Mayor Johnson Looks to the Future But Had Better Look to the Past.

Well the little lady had damned well better be looking to the past! The very recent past, when she and her cohorts let Mitch Johnson and Linda Miles run the city and in doing so paid out thousands of tax payer dollars in bribe money to minority contractors (and we can only guess at how much they themselves were able to pocket in kickbacks), destroyed a good man's life and crippled a once highly rated police department. Her proposal that a town meeting be held to reconcile the problems with the Wray case and the GPD is beyond stupid, but not at all surprising. We all get together and have a little town hall meeting and everyone who can get their name on the roster gets three minutes to rant and rave and then we just sweep it all under Greensboro's Filthy Political Rug and go on so that Yvonne and Company can go on pocketing the tax payers money and playing back room politics. No way.Just for the Hey of it, has anyone ever taken note of how many "non-profits" who have had their fingers in the city and county pockets are Black operated? And just how many of these "non-profit" operators are members of the Simkins PAC and/or the Black Pulpit forum? Look into it and I promise you won't be surprised if you have been at all aware of what has been happening during the past decades. Well, things have changed!
Yvonne Johnson won because there was no one running against her. The 14,000+ votes that Milton (I'm not really running) Kern got were really votes against Yvonne Johnson. She doesn't seem to know this yet, but she will get the message. I'm sure the Simkins PAC and Pulpit Forum who are not at all stupid people have seen the hand writing on the wall. So look for the criminals to try to grab as much as they can get their hands on of city, county and state funds before the curtain falls on a sad day for Blacks in politics in Greensboro/Guilford when the scum rose to the top.
I have hopes that a younger group of Black men and women will be coming forward in the future. People who will be more like those who had great moral fiber and started the Simkins PAC in the beginning. Those who perhaps walked with Mr. King and heard his message. It certainly was not to get control and then steal everything in sight that wasn't nailed down as has been the case for several decades now in Greensboro/Guilford. It is my hope that these young Blacks will understand there is a great deal to do in the Black community and it will not be done by rioting in the streets or writing petitions about "insufferable racism". It is a time for Black men and women to go into the lower class Black neighborhoods and try to instill some semblance of decency and responsibility into the young Blacks who have grown up in fatherless homes (illegitimacy rate 1965 28% and 2005 78%) and taught that they are victims of White racism with no way out of the ghetto but thru drugs and crime. It is time for Blacks themselves to take a hand in correcting the problems of Blacks at the grassroots. Just as Whites stood with the Blacks and went into the ghettos to teach Blacks to sign their names so they could vote and have their voices heard two generations ago. Just as the Whites and Blacks petitioned their Congressmen and women to write laws guaranteeing the rights of all humans to choose how they want to live and where they want to live. The time of the White activist is over in the ghetto. I would get my lily white buns shot off if I dared to go in as I did 40 years ago. My time and the old guard, the first to stand up and say No to racism is past. The second group to come forward went two ways: the first and largest group made use of what was done and the changes that were made in the laws and the attitudes of the people to better themselves and their families. A smaller group in this second wave chose to follow the Jesse Jacksons, and Al Sharptons and the Julian Bonds and on a smaller scale the Yvonne Johnsons and Skip Alstons and Earl Jones and the rest of their Simkins PAC and Pulpit Forum cohorts into anger and defeatism and victim-hood that these bottom feeders spewed out. Garnering wealth to themselves while the poor Blacks in the ghettos continued a downward path of self destruction.
Yes, Yvonne old girl, it is perhaps time for you to look back at your years of so called "public service" and perhaps actually start doing some public service before you are called upon to stand before God and answer for your contributions to the welfare of your brothers and sisters here on the earthly plain.
