Who's afraid of a "black caucus" ... ? (Update)
An anonymous Creeder Reader sent me the following message -- twice:
"Get your facts straight. Vivian Wilhoite and the other [black] Council Members have already formed the Black Caucus and it is a strong group. They were successful in making sure we had our first building in Nashville named after a black person and they have done alot [sic] of good in making sure issues important to the black community have been heard in the council. So get your facts straight. No one is spreading rumors. This is already a fact and so what."
I don't think I took a position on whether or not an official black caucus exists in the Metro Council. What I said is this: Persons connected to the campaigns of Paul Collins and Councilman Robert Duvall have been been quite chatty about Councilwoman Vivian Wilhoite's supposed desire to start a black caucus in the Metro Council. So, yes, rumors are being spread. I've heard 'em with my own ears.
You'd think that folks who're working for a sitting councilman would know about the various caucuses - or is it cauci? - in the Metro Council, n'est-ce pas? Take your so-whatting up with them.
