This is what they have said and acted on for years. to and anyone that disagrees just racist. Or am I wrong in how the town thinks or at least has handled all situations until this point.

You bring up a point that, I believe, is at the crux of the problems in our community. There is a group of activists and board members who believe exactly what you describe. For proof, consider these board slides presented by Biz Lindsay-Ryan, who specifically argues that any criticism of Dr. Horton is inherently white rage.
Ms. Lindsay-Ryan also makes a living by telling people this - she runs a DEI consulting firm and speaks mostly to wealthy white audiences. She is currently making about $450/hour consulting up in Lake County, Illinois.
I've spoken with other folks in the community who have argued, "If we criticize black leaders, then no black people will want to be leaders" - which (i think) is a very infantilizing argument.
