Nicholas Stix, Uncensored: Cincinnati: Recipe for a Riot
Nicholas Stix, Uncensored: Cincinnati: Recipe for a Riot: "Cincinnati’s riot was in many ways generic. The “Queen City,” as Cincinnati is known, has its own generic (but considerably younger), Maxine Waters-style, racist politician, Councilwoman Alicia Reece. As reported by Jane Prendergast and Robert Anglen in the April 10 Cincinnati Enquirer, Councilwoman Reece demanded, to the cheers of a black mob that had taken over City Hall, and refused to let any white leaders speak, that “Every member of the council, from the mayor on down, needs to be here today. Leadership needs to deal with the diversity that exists in the city.”"

White flight drives mayoral results Charlotte News Citizen Servatius: "In a column called 'Charlotte's last white mayor,' Glenn H. Burkins, editor of the local news Web site Qcitymetro.com, pointed out the obvious last week. 'Outgoing Mayor Pat McCrory may well be Charlotte's last 'white' leader,' Burkins wrote, after studying election results. That hits some people funny. When I made the same argument last week, I was called a racist by some callers to my radio show. Burkins, who explained that this was the new reality because Charlotte is 'darker,' probably won't be called a racist because he is black, even though we were saying the same thing."

DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF KING?: A REVIEW ESSAY, THE - page 3 Encounter: "Young argues, it had to do with a fear of sexuality:
Deeply buried but intense sexual fear of black males, illustrated by the sexual nature of attacks on black men by whites who seek to control or destroy black aggressiveness, has been a persistent pattern in the South since the advent of slavery. From the systematic destruction of the black family during slavery to contemporary barriers for black males attempting to protect and provide for their families via the imposition of strong societal and economic proscriptions, there is a recurrent theme: controlling black men. The theme was ever-present at lynchings of black men for allegations of rape or for flirtation with white women, and is always evident somewhere in the heavy punishment awaiting black men who assert or advocate the interests of their people. The FBI campaign was very much consistent with this neurotic white Southern racist tradition"
