Pensions, Bankruptcy . . . and Racism?
23rd December 2010
The Other McCain pulls back the curtain.
The current municipal government is all-black. The population of Pritchard is 84% black. And many (but not all) of the retirees are white.
Does that have something to do with the seeming indifference of the city council to its pension obligations? Perhaps this is irrelevant, but I have a hard time imagining that the New York Times would ignore such a factor if an all-white city government in an 84-percent white town were cheating its black pensioners.
It’s only racism if white people do it.
