Misty, I went to that web page to try and find who "the team" but it was not stated. If you know I would certainly make them aware of that comment. I am afraid that some media person will jump all over the discriminatory preference of that comment to see if it correlates in anyway to the actual demographics. They have made such a stink over the Confederate Flag that it will not take much to put the "racism" spotlight on the South Walton community itself. None of us want that to happen!

If they weren't aware of it before, they are now. It's been there since June.

I see no trashy people comment on A Better South Walton Facebook page. There are very few posts or comments in general. Perhaps it was removed as it should be. And I'm betting it was a sarcastic comment made by someone who thinks they know the hearts and lives and minds of those who live and work here.

Some of the comments about African Americans in South Walton I've seen here today are truly and unbelievably ridiculous. That is the nicest way I know how to put it. Spoken by someone who does not know our families, kids, people, schools, workplaces, or anything else about this unique town filled with leaders, unique minds and open hearts,. Not to mention people from all over making this the best place to raise a family, many of which are interracial, gay, minorities, single moms, construction workers, hospitality workers, traveling business people, restaurant owners,.... and all of which are awesome from every economic level. We're a young town and growing. The residents living here are making a difference and working hard to build a great community. It has always been wide open with many opportunities for those willing to work and build their dreams. We are not the vacationers with big bucks. We are real people living and working and committed to this place.

Some of the comments about African Americans in South Walton I've seen here today are truly and grossly STUPID. There is no other word.

mputnal...let's be clear, I did not say that the A Better South Walton facebook page made the statement. I said it was a comment left by someone on the page. I didn't name that someone. The fact that it remained there long after it was posted is disturbing but it speaks volumes to the agendas at work.

Let's be clear, Misty. Your original post said that it was a statement from the South Walton Community Council. You edited that down to a poster posted something on the Better South Walton facebook page. There's a significant difference. Any flocking nutjob can put a post on anything they want, on just about any website they want. You cant change stupid.

I see the trashy comment... Meant as sarcastic and not in support of incorporation as I suspected.

That's your perception! It wasn't mine when I read it and it does not follow any other comments except someone agreeing with him.

No it did not say that!! Yes it did say the comment was on the SWCC facebook page!! I had 4 browsers open trying to find the correct page and I WRONGLY typed SWCC fb page.

The original comment was Then perhaps you can explain this comment left on the SWCC Facebook page....and yes it is a quote!!

COMMENT LEFT ON THE PAGE
NOT MADE BY THE SWCC!! THE ONLY PART THAT WAS EDITED WAS SWCC AND IF YOU LOOK AT MPUTNAL POST YOU WILL SEE THAT. HE QUOTED THE EXACT MSG BEFORE IT WAS EVER EDITED.

It appears that mputnal3 was the one insinuating that it was a statement from SWCC, without even reading it. When in fact it was a post on a completely different site. There's substantial amount of misinformation going on.
