Wes Bellamy's tweets contrast with other published messages of unity, empowerment

Charlottesville Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy published several tweets between 2009 and 2014 using gay slurs, comments against white people, lewd slang for female genitalia and other profanities. Many of the old tweets show a stark contrast between his more recent posts lauding women’s and LGBTQ rights. Bellamy made his Twitter account private this Saturday. The tweets surfaced on social media after local blogger Jason Kessler posted criticism of the tweets on Nov. 24. The post led some members of the community to call on Bellamy to leave office.

In an October 2011 tweet, Bellamy answered a question prompted by another user, “Does it make males uncomfortable wen girls are so upfront about sex??” with “It only makes faggots uncomfortable …”

The anti-gay slur also appears in tweets about the number of times someone has sex and having a clean house...

The guy who’s funeral he was yucking it up at while flirting with some white German in the presence of his wife? Talk about a lack of respect. talk about unpresidential.

There are five City Council members.

Bellamy has only been on the council since 2015.

Kristen Szakos, another council member, has been pushing this issue for much longer. But a few years back, the composition of the council was different, and the issue didn’t move forward.

Szakos’ husband is a big player in Va Dem politics, and runs a “community organizing” organization.

Surprise, surprise! This guy is a democrat.

So, i guess its okay then?

Hadn’t heard of him before yesterday. Don’t think I missed much.

[lee martell]

Wow. What an ignoramus.
I get it that he grew up around such beliefs, and much of the humor is what some men may say in private, but the racial hatred quotes are worrisome and very telling. That is who he really is.
You have to wonder if he recently hired somebody to write or edit his current tweets for him. This is somebody who’s first and current language is pure Ebonics.
