It’s not the fact that Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow developed, copyrighted and is distributing a purely racist t-shirt that bothers me so much… we have come to expect racist behavior from him. The most disturbing thing to me is the quote in this morning’s N&R article from outgoing Commission Chair Bob Landreth: “I think this will certainly serve Billy Yow in his district.”
Even though District 5 is mainly rural, white and Republican I fervently hope for an outcry from them. As a registered white Republican I will join any and all efforts to have Yow removed from office.
If the Guilford County Republican Party fails to call for Yow’s censure and resignation, I will change my affiliation. What a jerk.
