It has also spawned calls by black politicians that he abandon the contest and that Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles E. Schumer, Mr. Yassky's mentor, take sides in the fight.

Calling Bre'r Rabbit and Uncle Remus!

Sounds like the ones who are getting displaced are the ones who want somebody under their control.

This article shows the worst of race politics and bigotry. Caught in the crosshairs is a liberal, this time.

Aren't lots of black residents of Manhattan being priced out of the housing market? I read somewhere that quite a few are moving back to southern states where their ancestors came from two or three generations ago.

Remember: it's only discrimination if it's acting against blacks.

If it's against white people we'll cheer it. :)

there are signs that many voters are focused on the issues that affect their daily lives, and not the race of a candidate.

Not after the professional race pimps, Al and Jesse, slither into the picture.

To whoever made the abuse report-- tar baby is an acceptable phrase. Tony Snow used it in his first press gaggle on the job-- it caused a minor furor but only because of some having decided to try to turn it into a racial term. The primary characteristic of tar is not its color. It is that it is sticky. Regards

"But at the same time, Mr. Yassky has attracted support from some blacks in the district, including some who said they found him appealing when he spoke at their churches." And

"She said that she had not yet chosen a candidate, but that she had heard Mr. Yassky speak at her church and liked what he had to say."

Why is it liberals get their panties in a bunch when they think a conservative has spoken at a church but liberals always use chuches as a podium??

"Mr. Yassky, ...a true believer in the power of government to improve lives..."




Well, that explains it. I can't imagine the Brooklyn black community electing someone like that.
