		<description>This past week a memo was circulated around City Hall....asking citizens to vote for Lisa Borders to preserve the black agenda. The memo indicated that the black agenda would be lost if a black mayor was not elected in. Unfortunately, the black agenda has been lost for many years. Evidence of this can be seen in our heavily neglected historically black communities such as English Avenue, Peoplestown, Mechanicsville, Adair Park, the list goes on. 
If the black agenda has been preserved all these years how come the black communities in this city have not been preserved? The scholars who wrote the memo who are allegedly professors from Clark Atlanta are not paying attention when they drive into the campus each day. The area surrounding Clark Atlanta is not preserved and it is not safe. Most of the homes have gone into foreclosure. Over the past 25 years the &quot;black agenda&quot; that the scholars at Clark Atlanta (the memo writers) has done nothing but destroy the very same neighborhoods that blacks reside in. Get a grip atlanta....its not about color its about quality of life.</description>

		<description>Here, here Batboy! Atlanta has REAL problems and Queen Emma is just one! A black agenda, but of course. Everyone knows that Atlanta is a &quot;black&quot; city. Now, someone needs to SIGN the &quot;agenda&quot; and if no one is willing to, then forget it. If you don&#039;t have the b*lls to sign your work, we all need to see it for what it may be, a plant. Just some way to try to draw controversy to the election. 
Come on SIGN IT or DROP IT!</description>

		<description>When racism surfaces, we have a choice.  We can defend it like Bookman has, finding way to parse the words, excuse the thinking and justify the ugly truth or we can face the issue squarely. Facing the issue squarely might put the political coalition in danger. As a result Bookman equivocates.
We will get what we deserve.  Another generation of corrupt leadership in the City. More cover for racists like Emma Darnell.  And we will scratch our heads and wonder why there is so little political demand for regional cooperation.
When we are prepared to face black racism and identity politics head on, we will finally be able to make progress.</description>
