So Much For “The Content Of His Character” In Baltimore

Written By : McQ

If the mayor isn’t black then that’s unacceptable to the Maryland NAACP. You see the present mayor (who is black) is about to be convicted of seven theft-related charges will have to vacate the office. That has put the state NAACP in a low hover. Apparently they don’t want the governor appointing someone that doesn’t look like them if that’s the case. Marvin L. Cheatham, the president of the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP had this to say:

“Our concern is who would the governor appoint?” Cheatham said. “Here you have a predominantly African-American city. What if the governor appointed somebody white? … Would he appoint someone Irish to be the mayor?”

Oh my goodness – someone white? Heaven forbid! And lord help us all, certainly not someone “Irish”!

Now to the point – let’s replace some words, shall we?

“Our concern is who would the governor appoint?” Cheatham said. “Here you have a predominantly white city. What if the governor appointed somebody black? … Would he appoint someone African-American to be the mayor?”

Anyone – what would that statement be branded as? Here, let me spell it out for you. It would be called r-a-c-i-s-t.

Racist. And it is blatant racism, just like the real quote above it.

Here’s the irony.

The governor has absolutely nothing to do with such an appointment. Nada. The state defers to the city, and the city council president becomes the mayor to fill the term per the city charter. All of this came from Cheatham hearing someone discuss the topic on a talk radio show. It was all nonsense.

But that didn’t stop the state NAACP at the behest of Cheatham from passing a resolution asking the governor to defer to the city in picking the next mayor. As Cheatham says it passed “nearly unanimously” with little debate.

Cheatham also said he worried that a future Republican governor could appoint someone from his party to lead a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans 9 to 1. “Would not the Republican governor have the ability to pick a Republican mayor?” he asked. “We just think there are some unanswered questions about the process,” Cheatham said.

We think so too, Mr. Cheatham – like why you use code words like “Republican” when, in fact, you mean “white”, you racist twit.

“Post-racial” my rear end. Time for a little diversity training in MD, wouldn’t you say?

Black people are under represented in positions of power. That's why the want a black replacement.

The reverse racism card won't fly.

An Irish mayor? Why next thing you know we'll have a English/Kenyan President!

Oh wait, we do.

I guess Baltimore can join Massachusetts in replacing democracy with hereditary inheritance of power.

Sorry, but social engineering doesnt work. Your track record is proof positive. Look at the latest example, obama. We want the BEST person to fill a position…not the (fill in word) person.

So you're saying they care about the color of the mayor's skin, and not the content of his character.

Thank you for conceding the argument.

The fact that libs don't see a problem with this goes a long way in explaining why it's even an issue. If they wanted a genuine color-blind society, libs would be completely up in arms with the NAACP's statement. In fact, if the NAACP wanted a color blind society, a statement like this wouldn't have even been considered. Yet once again, we see race mongers that exist and are legitimized by their own racist actions and comments, fully supported by the racist media.

The idiot trolls on this board will deny they're racist, yet I"m sure they all agree with Mr. Schite when he says "Black people are under represented in positions of power. That's why the want a black replacement." If you agree with that statement, you are a racist, plain and simple. I don't know if you libs ignore this fact intentionally so you can continue to troll this board with your self proclaimed superiority, or if you're really so closed-minded you can't see the obvious.

How about if they appoint an Asian-American-Person – would that be a problem?

Considering that asians get screwed even more than whites when it comes to Affirmative Action, I imagine it'd be even more of a problem.

Never underestimate a liberal's potential for racism.

If you want to make everything about race, by ballpark racial figures out of 100 presidents we should have about 70 white Christians, 13 black folks, 15 latinos, and two from the Asian/Pacific Islander/Jewish/Indian/Native American etc. group. We haven’t even hit the allotment of old white dudes yet.

As far as Baltimore goes, separating into a “community” instead of trying to forge a community out of Baltimore as a whole seems stupid. Why do people like Marvin Cheatham fall prey to the Democratic agenda of divide and conquer? Why do they try so hard (like La Raza or MeCHA) to keep their communities from assimilating into America as a whole?

What are the chances that deep blue Maryland would elect a Republican governor in the future, anyway?

Black people are "under-represented" in power, where? In Baltimore? I have no idea about the local politics there, but if it's anything like here in Philly…they probably aren't. Look at almost any big city in the USA…Detroit, Philly, Newark, D.C., L.A., Chicago, etc etc….if they don't have a minority mayor, they certainly have plenty of representation the city government. As well as the state and federal governments, at least in the House (and the White House).

Tactic? What you do is a 'tactic'? Really? How's your 'tactic' working for you, Jackie boy? Are you changing the world? You sound like a little boy in the playground most of the time. That's a 'tactic'?

Honestly, I haven't heard anything quite that amusing in several days, Jack.

Tactic. Still makes me chuckle.

What, bitching and moaning about what dire straits the black community is in? No, I don't think that's ever been "our tactic".
