There was a heated mayoral race in Atlanta between Keisha Lance Bottoms and Mary Norwood. Keisha Lance Bottoms came out on top, although a recount is looming in the tight race, but Bottoms is set to become the second black woman to be elected mayor of Atlanta.
Racial issues were widely discussed throughout the race and Sharon Reed of CBS46 joined her co-workers for an on-air discussion of how race was shaping the election. Viewer Kathy Rae, of somewhere in the Atlanta region, was apparently angry at the discussion and sent a vitriolic email to Sharon Reed, calling her, among other things, the “N-word.” How did Reed react to Kathy Rae? She put Rae’s ignorant, vitriolic rant in the light of day for all to see. Watch:
Kathy Rae. Kathy Rae. Kathy Rae.
