Warner Robins councilman under fire for suggesting black colleague belongs in cotton field


The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A Warner Robins City Council member has been asked to consider resigning by the local NAACP after telling a black colleague Monday that he belongs "in a cotton field."


.Councilman Daron Lee, apparently feeling disrespected during a debate, told fellow council members "he wasn’t going to be talked to like he was working in a cotton field." Councilman John Williams responded, "You should be."

Williams, charged with filing a false police report earlier this year, said he regretted any hurt the comment may have caused but didn't apologize for it.

Other than comestically,what would that change?

It would only satisfy shallow thinkers.

We must reminded that the basis for equality among the races have never been taught.

They only teach whites to be &quot;tollerant&quot; of blacks. What need is there be be tollerant of an equal?

The reality of using tollerance to maintain elude the so-called educated black people.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 17pt">Why did the black guy bring up 'cotton field' in the first place?</span></span>

He could have said something like, 'I'm not going to be talked to like I'm an idiot,' for example.

Idiots come in all colours. Like this black idiot.

As in &quot; take your cotton picking hands off that thing boy&quot;'.

Or &quot; this is not about picking cotton boy&quot;.

This is no cotton field &quot;boy&quot;.
