Message to the Governor
Mr. Govenor,
I have moved to Columbus within the last two weeks. I lost my job after the tornado destroyed many businesses in Daleville, Alabama. I was relieved to join my husband who had been commuting from here every weekend. I must tell you that I can not validate the cost of living to this city. My children are in schools that seem to be over crowded and very dated. My children are definately the minority, as well as my family. We pay dearly to live in a safe respectable neighborhood. I have applied for many positions of employment for which I feel I am being discriminated against for being of caucasion descent. I am insulted that people in management positions cannot conduct an intelligent interview, and yet they have the authority of that position. I have never been prejudice, towards black people and I have taught my children to accept everyone no matter their race, but I have develop a considerable amount of frustration with alot of the blacks in this area. The level!
of ignorance and discrimination here is overwhelming. If I ever hear another black person "cry" discrimination I think I will tell them to move to Mississippi. You should definately change your state motto to "The state where Black Americans get all the opportunities."
Unfortunately, I am forced to live out the remainder of my husband's contract here. I really just wanted to express my feelings about the "living conditions" here in Columbus. Also, I would like to stress that the condition of the schools and health department are just simply unacceptable and I believe some funding should be put forth to update these buildings to make Columbus a little more desirable.
Sincerely,
Michelle L. Corey
