Beverley Whaling, mayor of Clay, West Virginia, is out of a job after her social media racism was exposed. Earlier this month, Pamela Ramsey Taylor (pictured left,) who was the director of the government-funded Clay Development Corporation, had written on her personal Facebook page:
“It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.”
Apparently this delighted the now former-mayor, who commented on the status:
“Just made my day Pam.” ⠀
Of course, this went viral immediately, and now Whaling has officially resigned. As for Taylor, a representative of Clay County Development Corp said that the board “removed” her from her position as director.
“I was referring to my day being made for change in the White House! I am truly sorry for any hard feeling this may have caused! Those who know me know that I’m not of any way racist.”
Taylor says she too was not trying to be racist, and was only basing it on her “personal opinion of attractiveness” and not on the color of her skin. Right.
