Personally, I think it's because they didn't tell him to kiss thier black azz.

Again, I applaud him for getting drug dealers off the streets.
But if you are going to refer to him as trash,
then you need to see the bigger trash.
Or does he only see the black poor ones?

Poor drug dealers don't pass unfair laws.
Poor drug dealers don't send thousands of people to die.
Poor drug dealers don't make millions of dollars importing drugs
and then point the finger at drug dealers.
Poor drug dealers don't falsely accuse and then imprison blacks.
But why are they the only ones who get to be called "trash"?

The councilmen felt BOLD enough to call him that and sent him a letter, because poor people have few to zero rights in this country.

There is absolutely nothing funny or dignified about that letter.
Still, as someone pointed out earlier, this double standard will never be resolved in GreekChat.com. So on that note...
I understand what you're saying - but that letter wasn't sent to him because he was poor. It was sent to him because he was a drug dealer. And somebody may be poor, but they don't have to go out dealing drugs because of it. Yes, I think we can all agree there are other people that the Councilman could have attacked as well. That doesn't necessarily invalidate THIS letter. It may not have been the right way to say it, but what he said
was still right.
