Anyone need time to catch up? A suburban developer who is used to getting his way runs into some resistance and throws a temper tantrum. And while the government of Atlanta may be a little too racialy sensitive, to call Mayor Franklin racist is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard and, living in Georgia, I have heard some pretty dumb things.

Your statements are akin to Kanye West proclaiming that George Bush hates black people because something bad happened to black people in New Orleans during Katrina. I bet you thought, as I did, that Kanye West's remarks in that regard were idiotic. Yours are similarly (actually, identically) idiotic. While there are legitimate discussions to be had about the failings or inadequacies of Bush on Katrina and/or the city on the Beltline, Kanye and yourself seem to prefer resorting to making idiotic racial statements.

It's a supposition, HeroV, and a suspicion. You will probably point out to me that you, in fact, are a white liberal who works for her as proof of her not being anti-white. "Proof" like that is not proof of anything, as Bill Campbell had some whites working for him as well. Tell you what, you give me some good reasons as to why Atlanta is offering strong resistance to the Beltline and maybe I'll change my viewpoint of Shirley. If all you offer up is calling me an idiot, then this engagement will end right here. She worked under both administrations as I recall and not just as an office flunky.

I am particularly impressed with the examples you have listed to support your "anti-white" claim. Because an idiot would have just posted ridiculous conclusory statements with no supporting facts, and you are clearly not an idiot. Oh my bad, yes you are an idiot (with respect to this discussion). Bill Simon,
