Muhammad absent from seven town meetings Plans to attend Monday’s session – Source: The Daily Southerner

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on December 10, 2011

TARBORO — Constituents of Town of Tarboro Ward 6 have been without representation in half of the town’s meetings since November 2010. Out of 14 meetings, Ward 6 Councilman Melvin Muhammad was absent seven times including five of the last seven meetings. (More)

Response: I have been hearing that Muhammad had missed some meetings didn’t know how many. Is there anything in the policies about how many meetings a council person can miss? I do not attend the meetings because it is on the same night of the Edgecombe County Public Schools board meeting. C. Dancy II – The Political Agitator

Ignant Column – “Black Family Day” Tarboro NC Has Been Moved To Indian Lake

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on September 1, 2011

I see the Ignant Racist White Folks on Tarboro 27886 Facebook page are at it again. I see the owner and the administrators allow the Ignant Racist White Folks to continue to post their comments there even after they have asked them to stop beating a dead horse.

I Know I Am Damn Good When I Can Take On A Group Of Racist White Folks Who Are Protesting The Black Family Day In Tarboro NC because I was kicked off the Tarboro 27886 Facebook page and I was only trying to make the Ignant Racist White Folks understand the fight was not with the co-sponsors but with the Town of Tarboro. I said the fight should be if the town followed their own policies and procedures. Obviously they followed them because at the August 8 regular monthly meeting the town voted to allow the “Black Family Day” to be held on The Town Commons.

First of all I don’t give a damn if there is a “Black Family Day” held in Tarboro Edgecombe County where racism is alive and well. I also don’t give a damn if there is a “White Family Day,” or other “Family Day” held in Tarboro but if it was, it would be my decision to choose whether I want to attend.

The Tarboro Town Commons has had things held there such as the Confederate Soldiers Re-enactment and other things that I am quite sure that the majority of black folks didn’t give a damn about the events but their tax dollars were used. However I bet some blacks probably attended each of those events. I didn’t attend because I was not interested. But these Ignant Racist White Folks continue to talk about their tax dollars paying for the “Black Family Day” as if black folks do not pay taxes.

I found it right interesting there were little to no comments about “Black Family Day” on the Tarboro 27886 Facebook page since Hurricane Irene hit The Commons. But I figured the discussion was going on behind the scenes and I see it was after visiting the Tarboro 27886 Facebook page today. I visited it to see what they were saying since “Black Family Day” has been moved to Indian Lake. There was a special meeting held today at the Town Hall in regards to the event. I understand that atleast one councilman wanted the event postponed.

Although Joyce Jefferson a Tarboro 27886 Facebook page member has made several other comments not in favor of the “Black Family Day” she hit the nail on the head with the following statement. But like I have said before, The co-sponsors of the “Black Family Day” had the right to ask to have the event on The Common since the policies and procedures allowed it.

Joyce Jefferson I don’t think the Town Common should be used by any of us. We have two other areas that are more suitable for human use. Each area has picnic tables and restrooms facilities. I’m talking about Indian Lake and Braswell Center.

However Joyce Jefferson only mentioned the the 2 places above that are on the white side of town and didn’t mention the Ray Center/Clark Park that is on the black side of town. Do the Ray Center/Clark Park get the same attention as the Braswell Center? Go figure?

Until the policies and procedures are changed then the Town of Tarboro will have to honor just about any reasonable request from citizens and organizations to have events. But since the Ignant Racist White Folks are continuing to speak I bet there will be a change.

Town of Tarboro not making good economic decisions – Source: The Daily Southerner

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on July 2, 2011

PRINCEVILLE — I and my family were deeply saddened and discouraged to hear that Tarboro will not have fireworks this year. Those in power need to wake up! Do the math, ladies and gentlemen! At least 1,000 people (and that is a low estimate) spend probably $15 on July Fourth for food, drinks, sparklers and other festive necessities at local businesses such as Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Andy’s, McDonald’s and Burger King.

Congress takes a stand and honors Tarboro – Source: Rocky Mount Telegram

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on November 29, 2010

Just to show we’re not afraid of controversy, the Telegram today would like to congratulate the town of Tarboro for marking its 250th anniversary.

That might not sound like a stretch, but believe it or not, a simple bill acknowledging the milestone raised some eyebrows in Congress this month.

The U.S. House has nothing against the town itself, so far as we know, but Republicans poised to take a majority of seats in January have called into question Congress’ age-old practice of honoring, recognizing, congratulating and applauding various towns, civic clubs, tasty vegetables and other nominees of distinction.
