I don’t understand why you or anyone else who supports Mary have to be so callous in your approach to this race. I am not saying all of her supporters but many of you. You want to know what type of clients, I believe Outkast was one, Latoya Luckett, Goodie MOB, all some of the most positive musical rap/soul/R&B artist you can find. Atlanta is known (to the transplants) for it’s rich musical history. We are not offended by all of our music, only some and Mr. Reed does not represent them. In fact, he left his practice to run for Mayor. Why didn’t Mary eliminate her business partnership with the city of Atlanta through her company ONE CALL WEB. I would like to know where you get off positioning Mary as a good candidate for Mayor. She has never supported the GAYS, terrible business woman, never reads any of the briefings she recieved from Council or the Administration. Lies and says she never recieved information as an 8 year, 2 term Councilmember. WTFE!!!!!!!! She is running purely on being white and thinking it’s time for a white person because the numbers of blacks that have pushed out. Now I am not , not supporting Mary because she is white. It is because she is STUPID and she thinks we are stupid. But I see some of us ARE and it looks there is an audience for her here in Atlanta after all. I never thought Atlanta would elect Sarah Palin, let alone her step mother Mary. HA!!!! You get what you deserve if you elect this foolish, gibering, crazy, dishonest so-called politician who sleeps in the republican closet!

And no one does this better than Joseph Lowery, Andrew Young, Aaron Turpeau, and Bunny Jackson in their predicatable racially-charged endorsements of Kasim Reed. The double standard is alive well with Galloway and the AJC who allow these people essentially a free pass. Fortunately, a good number of black Atlantans see through these self-serving statements of the Black Political Establishment / Jackson Machine. Norwood clearly has earned support in the Black Community as someone who worked to deliver public service to African-American neighborhoods when sometimes, their own council members — and state legislators –would not. That is why Norwood won about 25% of the African-American votes cast on Nov. 3. I’m die-hard Democrat and I support Mary Norwood. Enough of the racial politics and racist slurs by bloggers on both sides here.
