Arkansas County sheriff resigns after racist comments recorded

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Arkansas County Sheriff Todd Wright has resigned after he was allegedly recorded using racial slurs against black people.

The five-minute audio recording began circulating on Facebook this week, according to KATV content partner the Pine Bluff Commercial. In the recording, a man uses a racial slur nine times after becoming upset that a woman he was with spoke to a black person in a grocery store.

The man calls the woman a “n**** lover" and says, “Why you got to holler at f****** n****** when I’m around."

Wright's resignation was announced Friday after a special Quorum Court meeting was held to address the recording. Arkansas County Judge Eddie Best said several people spoke during the meeting who knew the sheriff and asked the sheriff to get help.

Hopefully they are looking at his arrest record past and any racist irregularities. (You know they are there!!)

when this trumpian nightmare is over and these goddamn racist miscreants crawl back under the rock from whence they came. This shit is insane. All the time, every day, but I better get real. Every day for the last 400 years this shit has been insane!!! 400 years to get ingrained into the very DNA of every person who is proud to be a trumpian racist and/or trumpian murderer, whether under the authority of badge and gun or militia madness.

If they kick things up to a Civil War II, guess what? They will lose again.

3. I hadn't realized Arkansas was so progressive. I guess some things have changed a little.

4. Things have changed in Arkansas.

In today's senatorial elections, it's the whites who now pick Cotton.
