Mayor Herenton is “keeping it Real”.. Racist
Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton was caught today cleaning out his office and loading up his vehicle. He looked in good spirits as he made trips to his vehicle, accompanied by his former bodyguards. The soon to be ex Mayor stopped for an interview for one of the news stations, and his remarks were more of the same, race related.
As he proudly wore his “keeping it real” shirt, which by the way is his campaign slogan in his congressional bid to oust Steve Cohen, he spoke more of the same old Willie Herenton “racist at large” rhetoric. In a modified style of speaking that is reminiscent of MLK, he slowly told the reporter that he had no idea why members of the election commission were so adamant in their racist and perverted desires to get him out of office so quickly. He compared it to the days when whites called African Americans trouble makers for not wanting to be segregated anymore.
Mr. Herenton seems to think that Memphis still wants him here. I think he is sadly mistaken. The blacks, or African Americans, which is the more popular phrase now, (why, I don’t know. I never see any rallies to raise money to send to the families of relatives that are still there, or rallies to stop slavery, which is still an open practice in Africa. With slavery being such a soft spot in this country, you would think that this would be paramount. I mean, African Americans are so upset over relatives they never knew being enslaved, but they don’t seem to care about relatives that are alive now, being enslaved. Maybe there’s nothing to gain by helping them. just thinking outloud.) as well as the greedy old white businessmen, wanted him in for what they could get. The white businessmen wanted the benefits of pay to play, and the blacks just liked to see a black man “talk all crazy” to the whites. There is more to it than that, but that is what it boils down to. So to these two groups of people, it was a pretty costly ride for the rest of the city. We had to pay for it for almost two decades. Thanks. The city is in shambles, and Herenton with his best civil rights voice talks as if Memphis is just fine. He actually tried to blame whites for all the craziness. Whites had nothing to do with all of the bogus deals, the no bid contracts, the hiring of unqualified people to prominent jobs just so they wouldn’t talk, the countless racism spewed at every opportunity, the crime, and on and on and on.
Please leave here. We don’t want you here. You are a Cancer. You are a crook. You are a racist. You are no good.
That’s just me, “Keeping it Real”
