White members of the press were barred from entering the Bolton Street Baptist Church for a community event highlighting black mayoral candidates in Savannah, Georgia.
The sign on the church door was anything but subtle: No media (T.V. Radio, etc.) Black Press Only! All white reporters were prevented from entering the premises, while black reporters from two television stations, as well as the publisher of the Savannah Tribune newspaper, were permitted.
The Trigon consultant group was in charge of promoting the event, described as being about supporting ONE candidate from the African American Community for Mayor 2019! Both potential candidates in attendance are running in an attempt to beat incumbent Mayor Eddie Deloach the first white mayor of Savannah in 20 years when he was elected.
Stephen Moody, a reporter with WJCL who attended the event, said that no recording of any kind was allowed. Savannah Alderman Van Johnson spoke at the meeting but did not address the access restrictions. Its not my meeting, Johnson said. I was asked to come and give a statement, so I came and I gave a statement. What I said in there, Ill say out here.

Strip their tax exemption.
Just imagine: “How can we squeeze more money from these white devils? They’ll just shut up and pay...”
We live in Hilton Head, SC, twenty five minutes from Savannah. I was real curious to see how the local Savannah news would carry this, if at all. In fact, they actually reported on this by showing the crude magic marker hand made signs, no recording videos, etc and black reporters only. I was surprised.
What an insult....to the black reporters.
Suppose these reporters were millenials, imagine their utter confusion. Perhaps we'll have some fresh converts soon.
Somebody want enforced segregation. Where are those civil rights championing Democrats who are constantly triggered by the slightest inequality or exclusionary measure? Oh, these are Democrats.
I love it.....these leftist bastards are now reaping what they sowed!!!
Once again ‘the media’ creating hatred and division......
