Man fired for saying a large public mural does not represent his town
There has been a storm of abuse from Leftists over this (e.g. here) But what it boils down to is a local politician complaining that a huge mural of a black guy in the center of his town does not represent his town -- which is predominantly white.
He is undoubtedly correct but you are only allowed to take notice of race if you are discriminating in favor of a person of another race, of course -- so-called "affirmative action".
"An Arizona councilman was fired from a talk back radio show after asking a school principal to paint faces white on a local school mural. Steve Blair was fired from the talk radio show he hosted due to the controversy over the mural painted on a local public school
The artists said the mural they painted was supposed to show the diversity of the kids at Miller Valley School, but following comments by Blair, the school principal asked them to paint the kids' faces a lighter color
The mural was painted last month on the wall of the school, at the corner of the busiest intersection in Prescott.
The controversy was sparked by a comment Blair made on his radio show two weeks ago. "To depict the biggest picture on that building as a black person - I would have to ask the question ‘why?’" he said on The Steve Blair Show on KYCA.

"Racist asshole."
---Do you see pictures of white people in mostly black neighborhoods?
You want to see real racism, watch the movie "Do the right thing" by Spike Lee. In that film the good guy is the white pizzeria owner who instead of moving out of that black neighborhood, decides to stay. And how do they reward him? By burning his store to the ground. Why? Because he only had pictures of white celebrities in his restaurant.
I like that film, I don't always agree with Spike Lee, but that film should be seen by all white businessmen who plan to open stores in the black community.

"The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in time, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise."
– Teddy Roosevelt

I am not trying to win any arguments. I just like to insult you, you conservatard. You amuse me, like a clown.
