Mayor of Ypsilanti Resigns

[Bryce]

Ypsilanti Mayor Beth Bashert is stepping down amid controversy over racists comments she made at a recent city council meeting.

Bashert announced her resignation on Facebook Tuesday, effective at 9 a.m.

The resignation comes after her comments during a city council meeting on Zoom June 16. The council was voting on the reappointment of city human relations commissioner Ka'Ron Gaines and Bashert's response was denounced by other council members.

"Since I will be crucified if I vote against any Black person on any commission, I'm going to vote 'yes,' " Bashert said.

Guess I'm just not woke. I fail to see how those comments can be taken to be racist. Recent happenings all over this country show her statement to be completely true. Playing the racist card has reached a fever pitch. The fact that protest's took place and she was forced to resign proves her statement to be true.

How can something that is true be racist?

Considering everybody else voted no on the matter she was incorrect. Why she felt the need to say it at all is beyond me.

It was a stupid remark, and I disagree completely that recent happenings around this country prove her statement to be completely true.

How about the fact that there were protest calling for her to resign because of racist comments? That kind of confirms her point of view.

I agree that what she said was stupid for a Mayor to say, but I think it falls pretty far from racist. But, the mob thought so, so it must be.

She declared literally “yes I’m a racist” after she made the remark...

Her? She?

I don't think so...

I wish the dickhead mayor of Ann Arbor, Christopher Taylor, would say something that would force him to resign too.

Would it really be possible to please you in such a liberal place?

[Matt]

Yes, Jack Eaton, one of my council members would have been a H*** improvement. Also, Ann Arbor is not really that liberal. It votes hugely Democrat, but partisan politics are irrelevant at the local level.

Half your “Democrats” are actually Republicans.

Jack Eaton used to be a bus driver.

Again, local politics don't require partisan labels.

I’ve always liked Jack Eaton but his side of the coin doesn’t seem to win the big chair there ever. There are two Fairly distinct factions it seems.

If the election was in November instead of August, he'd win.
