I'm not sure I get her concept, unless she's saying that once and for all the blacks are going to take over the Democratic Party.
For once, their race baiting might back fire on them. They wanted them; they've got them. Now let them pay the piper.
Is it just me, or is there a LOT of "black stuff" going on lately? Looks like a major move to me.
People in Durham are rallying behind a new member of the Durham School Board who pleaded guilty to falsifying two city checks. Jackie Wagstaff officially joined the school board Thursday night. Supporters of Jackie Wagstaff said the official swearing-in ceremony has been a long time coming. Whether or not she would get the chance became a big question last month. That's when Wagstaff pleaded guilty to falsifying two city checks while she served as executive director for a non-profit group. "We stand for what's right, so you continue to stand strong, and stand firm, and the National Action Network will back you up," said James Banks of the Triangle Chapter of the National Action Network.
Wagstaff told the board she didn't want to focus on the controversy. "I was not elected to sit here and bicker and argue with people,” she said. “I was elected to sit here and make decisions for the children of Durham Public Schools, and that's what I intend to do." The local chapter of the National Action Network, a political lobby group linked to Al Sharpton’s group, made their support for Wagstaff loud and clear at a news conference Thursday morning. "For those who wish to keep her quiet, we know that the meaning of quiet is just merely the absence of noise,” Banks said. “We want them to know that we want peace, which is the presence of justice. And for those who want to keep us quiet, we want to let them know that we want peace. If you give us no peace, then we give you no quiet." For now, there is relative peace as Wagstaff joined the board but her supporters told the school board that that could change if the school board decides to investigate Wagstaff's actions. "We expect her to get a fair investigation, if you decide you want to oust her, remember the National Action Network of the Triangle, as well as our national office, will monitor everything that you're doing in her case, and if it comes to that we'll have Reverend Al Sharpton come and we'll stage a protest right here in Durham, North Carolina, right here at the Public Education Building so that you might know that until there is justice, there will be no peace," said Wagstaff supporter Elton Powell. State statute allows for the removal of a school board member if they have engaged in conduct that is "immoral" or "disreputable." |
