Yeah and he didn't THINK it was racist.. My dying ass.. he knew just exactly what it was and didn't give a shit.. I hate these damn people..
This kind of thing is why, for so long, I was afraid to believe Obama could actually get elected. Now it's up to us to expose neanderthals like this mayor and make it clear what kind of damage they're doing to the country.
