Jackson Co. Manager Fired Amid Charges Of Racism

This is an interesting story:

Amid charges that it was a racist move, Jackson County Commissioners have fired their county manager of nearly two years.

Commissioners voted 3-1 Monday night to fire Crandall Jones after nearly 70 minutes in a closed-door session. Commmissioners gave no reason for their decision -- sparking allegations of racism from nearly a dozen people in the crowd. Jones is black.

The truth of this one is unclear, and it really could go in any direction at the current time, but my guess is that this decision was NOT racist.
