A local politician in Minneapolis who happens to be white has been accused of racism for running against a Latina City Councilwoman.
Gary Schiff is seeking to return to his old city council seat which he abandoned when he ran for mayor in 2013. He’s trying to unseat City Councilwoman Alondra Cano, the only sitting Latino member in the city’s history, in Minneapolis’ troubled 9th Ward.
Susan Raffo, an area resident and well-known community leader who’s known both Schiff and Cano for many years, has penned an open letter on Facebook accusing Schiff of racism for trying to unseat a Latina woman.
She begins the letter claiming this is “a love letter” and “a letter of hope” to “tell the truth about disappointment,” adding “I have known Councilmember Cano for six years. And I have known you, Gary, for about 23 years. Since you were, I think, 19 or maybe 20.”
Raffo then wrote: “You are a white man running for elected office at a moment of intense division in this country, particularly around race and white supremacy.
“You are choosing to put yourself forward against a Latina, an immigrant. You will be looking for ways to counter Councilmember Cano’s work, while at the same time attempt to shield your actions from anything that might obviously refer to your racial differences.”
“It doesn’t matter what you do or don’t do to try and get around this. As a white man choosing to run at this moment, you have agreed to participate in this moment of deep racial pain and divide,” she added.
The community leader also attacked the politician for believing he has a better idea of “what needs to be done” in the city, rather than supporting the Councilwoman.
“I don’t understand why someone with your experience and relationships doesn’t immediately say to Council Member Cano, ‘it matters deeply to me that you are successful in your role on the city council. We all need you to be successful. Tell me how I can help, tell me what you need from me, tell me how I can support your leadership.’ Instead, you think you have a better idea for what needs to be done.”
Raffo does not appear to be criticizing the third candidate in the race, who is black. Mohamed Farah, the executive director of the Somali nonprofit Ka Joog, is also running for the seat. Farah is expected to get the support of the district’s large Somali population.

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Belushi time.
Great seeing the dems destroy themselves
She’s an unabashed, divisive bigot. Call them on it, always.
This is the end game.

Dumb ####.
And yes, the word describes her fully. Since their are so many curse and non curse four letter words to describe her, you can fill in the blank.
LOL. Gotta love it when Dems get nasty with each other. Its going to get harder and harder for straight white men to run for office as Dems. No matter how liberal their positions are, they are the enemy.
I live next to Minneapolistan. It should be fenced off and require a passport to enter. It really is it’s own little world.
Projection.
It’s what libs do. Racists accusing others of being racists.
A Muslim Somalian black man. Funny how the LGBTs stick with the Muslims who they forget want to toss them from skyscrapers for cheap entertainment. There will be a day when the comeuppance arrives and I imagine the lyrics, "let the bodies hit the 'flo' will take on a whole different meaning. Unless there is a conversion war where the LGBTs try to convert as many Muslims into queers or vice versa. Probably be a stand off then we'll get to watch them beat each in other senseless and in total confusion...
Well, since “racism” is a twentieth century invention with no fixed meaning, and involves enormous subjectivity on the part of the user of the word, calling this behavior “racist” is entirely appropriate.
Democrats - the party that hates white people.
Maybe the WaPo will use that as their new tag line?
The internet....allowing blogs to make Facebook posts big news.
The woman is delusional.
Is she perhaps an illegal alien...??? You know, there are a few of them around......
As they lose more local seats, the fractures in the Dem party will become more visible as they fight each other to see who will control what's left.
At this pace the Democrats will be lucky to get ten percent of the white male vote in the next presidential election. This war on white people is real, and those snowflake white liberals better realize they’re just as vulnerable as a white conservative in being attacked by the multiethnic segregationists in their party. The party that loves to tout JFK and FDR as their iconic leaders is following in the footsteps of George Wallace and Bull Connor!
Mentally Ill people write letters all the time.
Beggars, begging from beggars ...
So anytime a white wins an award against a black (Adele/Beyonce) it’s racist. So from now on, whites must give up any awards they win.
Anytime a nonwhite runs for office, whites must back out of the race.
Anytime a white cop enounters a criminal of color, he must let that criminal kill him.
Why don’t we whites all just kill ourselves to make them happy? That’s what it’s going to come to.
Why don’t we whites all just kill ourselves to make them happy?
Not all together a bad idea. Because after us Whites are gone, they will starve to death while reverting to a 1300s standard of living. It will only be a matter of time because the Blacks who improved their standard of living will be accused of “being White” and killed also. But I will not kill myself. I hate to do anything that would make those that hate me happy.
Hey IDIOT, latinos are WHITE people.
