We Demand Carrollton Georgia's Mayor Pro Tem Jim Watters Resignation
Hi, I've never made a post like this so bear with me please.
I live in Carrollton, Georgia. Yes, the famous home of those two racist kids on tiktok that showed you guys how to make black people and were trending on twitter and all of that. Anyways...
Last week we had a peaceful protest for Black Lives Matter and for the reform of the police as we know it. We were on the local news and everyone praised us for "doing it right" and "showing all those 'hateful' people how it's done" and all that sappy bullshit.
Fast foward a week (today, June 9th 2020) and the city council had a council meeting (I believe they hold these every month) and there was a lot of racism and blatant ignoring of other people's input there. Before the meeting had even begun, a white officer had been yelling at a black man outside the courthouse and hit his car. All of this explained in this facebook post.
We seriously need help. We are a small, deep south town. Racism runs so rampant here and I'm scared it'll stay the same. We're trying to get our mayor out of office. He is extremely bigoted in ALL aspects and the mayoral seat is not up for re-election until 2023. Below are some of the screenshots from his facebook (I realize some of these are old, but the "negro" one is the most recent)
Please help us get him out of this position. We desperately need to get this extreme bigot out of here before he really gets someone hurt.
