According to The Blade, Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner issued a statement criticizing the removal of Rob Ludeman, 4 1/2 months before his term was up, as "pettiness, bitter partisanship, and ongoing political gamesmanship."

That's only the tip of the iceberg, Carty. Why not call a spade a spade? RACE was the determining factor in ousting the white man to appease the black community and curry their vote, as the state Democratic Party knows full well, playing the race card. The Blade reports Councilman Frank Szollosi, who is white, as confessing the election of an "African-American as council president was important to the black community... [citing] the recent departures of former Toledo Public Schools Superintendent Eugene Sanders, former Mayor Jack Ford, and former city Councilman Karyn McConnell Hancock, all African-Americans who were replaced by white males."

How hateful! How racist! Yet this same hypocritical ilk often nod amen to those who preach about being color blind and all for equality, while insuring "affirmative action" and its racist attitude puts blacks into office because they are black, first and foremost.

Clearly, too many blacks and self-hating, defeatist whites have a problem with white people in elected positions of power and see red until they see black replace white. Isn't this highly offensive to the white community? Don't we dare consider the white community? Are white people too afraid to speak up or take a stand because they'll be beaten down with irrelevant charges of "racism" (when those hurling such accusations are often guilty of it)?

There goes the neighborhood. Look at Detroit, Toledo. There goes the country. Look at South Africa or Zimbabwe, America. That's where you're headed fast and now is the only time and possible chance you have to save your city and your country! White flight in Africa isn't just a move to the suburbs for all the right reasons, but now often includes moving to predominantly white countries (that are increasingly having their own racial problems).

If Ashford truly possessed leadership qualities he would have refused to accept such a pyrrhic victory, and he would have refused to engage in such racist machinations and exposed and condemned them. Let this be a warning to white leaders and white people, a wake-up call about how those who make a big noise about fair play don't play fair and have no apologies seeking to "advance" their candidates over more qualified ones.

From The Blade: Ashford's challenge "One uncomfortable factor underlying this whole fracas is the role racial politics played in Mr. Ashford's election. Insiders know that the three black members of Council - Mr. Ashford, Wilma Brown, and Phil Copeland - were unwilling to agree to another white Council president. The post was coveted by Mr. Szollosi and Joe McNamara, who finally managed to engineer the coup against Mr. Ludeman with support from the black members, even though each of the two believed he was a better choice than Mr. Ashford. Mr. Ashford, who would become mayor if something happened to Mr. Finkbeiner, represents District 4, which includes the old north end, the Lagrange neighborhood, the Old West End, and downtown. He thus faces several challenges, not the least of which is to disabuse middle-class Toledoans of the notion that he has a narrow agenda that does not represent their broader interests..." ********** If Ashford truly possessed leadership qualities
