When Byron Brown campaigns in South Buffalo, does his pit bull, Demone Smith insult the people there by asking them why they are supporting a black man? I don't think so! If white people are expected to support Brown, then why do Demone Smith and others feel that Mickey Kearns has no right to be on the east side of Buffalo? I am sick of hypocrites, black, white or anybody else. Mickey handled himself very well, even is spite of all the jeering, booing and bad manners from Brown supporters; most of them, by the way, were city hall employees.Kearns has more black supporters than Brown thinks.
