Hope springs eternal, Mr. Delfino. But when hope runs smack into reality, it usually is “ticketed” for not yielding to the inevitable.

Here's what should happen: If Councilwoman Bellamy-Small was speeding, she should acknowledge the fact, apologize to the officer for any "misunderstanding," insist upon a citation and pay the fine.

Here's what will happen: None of the above.

Here's what you should consider doing, Mr. Delfino: Contact an attorney who is willing to bring a class-action law suit against the City of Greensboro for racial and employment profiling. Request that all speeding tickets issued for 15 or less mph in a 35 mph zone be revoked, the records of the speeders purged, the fines refunded and their insurance companies advised of the corrections. Oh, and throw in a grand or two in punitive damages, just for good measure.

You won't win, of course, but then there's always that "hope" thing.

Hey Frank,I can't believe you labeled DB-S an "african-American" when everyone knows there is nothing American about her. She is all african baby as are the ones that vote for her in her gerry-mandered distict.

Swallows (I'm not writing the whole name), I'm an ESOL teacher at GTCC. I have several African students who are some of the nicest, most gracious people I've ever met. Calling Bellamy-Smith "all african" [sic] is a grave insult to Africans.

oops, meant "Bellamy-Small" in the last post.

Where is the support for fat ass Bellamy-Small? Well there isn't any . . . she's a hoser and I agree, Nothing American about her. She's a cry baby racist and nobody, nobody, noboday respects her . . .

how could you . . .
