A 26-year-old progressive candidate and hip-hop artist — who won a local Georgia election by just 13 votes last month — took her oath office Tuesday not upon a Bible but upon a copy of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X.”
Mariah Parker — her right fist raised — placed her left hand on the book about the controversial Nation of Islam leader who was gunned down in 1965. Parker’s mother held the worn paperback as Parker took the oath of office for the Athens-Clarke County Commission. She then took her seat among the other commissioners.
Parker edged out her opponent by a 638 to 625 tally on May 22, OnlineAthens reported.
The University of Georgia doctoral candidate in linguistics is also known by her hip-hop stage name, Lingua Franca.

“My platform centers around economic and racial justice,” Parker told the Red & Black. “The policies of this town have been structured, deliberately, to ensure that a certain class of people will continue to thrive and a certain class of people will continue to not.”
Parker told the Flagpole that the local black community suffers from lack of resources.
“The racists have all the money, still, so it’s economically advantageous to cater to them,” she added to the Flagpole, which noted Parker’s top priority as a commissioner is earmarking 30 percent of Athens’ contracts for black- and Latino-owned companies.
Parker’s swearing-in and seating on the county commission was captured on video. The relevant portion begins just after the 1-minute mark:
Just sort of funny, how about giving contracts to the best companies no matter who owns them?
What are the parameters you wish to go by to decide which is the "best" company?
The best quality at the best price done the quickest amount of time.
I have no problem with this.Boston fans have always been losers, way back to the Larry Bird days,
Horrible Boston Red Sox Fans Do The Most Uncool Thing Ever
They paid for the tickets and its not against the rules.
You are starting to worry me, first the Obama thing and now this, I thought I knew you.
These people will get what they deserve.
