This is The Improvement Association Chapter 3 the Ballot of the Nursing Home Ballots I've been talking to Horace for two years or more, and like any relationship that goes through its warmer periods and its colder ones, Horace is moody.
Sometimes he's expansive, beginning his answers with here's what you have to understand about Bladen County.
Sometimes he seems resentful and answers me short.
Where's the evidence?
In this one conversation, I was telling Horace that a lot of people, Republicans, whenever I'd bring up the cheating accusations against McCray Doulas, their rebuttal was usually whatever McCray might have done, the Blade and PAC had been doing it way longer and worse.
Okay, now if that's their defense, where is the evidence?
Because, oh, the evidence is we're black and they're white.
If you're white, you're right.
That's bullshit.
Where is the evidence?
This conversation Horace was particularly testy with me because I was asking about a particularly persistent allegation, different from the other stuff I'd heard.
