Although some see it as a clear-cut case of race discrimination, Kim Ratliff, a County Commissioner in Mecklenburg County, N.C., doesn’t regret saying that the next county manager should be a “non-white male.”
Ratliff’s comments were made last Friday when she commented on the departure of longtime county manager Harry Jones, WISTV.com reports.
The County Commissioner said other county officials should learn from Jones’ tenure as county manager.
“There were some people the manager was not talking to. There were county commissioners who were not talking to the manager,” she said, adding that the future county manager must have open lines of communication with all colleagues.
She continued, saying that she’d like to see “someone who is diverse – hopefully someone outside of North Carolina would be ideal for me.” Ratliff added that the county needs a “non-white male who can good working relations with all people.”

Reverse Discrimination...I would hope she loses her job or is recalled but I doubt she will.
Abject racism.
Some people are more equal than others.
I wonder if she’ll give special consideration if a non-white male applies - WHO IS A FLAMING FAGGOT?
That ought to count for something, right?
Curious - there’s also a gender discrimination part to this... but we’re focusing on the face bit.
I thought that is righis was illegal? Oh that is right. It is only illegal if you want a white employee, our a Christian employee, or a non pervert employee.......
Of course not. She’s black and made the racist statement recently, has no regrets, and will not be hounded to apologize. No consequences.
Paula Deen—now her incident is much worse, right?
Yes, there is racism in this country, and every other country, and always will be. Where is most of it coming from in our country? The black community.
If the lame stream media doesn’t want to get worked up over racist statements and actions from blacks, I’m not going to be particularly concerned about those coming from whites.
HOW ABOUT A GAY WHITE MALE!!!!! Sic the gays on this racist NC porker!!
On behalf of the world’s LGBTs I personally am outraged!!!

This subhuman commissioner is a racist pig.
When will whites stop bankrolling such hatred? The abortion angle isn’t working fast enough (though the blacks are being ravaged by Hispanics as a result in every way).
All the non white males, and females, should move out of the county.
and the next Commissioner ought to be a “non-racist”
No! I learned from the Zimmerman trial that it’s not racist to talk like this. It’s just the way folks talk down in the hood.
The thing that is disgusting is that whites do nothing about it. I guess whites are sick in the moral or spiritual sense. Too busy eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, having a good bowel movement, snoring and attending "The Games" to attend to the on going conquest.
Ms Ratliff
A fine Irish lady I’m sure
Should check my hometown to see how well a nearly 100 percent minority council is working out
Kim Ratliff got elected as a Democrat stealth candidate, hiding on the all-Democrat election ticket. She remained invisible as other than a Democrat prior to being elected.
The reason for this is that she is a frequent flyer racist and antisemite, a supporter of “Reverend” Farrakhan, and so repugnant in her official actions that other politicians refuse to be seen with her.
As a resident of a county bordering Mecklenburg ... not just NO but HECK NO. The people who elected Kim Ratliff need to stay in Meck!
