From our "friends" at the NAACP.
You see, they are worried that the "wrong sort" might get appointed as mayor of Baltimore after the incumbent gets convicted of her felonious behavior.
"Our concern is who would the governor appoint?" (Marvin L. Cheatham, the president of the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP) said. "Here you have a predominantly African-American city. What if the governor appointed somebody white? ... Would he appoint someone Irish to be the mayor?"
Whatever would Dr. King say? After all, this certainly takes the notion of judging based upon the content of one's character rather than the color of one's skin and blows it all to Hell and back!
