U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly delayed the announcement until this morning.

White official tells black woman he’s part of ‘master race’

LEAVENWORTH, Kan.

A white county commissioner in Kansas who told a black city planner that he belongs to “the master race” as he rejected her proposed development plan is coming under pressure from fellow commissioners to resign.

Leavenworth County Commissioner Louis Klemp cited the master race – the Nazi ideology of Aryan supremacy – at a board meeting Tuesday while responding to a presentation by Triveece Penelton and a colleague on road development options in Tonganoxie, just west of Kansas City.

“I don’t want you to think I’m picking on you because we’re part of the master race,” Klemp told Penelton. He then said he didn’t like any of the land use options that she had presented to the commission.
