I don’t understand why people get so ill over a white mayor. We have a black president for goodness sake. I think it’s about time to clean up the city anyway and make history, just like the blacks did to us.

The City of Atlanta is in dire need of a qualified candidate. I assume some in the black leadership could care less about qualifications and are more interested in race. While the black community demands progress in race relations, maybe they should look themselves in the mirror. http://www.cmrji.com

As a white male I’m glad to see blacks disagreeing with this nonsense. I voted for the best Presidential candidate based on his platform, not color.

I am so happy that we can come here and be heard and exchange ideas. our future is able to be a better one if we allow our past to be the past it is, save the sugar and safe the decorations.admit our mistakes and move foward a new. Gil Wainwright http://www.unitedwestcoast.com
God bless this freedom and God bless this nation and everyone of us in it.Dear, Supporters
Thank you for taking the time to reach out and look into what is cooking. First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Gilbert Wainwright; I am a person dedicated to self-improvement and self-realizations. I believe that every young person out there has a good side that potentially can be cared for enough to create a very positive life out of a negative one and that young people have the potential to change their destinies. I did it myself. The battle that youth are in every day is not just the lack of opportunities and basic needs, though those are serious challenges. The battles that the youth are in which can transform the ground that the fight takes place on is self realization knowing who they are and the potential they can direct the outcome of anything in their own life. I have always maintained that the situation changes when the direction changes. Over many years of my life I have experienced the lows of ghetto life and survival, and the struggle of near death experience. Ever challenge in my life turned out to be a lesson. This idea that young people need guidance is no new idea. The idea that the people who made it out of the ghettos should turn around and give back is not a new idea either. I don’t think that our definition of a ghetto is the same as others around the world, I have seen young men in our ghettos walk around with a couple of thousand dollars in the pocket. Or a gold and diamond watch, the meaning of a ghetto is not the issue anyway, what the issue is for me is community improvement practices, resource development that self generates prosperity. The amazing piece in this letter today is that when genius is present and ideas are overlooked and values are preconditioned so that young people are missing their own potentials then we all limit what is possible to repeating the same old repeat of feeding the failures of yesterday while we hope to build success for tomorrow, it is insane. Self-righteous people are holding new ideas prisoners and goal tending against encouraging self-development. I am amazed whenever I look back at my success because for me to live this long and get to where I am of mind and in life amazes me. I decided to go back to talk to youth because I can see that I am one of those people who have an amazing intellect and strength of courage that is capable of reaching youth that need to be help up above where they are in mind in spirit and in reality. We can not help kids without giving them the tools they need, but we also need to give them the materials to build with and a blue print of what we want the to create. Our leadership has done well over the years and they deserve great respect and credit for all of their hard work in civil rights and education advances and every other human advancement including the blood transfusion,back before we knew that could be done, or the benefits of it , but the days of repeating past successes are wearing thin for 2009 and beating a dead horse is akin to pointing to the same old logic to encourage a new direction for our youth. I think that we need to unleash the newness that some of the ideas possess initiated from my visions of what our youth can achieve, in this time of our country suffering labor pains of change there is about to be a manifestation of a new greatness in America, and it will be new and beautiful. I truly pray that at some point in my begging and pleading with these words that someone with the capabilities to join me will get the ability to act and join me in a conversation to help our youth reach beyond this challenge of today. On every level in every way. Sincerely: Gilbert Wainwright Founder C.E.O United Coast-To-Coast One Love Movement 2009. Thank You. May you see yourself in the next person you see success.

Sadly, scenes of a black controlled government in ” Birth of a Nation” seem to coming true. Luckily, there will be no KKK riding to the rescue.

As a white voter, I say too bad this had to come out and make Lisa Borders look like she is part of this in any way. She is the most qualified candidate, understands the issues, and has a life story that needs to be heard. She truly has risen above race in her life.

Mary is flame thrower and while that would be exciting, she doesn’t have a grasp on the issues beyond sound bites. I’ve known her way too long. Plus she was too big of a Campbell supporter and spent her entire council budget on her campaign over the last 6 years (where is the investigation of that?).

I now would like to have the media do the rest of their job and interview the recipients of this memo, just as they would if the shoe were on the other foot.

With not just one but two Professors at Clark Atlanta University spouting the deepest racist remarks I have heard in years – Every Corporation – Every Business – and Every Individual must now examine their Contributions to Clark Atlanta while these two “Racist” are employed there.
