Cops and administrators resign in small Missouri town after Black woman is elected mayor!

So you can't escape the fact that it's racist democrats that quit their jobs. No worries. Nobody expected you guys to be any different than the last 150 years.

I'll tell you what I really believe, not what you want to hear. IMHO, when it comes to race, there isn't much of a difference between Republicans and Democrats. White people stick together, period, when it comes to that! The political differences between the two parties hinges on a class system that pits the wealthy against the working classes. Race,though, is an obsession in this nation that transcends partisan politics. Still, the Democrats have emerged as the most tolerant (liberal) defenders of civil rights and equality, at least on the national level while the GOP has embraced members of every white hate group out there. From a Black perspective, the GOP is the worst of two evils for that reason alone. But there is more:

The GOP has alienated many poor and middle class Whites too by attacking Social Security, Medicare and other social safety nets that people have paid into like any other insurance policy. The Democrats offer the only viable alternative to the GOP's aim to destroy those so called "entitlements." The fight to keep those benefits is the fabric that binds Blacks and sensible working White people to the Democrat Party. Political cohesiveness has not necessarily wiped out racism in the Democrat party but it is slowly getting there. The GOP, OTOH, is chock full of self professed racists who offer no excuse for it at all. Most White males have aligned themselves with the GOP and voted overwhelmingly Republican in the last few national elections. Birds of a feather? You tell me!

Blacks stick together much better than whites, evidenced by the 95% black vote for Obama. No white presidential candidate can expect even a small racial solidarity vote. It's funny though, with how "tolerant" Democrats are, that there's been a surge of racial minorities running as Republicans. Don't they know how intolerant the GOP is?

The citizens of Parma, Mo. decided they wanted change after 37 years of mayoral domination by one person....an aging White male. That change came when Mayor Tyrus Byrd was sworn in as the new mayor.

White backlash soon reared it’s ugly head in the wake of the election when 80% of the city administrative employees, including cops, resigned. That certainly sent an ominous message that the new mayor won’t be getting much support from local White people.

Byrd, is not only female, she is Black too. Perhaps that combination was too much to bear for the pillars of the community.but it does show that the system is beginning to work to some degree for people of color. But is that enough? The resignation of top administrators and officials is sure to leave a gap in services and city matters that will have the new mayor scrambling to reorganize and keep things running. And who knows what dirty things former employees are willing to do in an attempt to make her fail.

The strategy of the former White administrators is clear. They apparently want to undermine the efforts of this newly elected mayor and will likely lead an exodus out of the city to incorporate elsewhere, taking their tax base with them.. But, that is mere speculation on my part. I have not read or heard that ALL local Whites are on board with osme White Flight conspiracy. We shall see!


Hopefully, the citizens who remain, regardless of race or political inclination, will band together and make this mayor’s tenure a successful one. The whole world is watching!

Looks like you are the person in your siggie there. Typical libtard jumping to conclusions with no facts to back them up.


"One thing both the newly elected mayor and the officer can agree on is that the issue has nothing to do with race or gender.

When we asked if she ever thought Parma, Mo. would reach national news, she said: "That's not my mission and it's still not in this way."

A week into office, Mayor Tyrus Byrd is still unclear about the "safety concerns" some of the former officials cited in the resignation to former Mayor Randall Ramsey.

One officials said off camera that race is the furthest thing from it.

"If I was going to lose my job anyways, I might as well start looking," said the officer.

The former officer claimed the safety concerns were in reference to some of Mayor Byrd's family members using social media to show how they plan to act now that she is in office.

"These posts were made by people that had active warrants through our city, and they were claiming it is now safe to return to Parma now that they have family that's the mayor now," he said."

Well, golly gee pumpkins! Looks like you are the green-haired drag queen suggested by your avatar: a knee jerk clown jumping to the conclusion that anyone who says something he/she doesn’t like is a “libtard.”

You didn’t state what conclusions I have “jumped” to without any facts to back them up.
I could wager a guess but I’ll wait for you to be more specific so as not to JUMP to a conclusion.

In response to your “facts,” I’ll say this: The mayor, being a Black Republican, is probably not going to risk alienating White people by admitting that race/gender might have played some part in the mass resignations. Black Republicans are quite good at telling White folks what they want to hear since those are the people whose votes they value most.

The former police officer’s statement may be credible to you but I suspect it’s just a diversion from the truth. His claim that criminal relatives of the mayor are going to somehow terrorize the town, now that she is in office, is thinly veiled racism to say the least. His sources? Social media? Give me a break and a BRAKE too.

The officer certainly does not express any confidence in the mayor’s Republicanism or her associated “conservatism.” He obviously sees her and her relatives as subversives of the White way of life. Had he not added that little clip concerning the mayor’s family, I might have been sold on this incident as being non- racial.

 

[Katzndogz]

Her criminal relatives will return bringing friends with them. Any attempt to interfere with criminal activity will be met with a haughty "Do you know who I am?"

Any decent law abiding person in this town should get out now.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The fear of white flight is strong in this one.

Who, ME?..I couldn't care less. I don't live in Missouri! Besides a person on my pay scale wouldn't be worried about white flight!

That poor huh?

See what I mean folks. This Black conservative mayor is given a vote of no confidence even before she gets her feet on the ground. And who are the most vociferous critics? White conservatives!...( notice I do not differentiate between White conservative Repubs or White conservative Dems here.)

A claim not born out by fact. And your siggie "Vote conservative and show how dumb you are!"

pretty much explains who you are as a person. Which is a libtard. In that you have a preconceived notion which no amount of factual data will convince you is wrong. Your OP was provably wrong.

The mayor herself says the resignations aren't about race, but somehow you're certain that she is lying to avoid unsettling her base? Do tell what the evidence is upon which you're basing this statement. Do you have some sort of transcript on what she was -really- thinking when you read her mind and determined that she was lying?

Also, what evidence do you have that the white police officers were conservative? Not only did you not cite any supporting documents in this assumption, but other than the fact that he had a dispute with a black politician, you haven't even tried to offer up any reason why you believe him to be conservative. Just attached the descriptor as though it's fact and proceeded to get butthurt when you got called out for jumping to conclusions.

Lemme help you out, here... You're not a verifiable mind-reader, therefore your pontification on what someone's true motives are, are based on a hunch. Your hunch is not factual and cannot rightly be called evidence, so when it is your basis for a strong opinion, as it is here, what you've done is jumped to a conclusion without evidence.

See how that works? All very straight forward.

The citizens of Parma, Mo. decided they wanted change after 37 years of mayoral domination by one person....an aging White male. That change came when Mayor Tyrus Byrd was sworn in as the new mayor.

White backlash soon reared it’s ugly head in the wake of the election when 80% of the city administrative employees, including cops, resigned. That certainly sent an ominous message that the new mayor won’t be getting much support from local White people.

Byrd, is not only female, she is Black too. Perhaps that combination was too much to bear for the pillars of the community.but it does show that the system is beginning to work to some degree for people of color. But is that enough? The resignation of top administrators and officials is sure to leave a gap in services and city matters that will have the new mayor scrambling to reorganize and keep things running. And who knows what dirty things former employees are willing to do in an attempt to make her fail.

The strategy of the former White administrators is clear. They apparently want to undermine the efforts of this newly elected mayor and will likely lead an exodus out of the city to incorporate elsewhere, taking their tax base with them.. But, that is mere speculation on my part. I have not read or heard that ALL local Whites are on board with osme White Flight conspiracy. We shall see!


Hopefully, the citizens who remain, regardless of race or political inclination, will band together and make this mayor’s tenure a successful one. The whole world is watching!

Looks like you are the person in your siggie there. Typical libtard jumping to conclusions with no facts to back them up.


"One thing both the newly elected mayor and the officer can agree on is that the issue has nothing to do with race or gender.

When we asked if she ever thought Parma, Mo. would reach national news, she said: "That's not my mission and it's still not in this way."

A week into office, Mayor Tyrus Byrd is still unclear about the "safety concerns" some of the former officials cited in the resignation to former Mayor Randall Ramsey.

One officials said off camera that race is the furthest thing from it.

"If I was going to lose my job anyways, I might as well start looking," said the officer.

The former officer claimed the safety concerns were in reference to some of Mayor Byrd's family members using social media to show how they plan to act now that she is in office.

"These posts were made by people that had active warrants through our city, and they were claiming it is now safe to return to Parma now that they have family that's the mayor now," he said."

Well, golly gee pumpkins! Looks like you are the green-haired drag queen suggested by your avatar: a knee jerk clown jumping to the conclusion that anyone who says something he/she doesn’t like is a “libtard.”

You didn’t state what conclusions I have “jumped” to without any facts to back them up.
I could wager a guess but I’ll wait for you to be more specific so as not to JUMP to a conclusion.

In response to your “facts,” I’ll say this: The mayor, being a Black Republican, is probably not going to risk alienating White people by admitting that race/gender might have played some part in the mass resignations. Black Republicans are quite good at telling White folks what they want to hear since those are the people whose votes they value most.

The former police officer’s statement may be credible to you but I suspect it’s just a diversion from the truth. His claim that criminal relatives of the mayor are going to somehow terrorize the town, now that she is in office, is thinly veiled racism to say the least. His sources? Social media? Give me a break and a BRAKE too.

The officer certainly does not express any confidence in the mayor’s Republicanism or her associated “conservatism.” He obviously sees her and her relatives as subversives of the White way of life. Had he not added that little clip concerning the mayor’s family, I might have been sold on this incident as being non- racial.

You ain't too bright are ya JQ? Here's the relevant part of your post...

"White backlash soon reared it’s ugly head in the wake of the election when 80% of the city administrative employees, including cops, resigned. That certainly sent an ominous message that the new mayor won’t be getting much support from local White people."

A claim not born out by fact. And your siggie "Vote conservative and show how dumb you are!"

pretty much explains who you are as a person. Which is a libtard. In that you have a preconceived notion which no amount of factual data will convince you is wrong. Your OP was provably wrong. Your siggie is likewise provably wrong. I know a lot of cons who are smart. Just as I know a lot of progressives who are not too bright.

My siggie bothers you, doesn’t it? Well, I’ll make you even more uncomfortable by defining the “word “conservative” as I meant it to be applied there. Anyone who has read my posts has seen that I normally use quotations around the word to imply that it really is a euphemism for bigotry, racism and intolerance. In that context the word “
conservative” bears little or no resemblance to the actual definition of which applies to millions of good Americans including me! I’ll add those quotations marks to my siggie soon so as not to confuse “smart” people like you!

Nope. Your siggie does nothing more than identify who and what you are. I don't care who you are. I take nothing personal. You can call me any sort of name and I could care less. However, anything you post is colored by your statements and your siggie. It's an identifier. That's all. And for the record, I'm a liberal. I am not a progressive though.

Thats not my "siggie," it's a statement; and, it defines what ever I say it does... not what YOU say it does. But my "siggie" is not the topic of this op, dude! The response to the new Mayor of Parma is the subject. OK?

And when you said you could care less, I'm fairly certain you meant to say you couldn't care less. Perhaps you think I'm just jumping to a conclusion by correcting you but inquiring minds want to know! Heh heh heh!

You are a liberal? What kind of liberal?... social, fiscal, hedonist, etc., Again, inquiring minds want to know?
BTW, you are not all THAT liberal or my "siggie" wouldn't have struck such a nerve with you. Why are you defending "conservatives?"

I am a social liberal but a fiscal conservative. Your siggie, as I have said before, doesn't bother me. But it does inform me of your opinions, and "could care less" Is equally correct. Feel free to look it up.

We dont need bad cops. We can easily break up the good old boy network and start a new.

If cops can't follow procedure quit.

Her criminal relatives will return bringing friends with them. Any attempt to interfere with criminal activity will be met with a haughty "Do you know who I am?"

Any decent law abiding person in this town should get out now.

See what I mean folks. This Black conservative mayor is given a vote of no confidence even before she gets her feet on the ground. And who are the most vociferous critics? White conservatives!...( notice I do not differentiate between White conservative Repubs or White conservative Dems here.)

You honestly don't see where you're jumping to conclusions?

The mayor herself says the resignations aren't about race, but somehow you're certain that she is lying to avoid unsettling her base? Do tell what the evidence is upon which you're basing this statement. Do you have some sort of transcript on what she was -really- thinking when you read her mind and determined that she was lying?

I honestly don't see where my so-called conclusions warrant any different scruitiny than those of anyone else posting here. We are all, to some extent ,concluding things based on what other people tell us when we post in this thread.

You've concluded the mayor was telling the truth without any mental evasion whatsoever. Why is that? You don't really know her do you? Neither of us do. But I think we both can agree that she is a politician and that politicians are known to lie when convenient. In this case , using my razor sharp wit and uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, I surmised that Tyrus really had no way of knowing what the people resigning were thinking when they did so. Is she a telepathic sage or something? So, in effect, she WAS lying and strategically structuring that lie to please her White constituents.

Another red herring jumped out at me when I read the statement given by one of the resigning police officers. Racism oozed from his words like an oil slick from a derailed train. He blew his cover by insinuating the mayor's relatives were criminals with outstanding warrants and were now conspiring to come back and terrorize the town. His intelligence gathering apparatus was , er... social media. Ahem!
I didn't see your comments decrying HIS credibility. Did I miss something? At the very least the ex-officer is an alarmist! In my opinion his statement further brands him a "conservative" like the one in my "siggie."
Do you understand now?

No, Ia m not a verifiable mind reader but I can read behavior and circumstances pretty well. I can also read between the lines and deftly withdraw enough evidence to conclude an intent. My"conclusion," as you put it was/is sound and based on experience with handling and processing evidence in criminal cases.

Your logic 101 fails; so, please stop trying to teach it . Give your students a chance to learn the truth.
