Not an ‘us’ or ‘them’ thing

It's so easy for me, white, middle class, to turn my back or judge South Columbus for its crime problem. But it's not a community problem. It's a people problem. And we're all God's people.

It’s not needed up there

From 2008-2013 the nine biggest U.S. banks pocketed $80 billion they hid under "loopholes." Trump wants to reduce their taxes to 15%. Wake up. That's where the money is we need to run this country.

Profitable alliance

I guess Obama's a greater person than Hillary. He's getting $400,000 to speak to Wall Street. She only gets $250,000 per speech. And all this time we thought these people despised Wall Street!

Not her turf

What I don't understand is, why was our mayor on MSNBC discussing an election in a district north of Atlanta? Since when does she represent that district?

Pick the right culprits

Don’t blame Mayor Tomlinson for our shootings. The fault lies with the gun-crazed NRA nuts who insist that every maniac should have a gun.
