In a 2023 text message, Councilmember Freddie King said he blocked a 278-unit apartment complex near his English Turn home because he didn’t “want dread heads and bonnet wear fools next to me.” But in a deposition, King said he was only satirizing protesters who were accusing the council of discrimination.
How come black elites can pander for votes and access , but once they have it they denigrate and discard us just like non-blacks in positions of power have a tendency to do? How do we hold people to account?
