A tiny Mississippi delta town has elected its first black mayor after the white incumbent, unopposed for 30 years, faced a young challenger inspired by Obama's taking of the White House.
In Alligator, Mississippi, (population 220), a dying town with only memories of better times, Tommie “Tomaso” Brown, 38, defeated Robert Fava, the mayor since 1979, owner of the town's general store, Mary Ann’s Country Store, named after his wife.
After the election, some youngsters ran into Mr Fava’s store to taunt him. “They was pulling down their pants, shouting,
Kiss my black ass, because we got a black mayor,swinging their things around and throwing stuff,” said Jennifer Green, 31, a black mother of 10.
Thirty one, living in a town of 220 with no jobs and no future, but still has ten kids. Obviously a Supreme court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg candidate if ever there was one...
These "youngsters", the ones that pulled down their Pants and were shouting kiss my black ass? What "things" were they swinging around? Whose "stuff" were they throwing around? Are they just ignorant and spite-filled anomalies, or are they the examples of today's younger black generation? Hate filled and vengeance bound?
