Mecklenburg County commissioner Kim Ratliff apologized Tuesday night to the public and her colleagues for saying she preferred that the next county manager not be a white man. Ratliff, the boards vice chair who is a Democrat and black, said in a brief statement at the boards regular meeting that she regrets making the statement. My comments were meant to encourage all candidates to apply for the position and not meant to exclude anyone, she said. I realize now my comments may not have been appropriate, and I regret making them.

How does this sound: "I prefer the next manager not be a black woman".
Racism on the part of blacks has gone way too far. There will be some push back soon.

No she is not sorry at all, first she told the truth and now she is lying, but since she is protected class it does not matter.

If you've ever walked through the park on the corner of Trade and Tryon Streets at noon, you'd see where's she's coming from.
At least the “homeless” there know how to play chess. Speed chess at that.

Another less than worthless faux apology from a fascist liar.
Anyone ever noticed that liberal women are even nastier and more hateful than liberal men? Not gettin’ enough of the good stuff from their androgynous male compatriots? Or is the problem that they have bigger penises?

Many government related problems are dragging the USofA down and among them is this preference for prioritizing race, and gender, etc., over competence and integrity as qualifications for positions of authority.
It is clearly on display today all the way to the very highest levels of the federal government.

I’m actually surprised that she apologised. She must not have gotten the memo, because most black public figures, from all I’ve seen, don’t find it necessary. In fact, they double down. They can do that, it seems.

Probably should have said something less “racially” offensive like “shouldn’t be a creepy-ass-cracker”.

Bull$h!t. This is not being called hate speech. The idiot is not being hounded to grovel and apologize. The idiot is not going to resign.
Bull$h!t.
