Wilmington City Council members lob racism accusations at each other

A white Wilmington city councilman on Monday accused his black colleague of racism in an email, in yet another display of tensions and division in the city's legislative body.

Ciro Adams, the sole Republican city council member, called Sam Guy a "racial bigot" who refuses to work with white colleagues.

The exchange comes just after council appeared to have ended several weeks of fighting over how to fill the hotly contested 1st District seat.

With crazy slush funds that are almost a COMPLETE waste of taxpayer money, while the city is generally filthy and crumbling. Instead of funding themselves and their friends' nonsensical little projects, they should hire a few people to clean up the craphole.
