Ward 5 Family:
I was out walking the neighborhood and a couple of my neighbors called me to their yards. They began to tell me that Kenyan McDuffie had a meeting in Edgewood off 1st/Channing Northeast a few days ago. About 8 African-American adults stood on the corner and discussed the meeting because they were not notified at all. Shortly after, Kenyon pulled up and went into the home. He came back out and they called his name to speak with him. He did not go and engage the folks on the corner at all(all home owners/registered voters). He stood outside his car for a few moments talking, waved and got back in his car and left.
I began to tell my neighbors that while that was happening I was actually on speaker phone and heard the situation. The person's house he was at just happen to be white and all the people that came and took his signs were all white I was told.
The folks on the corner took his actions as he did not want to talk to Black People, but only the other people. This is not good. The people are still very upset about the incident. With the issues we are facing we must have a Councilmember who can cross cultural boundaries and feels comfortable engaging all people.
Then, I was reading our Republican friend's assessment of Kenyon, which is pretty accurate.
When I was in the race Kenyon had a very nasty attitude, would not speak or shake my hand at all. He would not sign my petition after I signed his, then he signed my petition twice. He just left a highly negative impression on me during my time in the race.
One of my top concerns I was expressing to a friend and one his advisors, is that he comes with a criminal prosecutor's mentality at a time when almost every government entity is failing our children, especially African-American males. We Do Not need a councilmember who supports placing people in jail with very little prosocial programs that are educational/preventive in nature 1st.
No candidate is perfect as we all know, but I still believe Delano Hunter is the best candidate to become our next Councilmember in this Special Election.
