I was talking an individual from the 4th Commissioners District, Douglas County, and the word/rumor is that he has moved to that area, and by the time qualifying comes up, he will be qualified to run for the Commissioner's seat, and intends to, for the 4th District.
I had to laugh my butt off on that.

Don't worry. Mr. Quarterman shoots himself in the foot often enough that by the time he pokes his head out again, someone far more worthy will show up as well. Any place he goes, there needs to be at least a far better qualified minority person to run against him and that should take care of that. If he stays out of jail in the first place. I wonder how his wife puts up with him?

Why does it have to be a minority person to run against him? That's a rather racist statement. The gentleman I spoke with today was an articulate and intelligent gentleman that intends to run for the seat himself. Sorry - he's white. Crabapple wrote: Don't worry.

Sorry - he's white. <quoted text> Unfortunately, a minority would do better against Quarterman. Blacks will only vote for blacks. Haven't you noticed they put their pictures on their signs on the side of the road? That's so you know they are black. If you think I'm kidding. Look at the demographics in the polls. I know several politicians that are considering not running just because they feel they can't win against a black candidate. The county is supposedly 35% black, but as you can clearly see, that's not the case. Any time you go any where, whites are the minority.

That may be the case - but it's still a racist statement. Just because there is a black candidate - a white candidate should step up regardless - even if he/she doesn't think they can win. The registered voters of this county - which is all that matters in a Commission race - is yes - around 35%. So the issue is to win over a percentage of the black vote, and get out the white vote strong and steady if you are a white candidate. Again - it's a sad thing that people are voting in accordance to a person's color. Wasn't that supposed to have gone to the way side with Obama's election? Oh - that's right - that only works for those that throw out the race card. ANON ME wrote: <quoted text> Unfortunately, a minority would do better against Quarterman.

OR they put their picture on their signs because like most politicians they are vain and full of themselves. Anyone who votes color is a fool regardless of their shade. Sure it happens and this close to Atlanta get used to it. Even if the county is 35% black that doesn't indicate how many of them can vote but even if they all are registered and ALL vote black, wouldn't it make some sense that the other 70% would override such a vote? It would if white folks were a close knit, cohesive voting bloc. Instead white Americans are the absolute worst infighting group under the sun and can rarely agree because they split themselves across different parties. Most black Americans vote for whatever democrat is running. So basically white voters get what they deserve for failing to unify. Grobbbbbbb

Females are a minority when it comes to running for positions like this. Ga Patriot, now it is your own racism that is showing. However, the reason that Mr. Quarterman is such a threat is that people of color are his people and from viewing the last election, he almost won, not because of his intellect or his positions on anything but because he symbolizes the struggle that people of his race feel against the powers that be here in Douglas County. It was not meant to be a racist statement but a statement of fact. Observation trumps what-ifs and mere words. When it comes to James Quarterman, being politically correct is just dangerous. He has proved it many times right here in this forum. I have yet to find anyone in a position of power around here that doesn't think he is a screwball.

Further, I deal with black people all the time and they have no trouble being called black. If I tell a black person that I just talked to a black guy who told me something, the person I am talking to has no problem with that at all and neither do I. Yet you could point fingers and say "why does the person you are referring to have to be 'black?' Why can't you just say that you talked to a person?" Well, because it makes it easier and more specific to communicate about the person. We all say "I just talked to a lady ..." so with the same logic, you could say, "why does it have to be a sexist comment like that? Why can't you just say that you talked to a person?" I don't give a crap if anyone thinks I'm racist or not, I get along with latinos and asians and black people just fine. Some of them are friends enough to come over for a visit fairly often or I visit them. I have yet to offend any of them no matter what I've said.

We use things that stand out or are most different from us personally to describe others.Their color is the first thing we see so it is used most often,or their sex male or female, if the person is white we might see their blond hair they will be described as that blond or that dumb blond.Hey you know that redhead!, or you know that little short person, even Hey you know that kid with the bad skin.Short,tall,fat skinny what ever stands out, if nothing stands out about their body then we go to clothing,car,etc.What I'm trying to say is that most of the time most people are not being racial they are just using the thing that stands out most when describing somebody else.If you live in a apartment complex and you don't know your black neighbors name most would refer to them by their color, if you know them, you would use their name,same with the blond downstairs,or the good looking guy down the hall. There is lots of racism around, but lets not forget its not alway so and its just human nature to sort out differences when describing others.

To say black people only vote for black people is not racist (a bit inaccurate, but not racist, as some blacks vote for whites-- most would vote for a black over a much more qualified white). Both phrases have sufficient truth to them. The FACT that Most blacks will only vote for a black, regardless of his/her qualifications, when there is someone else of a different race running, that FACT is bigoted and possibly racist, but to state a fact, even if it is not completely accurate but has a great deal of truth to it, would not be racist.

Qtard just sent an email to about 50 people saying there is a "New Democratic Party" in Douglas County and he is the Chairman. They have an organizing party Sat. I might go just to have a good laugh. Their focus is restoring "civil rights and civil liberties." Why is it always about fighting whitey. On a local level, the issues are pretty much the same regardless what party you are from. He's trying to latch onto the school board issue. Really getting tired of Qtard latching on to what I'm doing and copying my comments as his own. What an idiot.

....and I shall print this out, and I will read it. I will read it when I fool myself into thinking things are 'okay' around here, not so bad after all. I will read it when my child tells me she won't join the band because it's all black anyway. I will read it when I start thinking maybe, just maybe, we could stay here. I will read it when I begin researching the pros and cons of foreclosure..... Thank you for your TRUE words of wisdom. Why did I have to buy a house in the ARMPIT of Douglasville????? rick c wrote: lets all face the impending future of d'ville, its going black! douglasville has turned out to be the place of choice for them escapeing clayton, fulton, dekalb, and all other places especially from up north. the race for commissioner and sheriff was way to close last year for them not to have a major leadership role in the near furture. you people think its bad now. the best is yet to come!
