REGARDING:
“you should have charges brought against you for race discrimination”

Who was discriminated against?

What law did she break?

I DO NOT FEEL THAT MRS. MINCY MEANT ANY HARM BY HER QUESTION.IT SHOULD BE TAKEN IN THE CONTEXT THAT IT WAS SPOKEN. THAT BEING SAID , IF ALL THE PEOPLE COMMENTING HERE ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID OR MEANT WOULD ACTUALLY SHOW UP AT ONE MEETING A YEAR AND GIVE SOME IN PUT TO OUR COMMUNITY, JUST THINK OF HOW MUCH BETTER EVERYTHING WOULD BE. IF YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED IN YOU GOVERNMENT THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT IT!!!!

I can hear God asking “Where ALL MY people at? all races. …………..It is time to stop playing the race card. I am black, I don’t attend any community meetings, I have a job and a fimily ( children and a disabled husband) that I have to care for. I am sure that there are others that are unable to attend and if you have the time to attend anything in this face pace world then good for you, you have more time to spare than I do. Maybe you should give some of your time to those of us that need it. Go to the grocery store, do the yard, keep the kids, take husband to a doctors appointment….then maybe just maybe ANY OF US can go to a meeting..

I would suggest having food and beverages for the guest, maybe an after party. that might draw more people. I would further suggest that maybe Mayor McCall do an insperational reading, or a dramatic reenactment. The Roman Emperor Nero performed for the citizens and they loved it.

Maybe this isn’t a race issue; maybe it is an apathy issue. I notice that many people in this area do a lot of complaining about how the government does/does not do things, but they don’t make their voices heard in government (local or state or washington). We have email, phones and can write letters, but it seems few people do. Why??? Remember, the squeeky wheel gets the oil!

To all of you spouting off at the mouth: I don’t believe for a minute Mrs. Mincy meant that remark to be racist at all. Carl and I went to these meetings for a very long time. More times than once were we the only two white people there besides the reporters. I even asked Carl why did he think more white folks didn’t show up.. The blacks weren always well represented. I guess maybe I was a little jealous that we didn’t have more white folks there.Mrs. Mincy is a very nice lady who also cares about our community. Please don’t use this article to make a mountian out of a mole hill.
