Remember the bumper stickers that read "I'm Mad, Too, Eddie"?
Yesterday I was glancing over Facebook posts and came across these two.
I have seldom seen such a racist remark by a local minister. And for a City of Columbia councilwoman (and lawyer and beneficiary of perhaps $40,000 of Richland 2 sub-contracted legal fees) to repeat it just compounds the insult.
On June 30 at 10:50PM (after the Richland 2 school board meeting) local attorney and City of Columbia councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine posted a message on Facebook. It read, “Congratulations James Shadd. Please read Pastor Chris’ post below.”

The post
“below” (also on June 30) was from Chris Leevy Johnson who claimed to be with James Shadd on June
30 at 6:37PM. Johnson wrote:
“Congratulations
to my classmate since kindergarten at Greenview Elementary James Shadd for
being elected Chairman of the Richland County School District Two School Board
tonight! He ran unopposed but the vote was unfortunately 6-1! Please watch the
video and let us remember KAREN [sic] did not vote for our brother (or to extend the
contract of the Superintendent which was another 6-1 vote) this coming
November.”
Johnson is a pastor at Richland Northeast Baptist Church and works at Leevy Funeral Home in Columbia.
That exchange demands a public apology from James Shadd to his fellow school board trustee.

It also demands public apologies from Tameika Isaac Devine and Chris Leevy Johnson.
