Something’s Never Change: Former Alabama Mayor Calls Opponent N-Word

The small but very Southern town of Midland, Alabama is the not-so-surprising scene of a racial slur made by a white woman about a black woman.

The interesting thing about this instance is that both women are running for mayor of Midland.

Current Mayor and white woman Patsy Capshaw Skipper wrote on her Facebook page “I lost. The n—– won” when asked by a friend how the re-election campaign went.

Skipper lost her mayoral seat to JoAnn Bennett Grimsley, the first African American mayor in a town of only 2,300 residents.

Because of the ungraciousness of Skipper, and the fact that she got caught saying racially charged things just because she lost the re-election race, the former mayor of Midland denied having called Grimsely the n-word.

Skipper told local media: “My Facebook has been messed up for several weeks and I haven’t been using it. I think I’ve been hacked.”

Many Midlanders are not buying Skipper’s hacker excuse. George Williams, Midland city councilman said : “It’s ridiculous now, ridiculous, and this is who is representing me? Come on. Get real. She should have resigned yesterday. I really don’t understand her thought process and saying something like that in 2016.”

Other residents have chimed in as well.

Former city council candidate Gerald Williams said: “It’s appalling to not just me, but from what I’m understanding and what I’m seeing, it’s appalling to the rest of Midland City, and with Midland City being the diverse city that it is, there’s no place for that.”

Lamar Spence added: “Joann is a good woman. She can run this town, and I lost, but I still won, because I did two or three things that I wanted to get done, so I reached my goal.”

Wayne Hair, friend of Skipper and fellow church-goer expressed shock that his “friend” would say something so racist. Hair commented: “I still consider Patsy a friend, you know, whether she said it or whether she didn’t. I don’t think she did, but I still think she’s a good person. I just find it hard to believe that she actually said that, and she said she didn’t, so you know, I have to take her word for it until I know different.”
