Andre Knight a racist? maybe

From the Telegram,

I am calling to make people aware that Andre Knight recently outdid himself recently at the Nash-Rocky Mount School Board meeting.

He was standing up in the middle of the meeting and singing “We Shall Overcome.”

I hope someone was there from the newspaper.

Can we find out what the root of his problems are?

but its the comments, that are interesting.

First off Andre used claims of racist, to get his seat on the Council, He only owns the house in the district that he represent, he didn’t live there at the time..

now the comments,

“he is one for the leading racist in Rocky Mount. Everything about him has to tie into racism.

Now this one I like,

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a good overall diagnosis for this racist clown.

Specifically, Andre could likely be classified as a "Fanatic narcissist":

"An individual whose self-esteem was severely arrested during childhood, who usually displays major paranoid tendencies, and who holds on to an illusion of omnipotence. These people are fighting delusions of insignificance and lost value, and trying to re-establish their self-esteem through grandiose fantasies and self-reinforcement. When unable to gain recognition or support from others, they take on the role of a heroic or worshipped person with a grandiose mission."

It’s time for him to go..

Andre Knight was one of many who were arrested during the NAACP Moral Mondays protest that happen in Raleigh. While charges against him were dismiss, which they should be. However some locals Rocky Mount Citizens thinks his actions are unbecoming of a council member and is an embarrassment on the City as a Whole.
