I want the DUmmie’s opinion on the group only allowing white media members to attend their meeting concerning candidates for mayor in Savannah. Surely they must be racist. Surely there must be outrage.
Wait a minute... I just looked at the article again. I had my colors wrong so I guess it’s all okay.

Was the answer to the title question anywhere in that article?
Here's another article about that meeting:
Only black reporters allowed in Georgia mayoral race event (http://"https://www.onlineathens.com/nationworld/20190328/only-black-reporters-allowed-in-georgia-mayoral-race-event")
SAVANNAH, Ga. | Race was front and center on Wednesday night during a meeting coordinated to garner support for just one black candidate in Savannah’s mayoral election.
With signs stating “Black press only” on the doors of the church where the meeting was held, white reporters were barred from entry, while black reporters for at least two television stations were permitted inside.
The event was coordinated by the Rev. Clarence Teddy Williams, owner of the consulting firm, The Trigon Group, who declined to discuss the entry policy.
Former Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson declined to comment before going inside, as did Chatham County Commissioner Chester Ellis.
...
Savannah Alderman Estella Shabazz, who also attended, said that she had once owned a newspaper and she was a member of the black press, but she declined to comment on the policy barring white reporters from going inside.
While notes were allowed, photos, video and audio recordings were prohibited during the event, according to Stephen Moody, an African-American reporter with WJCL, who was allowed entry. Another reporter from WSAV who attended the meeting was told she could stay because she was black, Moody said.
Shirley James, the African-American publisher of the black-owned Savannah Tribune, was also seen going into the meeting.
Savannah Alderman Van Johnson, who is one of three African-Americans who have stated their intention to run for mayor, said afterwards that during the meeting he had talked about his vision for an inclusive and progressive Savannah. With regards to the discriminatory policy at the door, Johnson said he believed people have the right to assemble and determine the rules of their assembly.
...
Louis Wilson, who said he is going to run for mayor again after an unsuccessful run in 2015, also spoke during the meeting about his priorities. Afterwards, Wilson also declined to discuss the press restriction.
Which is more disgusting? The racial restriction? That so many "leaders" in Savannah played along with and punted about the racial restriction? That ABC affiliate WJCL and NBC/CW affiliate played along with the racial restriction?
Real LEADERs and real REPORTERS would have told the event organizer to lift the racial and recording restriction or F#$% off. I'd vote for Snoopy before I'd vote for a candidate - regardless of skin color or party affiliation - who imposed a skin color or reproductive plumbing restriction at one of his/her events!

I didn’t see an answer, but I assume it would be that they really are what they accuse Trump of being.

The Us vs. Them mindset was thick in the articles. The idea that government is supposed to benefit ALL law-abiding residents seems alien to these people who purport to be leaders there in Savannah.

It's never racist if it's done to a white person.
As I've been told many times before by black people I know..."it's impossible for a black person to be racist".

I saw it. I took a picture at a place that doesn't exist in the Known Universe.

Personally I'm all for the "only smoking hot babes media allowed" so I guess I'm a little discriminatory. :drool:
