Reply to comment by Columbia4Life in Former Columbia Association President Lakey Boyd EXPOSED for Questionable, Seemingly Corrupt Decisions in Office by jakeburdett
Sherman May mean well, and he’s certainly been around for a long time, but he has consistently supported politicians that have been very detrimental to the black community, and does not seem to care when this is pointed out to him.
The rest of your statement is baseless

Representation means Sherman does not need your counsel or permission to make his own political decisions.
The fact that you believe you know better than he does what is good for the Black community proves that the rest of my statement is not baseless.

Lol. You think corporate-funded and police union-endorsed candidates will look out for the black community? Go study some history
Columbia4Life t1_je5n7yg wrote
The point is that the Black community does not want or need you, a white man, telling them what's good for them and what isn't. Especially in the contemptuous manner in which you do so.

But hey, since you're here speaking for Columbia residents when you don't live here, I guess that tracks!
jakeburdett OP t1_je75cwz wrote
Lol that you made this fake account for this. This is not about me telling the black community what to do, this is a criticism of Sherman Howell’s long record of supporting systematically racist policies and the politicians who perpetuate it

Keep proving to everyone on this thread what a self-important asshole you are.

Mean well? Sherman Howell helped organize the March on Washington. What have you done other than yell on the internet?
jakeburdett OP t1_je5xgxo wrote
Good for Sherman. Does that erase decades of harmful, counterproductive work in the community afterwards? I think people are complex, and you can give credit where it’s due, but also scrutiny when it’s due

This is what he has done in the years since. Harmful and counterproductive enough that the NAACP gave him an award for it.

HoCo/MD NAACP is run by a well-known predator. They’ve sadly become co-opted for corporate interests, as well, and are actually quite conservative. I do have respect for NAACP nationally, though, and was a big supporter of Ben Jealous’s 2018 campaign
Columbia4Life t1_je78bgb wrote
Oh really? Who is the predator? And of course, what proof do you have of that fact?

You can look it up. Good to know you do not believe women

Cool, and while I’m at it, I’ll be sure to look up the skeletons in YOUR closet. I seem to remember you saying something about scrutiny being due.
jakeburdett OP t1_je7992p wrote
Sounds like you’ve been doing that for awhile, and good to know you’re more concerned about a local blog writer and grassroots activist than you are about people in serious positions of authority in the state and county.
Columbia4Life t1_je7aj7s wrote
You don’t know shit about what I’m concerned about, beyond the fact that nobody should give credence to anything you write or say - and thanks for showing us all why.
jakeburdett OP t1_je7apfn wrote
No, your priorities are very clear. You made a Reddit account Just for this! It’s clear your allegiances are with the corrupt corporate forces being exposed
Columbia4Life t1_je7b0km wrote
The only thing that got exposed today is your ass.
