Okay, so Billy Yow is an idiot. Don't we get at least one, as you have at leqst three. I think what Billy siad was misunderstood. He really meant to say they they all "think and vote" alike!

Coleman has no right to say anything about race. Remember she used race as a means to get land from project homestead. No one wants to talk about that in cluding Yow.

Did you feel the same way about Davis' comment at the time and did you write about it?

Sam, Davis didn't make the comment. Linda Shaw did after Davis flubbed her name.
To wit, according to our story:
"... In April, when Davis tried to remember Shaw's name in a meeting, Shaw said 'Linda' and joked, 'I know, we all look the same.' What Davis blamed on a 'senior moment' received robust laughter from most of the commissioners at the time."

Hearing about these comments that Billy Yow made shouldn't surprise anyone that keep up with Guilford County politics. Some of you may remember when he had t-shirts printed with a young boy urinating on the letters, "NAACP". I don't consider him an idiot, just the people in his district that continue to support for him.

Billy Yow uses comments such as this to diffuse racial tension not increase it. If people can laugh about it then they are on the road to getting over this tired horse@#%&. To understand Yow and Alston you have to remember they are in the entertainment business. They're like professional wrestlers trying to drum up interest by making inflammatory statements etc.
