Quote:The Republican mayor of Midland City, Alabama got nasty on Facebook after losing her seat to a black candidate in this week’s mayoral election.


“I lost. The ni**er won,” griped Mayor Patsy Capshaw Skipper when someone asked her how the election turned out.
WTVY said that Skipper was defeated by Jo Ann Bennett Grimsley, former assistant city clerk and an employee of the Dale County government for 27 years. She has previously served as the city’s water clerk and county court clerk.

Mayor Skipper was named interim mayor last February when her husband — former Mayor Virgil Skipper — retired for health reasons. County officials voted 3 to 1 for Patsy Skipper to take over her husband’s position.

Voters, however, preferred to see Grimsley at the city helm, casting 233 votes for Grimsley as opposed to Skipper’s 148.

Skipper appears to have made her Facebook timeline private, but posts from 2015 are visible. She posted various pro-Christian and pro-Republican memes, including an image of the White House that reads “I want a White House that honors God. Share if you agree!” and another with a quote by Republican former Pres. Ronald Reagan that reads, “We are never defeated unless we give up on God. Share if you agree!”

She conceded the election. What's the problem?

If that is how she truly feels, she deserves to be left to stew in her own anger and hatred.

Just like a petulant child, rewarding bad behavior with attention will only help to perpetuate it.

In general I agree that bad behavior can be attention seeking behavior.  But sometimes it's best to shine a light on these kind of people and watch the cockroaches run.

That was a dumb comment from her, but racism comes from all sides and no matter what people say, everyone is a little racist.

I think she's sort of surpassed the definition of "little" and entered the realm of "lotta".

Well yes, there is that.

And another reason to never post anything you don't want the world to see anywhere online. I just don't understand how people have to learn this lesson the hard way. We're not dealing with 5 year olds, these people are 30+.
