Mayor uses racist slurs
For those who live in “post-race” America, its time to acknowledge the rose-colored spectacles. Racism must be well and alive in the country where even a mayor at his position of responsibility uses supremacist slurs while addressing racial minorities.
Coopertown in Tennessee has a mayor Danny Crosby who while swearing in a new police officer on Martin Luther King Day said, “Happy James Earl Ray Day” as a reference to King’s assassin. Crosby has displayed highest form of despicable behavior if the 17-page complaint against him filed by the attorney general of the district after one-sixth of the entire town brought a petition is to be believed. While making the town a “traffic trap” to earn ticket revenues, his targets are easily Hispanic drivers, who he thinks are “mostly illegal anyway”.
He has three weeks to respond to the charges.
