Effective Race Baiting 101: The Harvey Johnson Edition
Well the results are in and the people of Jackson have apparently spoken on who the next mayor of Jackson will be. Harvey Johnson easily cruised past Marshand Crisler last night in the Democratic Primary Runoff.
The good people of Jackson showed once again how easily duped they can be by caving to the race baiting tactics of Mr. Harvey Johnson, who so effectively scared black people in to thinking that Marshand Crisler was in bed with the white money in northeast Jackson. You have to give Harvey credit though he played the race card very well and used it to his advantage to get people to support him.
It is sad though that race baiting like this goes on and is seldom brought out to the public unless it is a case of a black candidate being discriminated against by whites. What Harvey Johnson did was associate Marshand Crisler to white money in order to scare black voters into thinking they could not possibly vote for a man who associates with and takes campaign contributions from white people. Racism.
Good luck Jackson!
