So here's our parting gift -- Dean Grose, mayor of the Southern California city Los Alamitos, gets called-out/busted sending an email depicting watermelons on the White House lawn titled "No Easter Egg Hunt at the White House this year." He apparently wasn't thinking and sent it to an African-American woman, Keyanus Price, who had some choose words for him & reported the offense. He of course had a lame excuse for the email and apologized, however Ms. Price is requesting a public apology.
The city is outraged -- and so much that Wednesday morning Grose found a smashed watermelon on his office doorstep! Wow -- so, needless to say he announced today that he'll resign.

So what are your thoughts on this, I have something to say about this of course, but i'll post mine in a followup.. ya dig?
Did you hear that someone smashed a watermelon on his front door???
ReplyDeleteACTUALLY, i'm glag you mentioned that -- it was actually at HIS OFFICE, not his home (according to: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29395662).
ReplyDeleteI embedded the related topic links in the story. If you click on the unlined words (such as watermelon), it will take you to the sources of my posting.
