4. A new city manager was hired and they feel that she creates a "hostile work enviornment"

So, maybe she asked them to treat Black people like humans or something.

5. My thought exactly

[Bettie]

7. And she should just hire new people

maybe even from other places, if they can stand to move to NC.

People who can treat all humans as, well, human beings.

Won't those people be surprised if she just moves forward with replacing them instead of resigning as they demand.

8. Well, their last town manager was fired for sexual assault.

They're not really very good at this hiring thing apparently.

[Bettie]

9. They were probably angry

because that guy was a 'good guy'.

[BlackSkimmer]

11. Not sure what you mean. IF you mean he was white, nope.

[Bettie]

16. Men tend to stand with other men

and seldom believe that the other guy has committed sexual assault.

"OH...he couldn't have done that, she was just being overdramatic...making things up...misunderstood..."

[BlackSkimmer]

20. Wow, DU never fails to amaze. Are you saying white guys in the south will stand with a black man?

I've never even heard of Kenly, and I live in NC. I have no idea what her deal is with these police officers, but there is more than meets the eye here.

Maybe do some research on Jones...she worked for a much bigger county in SC and is now working for this teensy town here?

Guess why? Pretty interesting reading.

[Bettie]

24. Turns out my original theory is probably right

they were asked to treat Black people like human beings and they didn't like that.

So, are you suggesting that the new town manager is the problem?

Whatever. Bye.

[Nevilledog]

12. "SHE".. There's your answer.

[ruet]

18. That's Not The Only Thing.

[BlackSkimmer]

21. Their last town manager was black too. Did you know that?

Didn't work out for him either.

[Nevilledog]

23. That settles it.

[Yonnie3]

27. Melody Cooper is spot on! It is a national strategy

and it's so obvious.

26. A North Carolina city hired a Black town manager. Then its entire police force resigned.
