So what is going on with Tom Henry transition team on the issue of inclusiveness? Hopefully, Henry is reaching into the African-American community to avoid folks like this:
"A Democrat who serves in the Louisiana legislature called a black supporter "Buckwheat" just days before the runoff election that will determine whether or not she returns to Baton Rouge.
Rep. Carla Blanchard Dartez said "Talk to you later, "Buckwheat" at the end of a telephone conversation with a black woman who helped drive voters to the polls on Election Day. (Buckwheat was a character in The Little Rascals who has come to symbolize demeaning racial stereotypes.)" read more
How about he reachs out to all citizens regardless of race. Why should there be a distinction?
