Audio Recording Catches Georgia School Superintendent Using N-Word Like It's 1799

As part of the court filings, lawyers representing Ingram presented evidence of Hamby’s racism, including two audio recordings of Hamby talking to someone on a construction site, channeling his inner plantation-owning personality:

“Can you get me a, show me our general how many of these deadbeat n****s we employ?” Hamby asks the unidentified man, following up his inquiry with: “Have you got more of these big n****s than the ones from the temp service?”

He airs his frustrations over a “deadbeat n****s” who was caught using his cell phone while waiting on a fork lift, yelling: “Fuck that n****s. I’d kill the goddamned... shoot that motherfucker if they let me ... Alright. Well check out what’s going on with all the n****s down there.”

Apparently the other voice is the chairman of the Buford school board and long time head of the city commission:

That is unhealthy for any institution. He needs to retire or be retired.

His cousin is a sweet kid who is not, in any way, a racist.

As a Georgia resident, I am, sadly, not surprised by the awful language of the Buford school superintendent.

Doing probably the cushiest job you can have.

Looks like there's a reckoning with all these local shitwads who only have their jobs because of cronyism and nepotism. Those "deadbeat pavers" probably do more work in a week than this dude does for an entire damned year.
