Patrick Braxton said that the "minority White residents ... long accustomed to exercising total control over the government, refused to accept his election as mayor.

"Newbern had not held an election "for decades." Instead, "the office of mayor was 'inherited' by a hand-picked successor," and that mayor then chose town council members, again without an election. All prior mayors have been White residents, the lawsuit said, even though about 85% of Newbern's population is Black. Only one Black person has ever served on the town council. "

I bet their books are fascinating reading. :clue:

rich white people are funny

She wrote that she had been living “in hiding” for three years, without a job “that meets my qualifications.” She even appeared to blame Christian for leaving domestic violence survivors in harm’s way because she was forced to flee her New York City apartment, which had been used as a safe haven for “numerous women who had endured abusive relationships.”

Mid-speech, as he touches on issues related to black people, he’s unexpectedly interrupted by a woman in the audience. Despite no offensive remarks from the musician prior, the woman “passionately” expresses her disagreement, suggesting he shouldn’t speak on black issues. Via smitheea211 What are your thoughts on the boundaries of advocacy and representation? Especially as a New Yorker? I mean we live in a melting pot, how can we not speak on stuff? via @ontodaysnewyorkshitty for more!"
