vote for karim reed. howard university school of law graduate and social engineer. he’ll fix the windows on the westin building. norwood doesnt give a hoot about black people or the westin building. if another black person says im black and voting for norwood also state your gender because you are also probably a woman and amongst the gaggle of penis envious dikes that infest and threaten to ruin our great city. indeed, morehouse and spelman are not real colleges, but please do not speak ill of Clark Atlanta or Morris Brown. Clark Atlanta is the pinnacle of higher education since the doors of the illustrious Morris Brown were closed by the likes of Mary Norwood and the white power structure. Kasim Reed will open more community centers and hire more cops. Thank you you racists and politically misinformed. Kasim Reed for mayor and Senior Partner. Thanks again.

PoliticalOracle wants to turn ATL into the “Detroit of the South.”

I am in fact a resident of Norcross and I am a black man…would you like me to send you a photo?
Yes Norcross has plenty of issues that need to be dealt with and one day soon I do plan on doing something about it. See I don’t want the issues of South West Atlanta to destroy my area of Norcross known as Peachtree Corners.
Look I love this state and I love the city of Atlanta. I am simply tired of the reverse racism I see. Ultimately the mayor of Atlanta has nothing to do with where I am, but let’s be real, as Atlanta goes so goes this state. I just don’t want this place to become California “SOUTH”.

i think its funny how a edvard a black student notices how bad the reverse racism here in the city of atlanta is, its not like this in the north, whoever is the best candidate wins, i think its funny how a reverse discrimination lawsuit was won by a white guy that was fired for absolutely no reason in college park. by another smooth talking black politician, and thats all kasim reed is, hell scream and cry when he talks to his supporters, which to me is pathetic, just about as pathetic as politicalorbical or whatever, and im sorry but it just seems like 90 percent of the crime in atlanta is commited by black youths, and they arent gonna goto youths centers to hang out and stay out of trouble, the music they listen to doesnt ENDORSE that!

Nobody has called you an Uncle Tom, which is why I believe you’re on this post just to incite racial undertones. You can support whoever you choose. Be honest, you’re not black. You’re not even from Atlanta (Brett Shepherd, Norcross). You don’t belong on this blog. Find somewhere else to get your racial rocks off. No one hsa a problem with Mary Norwood getting endorsements, voters just want her to earn them from respectable leaders. It is a shame that no one on the Atlanta City Council has endorsed Mary Norwood, not even her neighboring district councilmembers. No Howard Shook, No Anne Fauver, No Clair Muller (in her own run-off, so kind of understandable), No Carla Smith. This sends a strong message, that the very people that will have to pass the measures she creates, won’t endorse Mary Norwood. Ralph Long seems to be a nice guy – a little misguided, but nice. The question I have is, why is he so hell-bent on supporting anybody that’s against the Mayor at the risk of elected the least effective and non-leadership oriented councilmember.

Also Brett, Norcross has its own issues with drug trafficking and gang violence so maybe you should stick to helping your own city.

Thanks!

As a black man I want to know why Norwood can’t do the job? Hell Shirley was a black woman, Campbell a black man and they did an awful job. Call me an uncle tom if you want, since that’s what we as black folks do when we meet someone that doesn’t agree that all things black are right. I think Norwood should be given the chance because all Kasim is going to do is grease the palms of his friends and family. ‘
The sad and yet funny irony to all of this is the fact that had Lisa Borders been white and endorsed Mary Norwood, there would be a march on Atlanta demonstration going on right now…and we all know who the keynote speakers would be…
To Snake eyes, the minority community must stick together? What an ignorant statement that is. How about this one…the black community needs to quit screaming racism at every damn thing and figure out why our youths continue to kill one another.

Lisa made the right move—Kasim is the best candidate—Norwood’s done nothing for the community. Kasim will bring more money back to the city from the state legislature, to improve all these problems that exist! The minority community must stick together.

Well did anyone think otherwise that the black candidate would support the black candidate to keep the hatred and wealth envy going. Now with Roy Barnes putting support behind Reed it shows that the King Rat wants to have the support of blacks to try and put him back into office so he can finish off Georgia since he was stopped before after one term. This shows the total need for term limits to all politicians and lets make all of the offices two year terms only so that we can get rid of the crooks, liars, and backstabbers a lot easier and lets make recall of politicians easier and lets do away with party designations altogether and make a candidate earn the office by having to work with no political contributions over $250 dollars from all.
