"I understand what I posted on social media was wrong, offensive and unbecoming," Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves said Monday.

A Virginia mayor is facing calls for his resignation over a Facebook post in which he said that Joe Biden "just announced Aunt Jemima" as his running mate.

Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves posted the comment about two weeks ago on his Facebook page. The comment was condemned by members of the Luray Town Council and other residents before he took it down.


Luray is a town of less than 5,000 people, the majority of them white, according to the most recent census data. Four percent of the population is Black. The town is about 90 miles west of Washington, D.C.

Biden named California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate on Tuesday.

A number of Black women were on Biden’s running mate short list, including Florida Rep. Val Demings; California Rep. Karen Bass, who leads the Congressional Black Caucus; Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms; and Susan Rice, the former national security adviser to President Barack Obama.

It’s a town of 5,000 people with 200 people being of negro heritage. Do you think Biden is going to go from town to town rounding up bigots like Hitler did Jews?

If Biden is elected, his presidency isn’t going to spread decency over the crops of idiots like some pesticide.

What does the governor think of the mayor?

It’s like they just can’t help themselves, he knew saying that was gonna cause problems but his hate of seeing a black woman being in a higher position than him caused him to say it anyway

How ironic because when they got rid of Aunt Jemima cacs were trying to say it wasn't a racist image so if that's the case why use her to describe another black woman? But we all know why, fucking coward ass racist muthafuckas. :smh:
