.
