The Governor of Maryland, Mr. Martin Owe'Malley, is of Irish descent, which is where this phony "concern" comes from, I guess. In any event the statement Doc. Cheatham made is doubly curious because prior to becoming Governor, Marty was the mayor of that same Baltimore City, and he enjoyed wide support from the NAACP. Also, succession laws in the city are crystal clear. If Dixon is removed from office, her successor will be the current city council president, Ms. Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a black woman like Ms. Dixon, jas as Doixon herself ascended from city council president to mayor upon Mr. Owe'Malley being elected to governor.

My brothers are both contractors. Back in the seventies, they hired anybody who was qualified and kept anybody who worked hard and showed up. When they fired two blacks and an Hispanic, they were sued. Furthermore, the Commonwealth Civil Rights Division fined them 50K. Since then, they have hired no blacks or Hispanics– Racism? Nope, our brother in law is black. We love the guy, even though he is a Democrat. They just can't afford the legal fees, court time, and judgments. They split each company so they weren't covered by the minority hiring. Way to go, libbies.

AFAICR, there as another Congressman who was white but represented a majority-black district. The CBC also rejected him.

It's sad that we can't just hire and fire based on merit any more.

White, sure. Irish, are you kidding? Scots are where it's at.

A trucking company I worked for had a new driver that did a great deal of damage through reckless driving. When they tried to fire him the NAACP came in and sued for him. This special entitlement trap seems to be widespread and it would discourage me from hiring black people even if they make an initial good impression. Of course I've seen the reverse, a good black driver who was racially harassed out of a small trucking company. He had a good case but too much pride to call the NAACP.

Wake up!

This has been going on for a long time.

Mindless, racist bloc voting by minorities for race hustlers, and reverse discrimination in almost every workplace are undermining the foundations of our Republic.

I'm not sure when it will happen, but at some point, fair-minded people are going to start pushing back, hard and effectively.
