That is the definition of race bating. If I misunderstood your post I apologize.
I do not mean to start a fight, or get into an argument over how Georgians access the new Braves stadium, but this quote from the chairman of the Cobb County Republican Party does lend factual support to the argument that Cobb County would like to limit Atlanta residents' access to the stadium (at least by rail). Whether you find such a statement to be "race-baiting" is up to you, but plenty of level-headed folks have determined the quote is directed at "those" people (minorities).
It is absolutely necessary the (transportation) solution is all about moving cars in and around Cobb and surrounding counties from our north and east where most Braves fans travel from, and not moving people into Cobb by rail from Atlanta.
Link to that quote here here.
Putting the highly sensitive subject of race aside, a good article explaining the views of those saddened by the Braves' decision to move to Cobb County can be found at Maria Saporta's blog here.
