Question for Jeri Rowe

I emailed the following to Jeri Rowe this morning.
-----------------

Dear Jeri,

In your recent column in the (Greensboro, NC) News & Record, you wrote this about the recent city council elections:

"So, voters wanted change. They wanted new leadership. And according to some, they wanted someone white, not black ."

Who are the "some" who said that voters wanted "someone white, not black?"

You have previously told me you prefer phone converstations to email, but please reply by email if you can so that I may post your reply word-for-word on my blog.

Cordially,
Roch
