David Dinkins Endorses Adriano Espaillat Because 'Most People In The City Are Going To Look More Like Us Than Others'

Former Mayor David Dinkins was in rare form at an endorsement press conference for state Senate candidate Adriano Espaillat, telling reporters:
I grew up in Harlem where we taught that New York City is a melting pot. Well I don't agree with that. I have always said that we are a gorgeous mosaic. We have as many separate ethnic identities as the United Nations. That's why we have a parade about every hour and a half. But it is important, it is so very important, particularly for the people of this district who vote on Tuesday to recognize how important it is to understand that the city is changing. Most people in the city are going to look more like us than others and that's just a fact. It is not a bad thing. It is frankly a good thing.
The district that Espaillat is vying for covers parts of the Upper West and most of Washington Heights, but for years has been represented by Eric Schneiderman. Espaillat was the first Dominican elected to the state Assembly. His opponent, Mark Levine, is white.
Dinkins also seemed to allude to incident last month when he flipped off a heckler at a Charlie Rangel fundraiser, saying, "Now that I am no longer in office, frankly, I go where want, I do what I want, I say what I want."

No, it isn't a good thing.
You know there was a guy who once said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
I just can’t remember his name at the moment, I swear I had it on the tip of my tongue.
Another black racist.
Sounds like a RACIST to me.
Just my opinion of course.
The Dink sounds like he’s a racist. The “Klan With A Tan” as Dr. Williams would call them.

The City is filled with vile, evil (those words are anagrams) black leaders.
David Dinkins
Al Sharpton
Charles Barron
Lenora Fulani
Charles Rangel
And the white liberals LOVE them.
So now that he’s out of politics he can stop lying and let the racist truth in his heart rip. Of course that makes him no different from most all the others (not the racism, the lying). I don’t think a person who told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, could get elected in this country, whether that truth would be agreeable or not. Which is something to ponder when considering elected, or wanna-be elected, politicians. That means they’re mostly all liars.
And when they do, "The City" will look like Detroit does now.

Good point. Maybe he’s got a good idea and doesn’t even know it. After all, it’s nobody’s fault but their own if people want to segregate themselves in violent, poverty-ridden ghettos of their own making.
A mosaic makes a unified attractive picture. I’m not sure what this choice really does.
That might be nice if they only destroyed their own poverty-ridden ghettos but that's not what happens. Detroit was once one of the wealthiest cities in the United States. It was a perfectly normal place when I visited it several times as a young teen in the early 60s. Now it's a sh*thole, not very different from Ayn Rand's Starnesville. That's David Dinkens' future, and ours. Ours!

On November 17, 1992, New York Governor Mario Cuomo gave the Director of Criminal Justice Services, Richard H.Girgenti, the authority to investigate the rioting and the Nelson trial. The Girgenti Report was compiled by over 40 lawyers and investigators, and consisted of a two volume, 600-page document of its findings on July 20, 1993. It was extremely critical of Police Commissioner Lee Brown. The report also embarrassed Dinkins on his handling of the riots.

Wel, good point, only because “white flight” will,someday run out of places to which to flee, and will have to hold their ground.

Corruption Allegations
On July 18, 2010 an article ran in the New York Post[6] alleging nepotism in the non-profit Northern Manhattan Coalition for Economic Development, largely supported by public grant money secured by Assemblyman Espaillat. Many close to Espaillat, including his sister-in-law and former chief of staff, were salaried employees of the organization.
When the mind goes the truth surfaces
“Most people in the city are going to look more like us than others “
Is that why the city is a sh*thole?
it’s always been about this and nothing else
usurp what they view as white power by any means
