Yes, I'm in full agreement of removing Bbq Parker from the councilmen seat of Kennewick. Joke or not racist remarks are not called for at all. Especially when American has and began as a multi culture people.

As a resident of Kennewick I am ashamed to have him as a member of my city council. Please ask him to resign.

This is not the first racial denigration made by Bob Parks. Remember, he made the comment several years ago at the Badger Forum that "There should be no mass-scale amnesty and being in the U.S. illegally should be made a felony crime." That is why I supported Candace Blueshel when she ran against him several years ago.

He doesent represent me or my city...disregaurding the sensitivity to people where he has a job position that requires him to be morally responsible for what he says and does.also discovering more i realize he is the person encouraging arlenes flowers to break state law and the reson why dispenseries with legal documentation and permits have been raided and shut down regaurdless of following state laws that the people of this state voted on....hes not upholding his legal responsibilities to uphold the laws of his state and people. Infact hes breaking the law. So i thing he should step down and resign.

Nowhere in his comment did he mention Hispanics. What's the issue? Was anyone killed? Hurt, physically? You people work so hard trying to condemn us, who's the real racist here? You accuse Parks of racism even though he didn't say racism but you're wanting him segregated from the council because of race. Quit playing the damn victim all the time. Get some knowledge first before you begin making these bold, false accusations. Kudos to Bob for apologizing.

Most names on petition probably end in a Z.

Mayor Young, You can do something. You can remove Parks from all the other appointed positions you gave him.

This dinosaur needs to go! His prehistoric racist mentality has no place in our Tri-Cities community. SHAME on the City of Kennewick for taking NO action to remove him from his position. They are essentially saying they welcome racists on to their city council! Each of them have just limited their political future as well. IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE. Show up to Kennewick City Hall and PROTEST. Show the racists in this town that they have NO PLACE our community!

Your comments are offensive. I'll be watching to see if other City Councilmembers condemn or choose to be silent. To be silent is to be complicit.

Get him out, red neck racist. Should not be representing Kennewick. Embarrassed that city of Kennewick wants this type of person representing them.
