Progressive wins local election by 13 votes, takes oath upon ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X’

Mariah Parker, a 26-year-old progressive candidate and hip-hop artist, won a local Georgia election by just 13 votes last month. She took her oath office Tuesday upon a copy of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X." (Image source: YouTube screenshot)
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.

They paid for the tickets and its not against the rules.
I have personally witnessed Boston fans doing way worse shit than this.,

Dodger fans are the worst . . . I mean, really, most of them have to live in LA. Living in that environment fosters the development of issues, deep seated issues.
In my experience over the years, I would rate Philly fans as the worst per capita.
The incident with the Dodger fan happened while standing in line at "Taco Tuesday".
I was having a really friendly conversation with a Dodger fan, when his drunk friend decided I was talking shit to him.
He made the right choice after his friend talked some sense into him and he actually apologized.
