Saying that a majority-black school system has to have a black chancellor or that a majority of the department heads should be black because this is (barely) a majority black city is offensive. It's like saying that, because we are a majority Caucasian country, that the Secretary of State and, my gosh, the President, have to be white. That's beyond the pale of acceptable political discourse. I was going to vote for Gray until I read the racist rants of Colby King and Countland Milloy, and went back to Fenty.
