Kansas Councilman Screams ‘Black N*gger B*tch — Go Back To Baltimore’ At Teen Girl

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/05/27/kansas-councilman-screams-black-ngger-btch-go-back-to-baltimore-at-teen-girl-video/

A road rage incident where young 17-year-old Kali Chatmon nearly collided with Edwardsville, Kansas, City Councilman Chuck Stites has a community beyond upset. Not because of the near-accident, but what was said by the Councilman to the young girl after she began to apologize....

Feeling bad about almost hitting his car, she apologized, but then Stites went off on Chatmon in the most horrendously racist way possible. He proceeded to then roll down his window, calling her a “Black n*gger b*tch,” and told her that she should “go back to Baltimore.”

After the incident, Chatmon told her parents what happened and everyone was extremely upset, but it wasn’t until the family later realized that the man who was raging at her was none other than a city councilman that they became livid.

Chatmon’s family, as well as the community and the Bonner Springs NAACP chapter, is calling for Stites to resign. They don’t want an obvious racist to sit on the city council, a council that is supposed to represent the will of the people.


Isn't that kind of redundant?

"Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow, one less white n****r."

And now I've got a cool earworm!

It's almost as if blacks have to be perfect and if any black person does something wrong, it's a reflection of the entire race.

When whites do something wrong, it's never about race.

Don't believe me? Check out the comments when looking at crime stories. If a black person commits a crime, it's because of their race.

When white people commit crimes, race is never an issue.

Seeing this councilman go off on a racist tirade because of a near auto accident is hardly surprising.

He came out with that because she did NOT hit his car, and was sorry for the near miss. Think what he would have done if she did hit the car, then copped an attitude.

It's too bad it wasn't caught on tape or video because this will surely cause more outrage.

I thought stuff like this only happened in the South?

Yeah, it's always the other person who does wrong by getting offended.

It's amazing how may layers of deniability and passive voice they can cram into one pseudoapology.
