Being that this is the case, Mrs. Robinson’s property should have been excluded as well. It seems that the council randomly selected properties to be annexed. These properties just happened to be owned by black families. If you are going to include one property of this size and locality, then include them all. If you are going to exclude one then exclude them all. Mrs. Robinson appears to be a very strong woman and doesn’t mind standing up for what is right. You can call it what you want: unjust, racism, slavery, or dementia. Bottom line, the decision was wrong and it must be corrected. It is impressive that Mrs. Robinson own this amount of property. Anyone that owns this amount of property would be concerned about zoning. It doesn’t mean you are crazy. This matter should be fully investigated. When do we stop criticizing and start supporting our neighbors and elders in the community? Apparently there were other properties excluded from annexation that were the same size as Mrs. Robinson’s.

If I do not like something I try to see what the reason was. I do not use my skin color. I hope to achieve my mile stones based on my integrity, hard work and intelligence. Not because my ancestors were slaves. Besides that I do not know if they were and she probably does not know whether hers were or not either. And Jimmy Wang Yang, reverse racism is no racism. This woman is a racist. She is just as racial as any Klansmen.

If you read the beginning history of the slave trade it was the African nation that was poor, overpopulated, and starving and needed money. It was African's themselves who rounded up and sold their own to the British who in turn sold them to the Americans and to the British Isles, Jamaica and Haiti. Read your history books. It's all there. Just reading between the lines:

I guess if my family had been dragged from Escambia county and taken in the bottom of a boat to Africa and worked as slaves, I would not be happy either. I would yearn for my culture, my home. People should look at things, from the perspective of others. Empathy. Mr Lincoln was the great emancipator, had he lived he would have also been known as the great repatriator.

I don't believe there are very many blacks that have witnessed "slavery" first hand. They should thank God they weren't even born when slavery was happening! All they know is what their parents, grandparents, etc. have "told" them about the subject. Yet, every time something happens to a black person they scream "Slavery"! I really think "facts" have been stretched way out of proportion by the time the kids grow up and remember what they've been told over the years. They all need to "Get Over It" and go on with their lives as normal human beings! The past is the past and I really don't think that "history": will ever be repeated nor has it ever been repeated!

It took her 33 years to complain about it, but I have a solution. If it's possible, zone her out of the city limits. If she is out of the city limits, her presence is no longer needed at town meetings because she will no longer have a vote in anything that the town does. Maybe others would go to the meetings if they no longer felt that everything would turn into a racial debate. Well this is just crazy!

There are some who will never let it go and that is sad. What I want to say is quit using that as an excuse for not attending the council meetings.You know and I know that is a cop out! As far as Mrs. Robertson goes I have known her for many years, and she has always been this way, and short of dying I don't think she will ever change. My mom said stir the pile and the more it will stink, so get a clothes pin or let it go. I am not going to get into it about this race thing! There are some who will never let it go and that is sad.
