For the last few months, black politicians have worried that a crowded Democratic field of candidates would pave the way for a white city councilman, David Yassky

could you imagine what would happen if a number of white candidates discussed a strategy to deny a black candidate

Yassky should learn about shark patterns in the Atlantic to show his sensitivity.

For the last few months, black politicians have worried that a crowded Democratic field of candidates would pave the way for a white city councilman, David Yassky, to take the central Brooklyn Congressional seat that has been held by black politicians dating back to Shirley Chisholm in the 1960’s.

Racism plain and simple.
