Rejects call for 'healing' until the apologies are received

 

James Barnett call for Black on Black apoligy over Mackey as PDF (three pages).pdf

 Those who are asked to apologize in this open letter are (transcribed with my own annotations next to each name):

  • Wilhelmenia Rembert (former CMS School Board Chair and former Vice Chair of the County Commission)

  • 'Tone X' (Black radio personality)

  • Rev. Dwayne Walker (Senior Minister of the Little Rock AME Zion Church in Charlotte who held the Mackey Rally)

  • Rev. George Cook

  • Rev. Al Sharpton (National Black leader who came to Charlotte to say the 'process' should be followed and then when it was followed disagreed with the outcome).

  • Staff and Management of 100.9 and/or WGIV (WGIV is a AM radio station that broadcast the shows of Dr. Rembert, Craig Madens and others who supposedly advocated for Mackey to be Sheriff).

  • Pastors that stood by and said nothing

  • Elected officials that stood by and said nothing

  • Community leaders that stood by and said nothing
