Candidate for Charlotte mayor puts 'white' among qualifications

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/candidate-for-charlotte-mayor-puts-white-among-qualifications/ar-AArowrK


A candidate for mayor in Charlotte, N.C., listed "white" among her qualifications in Facebook comments that have since been deleted.


The chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party rebuked Kimberley Paige Barnette, who has since apologized for her remarks.

"VOTE FOR ME!" Barnette, 53, wrote on her Facebook page, the Charlotte Observer reported.

"REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL."
