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.
