In Savannah, there are two Black people running for mayor. But some local politicos considered that a problem. They did not want to split the Black vote; they wanted Blacks to unify around one of the two and elect a Black mayor. For that purpose they held a meeting including the two Black candidates at Bolton Street Baptist Church . . . with “Black Press Only!” signs on the door.
But that’s not racist. Nope.
But let’s say there were two White people running for mayor. And some local politicos considered that a problem. They did not want to split the White vote; they wanted Whites to unify around one of the two and elect a White mayor. And let’s say for that purpose they held a meeting including the two White candidates at White Street Baptist Church . . . with “White Press Only!” signs on the door.
Now that would be RACIST.
But that meeting at Bolton Street Baptist wasn’t racist at all.
You’re welcome. Always glad to clear things up for my readers.
