12. No Racist I
I am a member of the generation which marched and demonstrated for civil rights. I have personally torn signs from the hands of Klansmen pickets integrating restaurants in downtown Atlanta and been cattle prodded by laughing Neanderthals in Tallahassee, Florida. I don't care if Campbell is polka dotted and plaid, he was a lousy mayor who did nothing for the city that did not result in a direct pay-off into his pocket. Our current mayor, Shirley Franklin, is a black woman who is governing with honour and grace. She is a wonderful human being and we are damned lucky to have her after the disasters of her predecessor.
