Atlanta Mayor Fundraising In SC

Because South Carolina literally can’t stop giving to Georgia, Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed is headed to the Palmetto State’s corrupt capital city later this week to raise some money for his reelection bid.

Black mayors gotta stick together, yo.

Reed took office in 2010 – the same year as Columbia, S.C. mayor Steve Benjamin. Of course he didn’t start his reign with as big of a “bang” as Benjamin.

According to our sources, Reed will be in Columbia on Thursday attending a fundraiser hosted by, among others, Benjamin himself. No word yet on whether S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley – who has gotten big bucks from Georgia donors – will also be in attendance.

We’ll have more details as they become available …

UPDATE: Here’s the invite for Reed’s event.

White attendees will be expected to wait 4 hours in line for admittance to the fundraisers with a small donation required.

Blacks will have a separate line with an estimated wait time of 5 minutes and will receive a door prize.

I thought you said they were donations?

The flyer says “suggested contribution”.

I wonder if they will suggest you not attend if you don’t show up with $250.

I wondered the same thing. At a minimum pop of $250, you’d think the guy could afford to wax his damn eyebrows.

It worked for Al Jolson.

It’s a freaky resemblance:

Time for some ‘Lanta love,from one of the best bootlegs, ever.Bill Graham said they were the best band he’d ever heard,which is why they played the last show at The Fillmore East(‘children stop yer nursing,unless you’re rendering fun’).

Racism is alive and well,as this blog consistently proves.

Atlanta is well on it’s way to becoming the Detroit of the south, so it’s only natural that he has to leave his own ghetto to poor mouth.

Sidenote, they sure went all out on the design of this invite, do they have blind middle schooler’s interning in the marketing department?
