Split Fulton County?

[Cool Cat GTR]

Why is it that everyone always thinks the world revolves around race? The world revolves around money. Color has nothing to do with it. For every instance where the rich want to dump the burden of supporting poor people, the race card is going to be played. So to read the article, I come away with the thought that the rich and poor/black or white or whatever you want to call it have done a piss poor job governing Fulton County. All people in Fulton are responsible regardless of wealth or race. My recommendation would be for Fulton County to cease totally and start over based solely on the obvious corruption and poor management of the government. Here's the only defense that the affluent can argue. The majority of the people residing in Fulton County elected people based on race rather than on abilities and by doing so have put the county at risk by having underqualified people governing them. If racism exists, it's because blacks were more concerned with a black holding office than they were with the success of the county. Sure, experienced black candidates exists and would make fine public servants but it they don't profess to be strong supporters of "black" people, they will not get elected. The perfect candidate should be a person that is concerned for the well being of "all" people. So if anyone wants to play the race card, they need to look in the mirror because they probably played that card when they voted.

Well said.

To anyone who thinks this is about race, I pose a question to you. How would you feel if you were pretty wealthy making the big bucks and getting taxed, but not seeing those tax dollars go to something useful like your childs public school, improved roads, parks, whatever? Instead that money goes to support some dumb bitch with 6 kids who won't get her fatass off welfare, and she doesn't even know who the damn dads are. How would you feel about that? Notice also I didn't bring a race into that equation, because color doesn't matter, only color that matters is green (the color of money for the color blind).

I don't know. Why don't you ask some of the pretty wealthy people on the southside how it feels? I would imagine it's pretty frustrating.
