It's come down to a runoff between Kasim Reed and Mary Norwood. Reed is black. Norwood is white. So ... we have a racially-charged runoff coming up. I'm guessing Reed will be the next Atlanta Mayor. Why? Because votes will be cast on racial lines, and there are more black than white voters in Atlanta. Mary Norwood has made some statements recently indicating how horrible she thinks Republicans are ... so I can't see Republicans making any real effort to vote in the runoff. In my view the big difference between the two is that Reed voted for the recent massive property tax increase and Norwood voted against it.
Let's also make this point. Blacks who vote for the black candidate on the basis of race are conscientious voters. Whites who vote for the white candidate on the basis of race are --- racists.

of this is that there have been 43 presidential elections where African-Americans voted for white candidates. In all of those elections white presidents were put into office with the help of African-American voters. How many African-American governors have been elected in the state of Georgia by the white majority? I know the answer . . . do you? If not, look
it up. I have relatives in states like Mississippi, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. How many African-American governors have been elected in those states by the white majority? I know the answer . . .do you? If not, look it up. But let an African-American majority elect an African-American over a white and all of a sudden race is a factor. White people PLEASE!!! LOL!!! Get a grip on reality and stop playing the RACE CARD! This country has 400 years of example I can give where whites have routinely and systematically NOT voted for an African-American just because they were African-American. Again, stop playing the RACE
CARD!
