I think the fact that Ms Burns, JWC, Canadice, and even Ladell are on the council currently. The black community is open to accepting the black woman in a leadership role. Flint council in the past, had Ms.Galloway and Ms. Poplar ladies that Mays always reference. So if you don't mind, provide a little clarity on your statement. I look forward to your comments 🙏.

[@TheFoodieCutie]

I don’t even live there but I always pay attention to Mays. AK Cole has a channel that’s pretty much dedicated to him and his meetings. I feel 65 is just too young these days especially for an active person in the community. They said he was suspended for 90 days (a whole season) because of some conduct issues in city council and he was upset about it (I would be too.) I hope more information comes out because this man deserves it.

[@Ms.L2803]

YES, a despicable scheme plotted by LIEdel Lewis, Queency Murphy, crudy Judy, Candace Muskrat and EVIL WORTHLESS. There quite possibly could've been more plotters, but these are the ones who sit on the Council and always voted against him. If you have a chance watch that video of the meeting in which they voted to suspend Mr. Mays for 90 days. Angry because he spoke out and voted against THEIR corrupt schemes. Watch the video until the very end, then watch how LIEdel Lewis, crudy Judy, Attny Kim and Candace Muskrat congratulated themselves for unfairly suspending Eric Mays. You must see THEM celebrating their dirty, disorderly, ploy during that unlawful meeting. Appalling! It ain't over yet! Let's just wait and pay our respects to Mr. Mays and his family for now. 🕊️💔🕊️💐🕊️

You may not be black, but your way of thinking says you were raised in their broken society Mays accused everyone around him that he didn't like of being corrupt and never produced any evidence to back it up Everything against him was documented Because of the group you identify with, I'm sure Mays just saying whatever he wanted and never proving any of it, was good enough for you just because he was popular for being the king clown on a council And by the way, just saying you're not black in a comment section means nothing without proof
