An argument which took place at a council meeting in Warner Robins, Georgia has caught the attention of the NAACP, after a white councilman told his black counterpart that he should be working in a cotton field.
Larry Holmes, president of the NAACP in Houston County said, “They need to learn to respect each other, and they need to stop all the name calling,” “Ever since this new council was elected, there has been different problems. For one thing, they just can’t seem to function there in a more pleasant and peaceful manner.”
The heated argument captured on tape was between council members John Williams, who is white, and Daron Lee, who is black.
During the exchange, Lee said he was tired of being interrupted and was upset about how he was treated at an earlier meeting.
“I was disrespected last Monday. I’m getting about tired of you all, talking to me any kind of way. I’m not working in a cotton field,” Lee said.
Williams paused for a second and then replied, “You should be.”
The racial talk continued during the public comment period of the meeting. One resident suggested that the City Council should get diversity training. I think that’s a good suggested idea, especially since so many people seem to be heated because there is a black man sitting in the White house.
President of the Houston County NAACP said, “if they can’t work together then maybe somebody needs to resign.”
