Not all count in District 1
A very telling remark was made in the article pertaining to the "Recall Small" petition and vote. Howard Alexander made the statement that T. Dianne Bellamy-Small "supported the black issues." I am certain that is a true statement.
The last census showed that District 1 is made up of 66.1 percent black, 26.7 percent white and 7.2 percent other. Therefore, one-third of Bellamy-Small's constituents have no support, recognition or voice on the City Council. The Founding Fathers referred to this as taxation without representation. Alas, it still holds true.

You've just soundly illustrated the problem with majority rule. Under majority rule, the minority always loses and must submit to the tyranny of the majority.
Let's give this a try instead:
