Controversial Political Ad Targets White Candidates

The 4 page pamphlet is called the Underground Press and calls for the community to vote against mainly white candidates running for office.

The candidates the political ad target say it’s racist. “Most of the candidates are white and on the inside it says vote for these candidates and they are all black,” says Macon Mayor Robert Reichert.

The chair of the Bibb Democratic party agrees, “It’s racist. It’s basically saying that you should elect people of color over white people,” says Daryl Morton.

The ad says to ” Not be tricked again” and places big red marks over the faces of mainly white candidates.
