Accusations of racism spoil the atmosphere
The Southern logic being manifested by the Guilford County commissioners and the self-proclaimed black leaders is just as sadly humorous as the similar logic we saw up North.
If you voted to fire County Manager Willie Best because he is black, then you are a racist. The dictionary defines a racist as someone who practices "discrimination or prejudice based on race." In that case, if you voted to keep County Manager Willie Best because he is black, then you are a racist.
Racism is a two-way street. Just when does the silliness end? Lewis Grizzard, noted Southern humorist, said that racism will cease when racism is no longer used as an excuse.
Between the Truth and Reconciliation report and the Guilford County commissioners, I don't see racism ceasing in Guilford County any time soon. What a pity. We really like living here and all the wonderful people we have met. Our election choices are getting easier.

I figure that the next time the WWE comes to greensboro, We set up a steel cage match between billy yow and skip alston. That alone would be worth the price of admission and nachos. Honestly, I dont care who wins. I would ask both of them if they feel better now that they have pummeled each other.
I kinda think skip and billy would bicker if they were both white or both black.
as for willie best, He'll be just fine. The man isnt hard up for a job.
