@@godjhaka7376 I`ll put my @sshole up against anybodies my friend. And it`s been proven to be right 90% of the time. Mays is no dummy, but he has mental problems. That`s a nice way of saying he is crazy as bat shyt. He hate strong women, that`s why he sleeps along every night. He is a racist that can only be topped by Malcom X. He is a egotistical thin skinned juvenile delinquent drunk. Other than that I am sure he`s a nice guy.

[@MusicandDancing4Ever]

People blowing this out of proportion. He held up the nazi salute because he felt Galloway was dictating. He wasn’t insulting to Jews. I’ve called people a hitler and held up my hand cause they were acting like a hitler, a dictator. So it was to insult the person not the Jews. Mays ain’t perfect, he does wrong, but not here. People trying to get him on anything, but did nothing to Kate Fields who stuck her middle finger up and said f you in a professional public meeting being filmed. No one told her to apology. I can’t cuss out my coworkers no matter what, I’d get fired. Where’s the outrage over Fields? If Mays did it to her all the women would be outraged saying he’s sexist, how dare you say that to a woman. Punish everyone equally. Whether you like Mays or not, don’t forget the wrongs of others on that council, make them accountable too.

[@DIEGhostfish]

You know people live to cherry pick. They are just trying to absolve their guilt. Black people has never done anything to people of that faith. But nobody brings up how much assistance Nazi officer's, got from the Japanese, Italians, Argentinians, even Mexico helped nazi Germany. But are never called to task for it. You know why? Because it hast to be us because we are the biggest threat. BARS!!

[@nubmaat-reiii4564]

You 100% homie. Human accountability is why we are here. You can thank religion for that.

[@aaronrodden8121]

Are you an ELECTED official though? He was not elected JUST to represent Blacks! See, that's what others and Mays often like to forget! "Jews" are a part of Flint as well! If I felt I was being disrespected by a Black person and held up the Apartheid Africa flag knowing full well I represent Africans would it not offend my constituents? Mr. Mays likes to THINK he thinks about things before hand but he never did! He's just loud and talks circles into you THINKING he thought about it but in reality he never could control himself and the hatred for anything that was not black! Flint is not in the shape it's in by the White mans hand, it's predominately in most areas now black or Hispanic! That's not a racist statement, that is the truth! White Man has had a few hands in the pot I'm sure but you can never fix anything if you gloss over the problem and refuse to address the imbalance to reach an actual solution! GOD Bless!
