By extension, there’s the implication that this is why MLGW President Joseph Lee is being hounded our of his job."<BR/><BR/>I have no doubt that you are correct here, even though the logic makes no sense. <BR/><BR/>Why would white people rail against the special treatment Ford got and call for Lee's ouster if white people themselves are receiving the same special treatment? Makes no sense to folks with the capacity to think things through.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, many voters in Shelby county do not possess said capacity. <BR/><BR/>Memphis is doomed as long as the black polititians in Memphis play ghetto word games to excite black voters and then, once elected/re-elected, run the city like ghetto gangsters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-86645755564945928932007-03-05T06:58:00.000-06:002007-03-05T06:58:00.000-06:00Herenton calling Morris an "Uncle Tom" by use of t...Herenton calling Morris an "Uncle Tom" by use of the word "boy" is the pot calling the kettle black.<BR/><BR/>Herenton has been an Uncle Tom for the white developers for 16 years ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
