Mayor Michael Bloomberg got a decidedly mixed reception before an overflow crowd celebrating Martin Luther King Day at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network headquarters in Harlem.

Hizzoner was greeted with loud boos combined with some polite applause when he took the podium.

Why would that be relevant? Are people from all over the country moving to New York so that their kids can go to public school?

White boy should have come through the door literally throwing twenty dollar bills around.

That is the ONLY way he would have been cheered.

So again, who BY FAR, are the biggest racists in this country? Hint, it ain’t the Archie Bunkers, and really never was.
