Brooks: shut the hell up!! you are what's wrong with memphis every single time you and your RACIST kind don't get what you want you start b*tching and screaming the race card. But then again that's all you have to offer is racism because you have nothing else to contribute. That CRUTCH you and your fellow RACISTS lean on is slowly going away because the real people and leaders are tired of WEAKLINGS AND LOUDMOUTHS like you screwing up what was once a great city. Race pimp LEECHES like you infested the area and now memphis is one of the most joked about and spit on cities due to RACE BAITERS like you.

"The civil war is over, ya'll lost," said Commissioner Heidi Brooks. Who is "ya'll"? Nobody in that room fought in the civil war, so how did they lose? I just googled Heidi Brooks. Come to find out she's a porn star.

How can we expect our children to respect each other when the "adult" leaders cannot set a decent example? Why do we get bent out of shape when kids fight because of race issues when so-called adults do the same thing? Problem is, the adults are in the public spotlight; the kids are only on the streets. Just what are those idiots trying to teach anyway? That it's ok for politicians to fight over race issues? Can't you people just grow up?
