Macomb County stung by stigma of intolerance

Along a lobby wall of the Macomb County building in Mt. Clemens, a row of photos depicts each group of county commissioners since 1969. The clothes and hairstyles of the smiling subjects change with the years, but one thing is consistent.

With one exception, every face is white.

Racial hit piece???

The media can seem to figure out the simple fact that, in a nation of 280 million where about 60% of the country is still white, that maybe, just maybe, there are going to be some concentrations of white people. It seems when ever something happens where a town is mostly white, as is with large swaths of this country, that there must be "intolerance" going on there.

This is BULL#@^#. These libs do the same type of hitpiece on my county too.

I oppose AA. That doesn't make me a racist. In fact, I've voted for a black man for President and State Supreme Court Justice. My state senator happens to be Hispanic. That same Supreme Court Justice won Macomb County too. I voted for them since they were the best men or women running. Period.

Macomb county doesn't like handouts or BS, but if the best person running was someone that wasn't Caucasian, that person would get their vote.

"A history of homogeneity is nothing new in a county where 93 percent of the population is white,..."

With a 93 percent white population it appears that they're going to have to import some minorities and force a job on them.

To answer your question, yes, it is a "racial hit piece." Not only is it that, but it's a "politically correct hit piece." This "tolerance" BS is just that - a bunch of BS. Tolerance is nothing but a back door way of saying "lower your standards until they're in the gutter and then you'll be a part of the relativistic community." That's the place where morality and just about everything is subjected to politically correctness. And, it is becoming increasingly sickening as the days and hours tick by.

As for me, thanks, but no thanks.

the problem whites have with blacks wanting their share of the pie is that blacks don't want to work for it,only whites would dothat and then turn 50% of it over to blacks.and yes,i guess thinking that blacks are able to do the same type of hard work that whites can do makes me racist cuz i haven't learned that blacks aren't able to and need whites to bail them out!!!!

Here are the images of the entire Congressional Delegation from perhaps the most liberal state in the Union - Massachusetts. Note that every one is a white male.
