(Phila) Mayor: Don't like it? Go GOP (The Brothers and Sisters Still Be In Charge!)

Flagrant, virulent racists, spewing hate.

John Street and the NAACP, perfect together.

Street sure likes to be in the same picture when Bush is in town....

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Apparently to Street, anyone with a black face is either a "brother" or a "sister," and entitled to a share of the booty.

"I said in the city of Philadelphia the brothers and sisters are in charge," he declared.

Liberals and black liberals especially have long contended that large cities with large black populations need to have black mayors, particularly RAT ones.

I believe it was Walter Williams who said, fine, then lets take a look at the results by comparing cities with black democrat mayors and black republican mayors and see which cities are doing better.

"I will never apologize for [appointing] a black chief of staff, a black police commissioner, a black fire commissioner..."

Who asked him to apologize?????

[fooman]

What a loathsome city.

While in Detroit on business in 1994, I remarked to a colleague that I never saw a dirtier city. He, a flaming liberal from Pennsylvania, responded, "Obviously you have never been to Philadelphia".

I still have not been there, but I would say that Cincinnati has Detroit beat now.

Nice to see that they are so overtly RACIST. Where does this organization get its funding?

[Mo1]

Ahhhh .. this from the city where not only do their dead vote ... but they vote in Alphabetical Order

[fooman]

Sorry, I am sure your part philly is well. I have only noticed the high taxes/problems.

[Mo1]

Who asked him to apologize?????

Nobody asked him to apologize for hiring blacks ..

[twigs]

Philadelphia is a wonderful city. It just has a loathesome mayor.

[gipper81]

What about the brothers and sisters in the Klinton administration?

What about the brothers and sisters involved with the Kerry Kampaign?

Any thoughts about being continuously and unfairly under-represented Mayor???

[fooman]

Probably could be better. I live in NYC, but almost certainly would have avoided it in the 70s when buildings were burned down for insurance.

[End Times Sentinel]

Like any city, there's good parts and bad parts.  I have to say that I was deeply disappointed by Street's race baiting and how successful it was in the last Election vs. Katz.

Street and the vast majority of the local politicians are criminals and will hopefully one day get their due.

 

Interestingly, I was driving through the neighborhood (South Philadelphia) last week and the wife and I were discussing the ubiquitous gentrification.  Probably 150 new, $250k+ properties in just our division alone.  I commented that "Street has been so busy stealing from the city coffers that he didn't have time to interfere with the real-estate developers."

Every cloud has a silver lining.

I was mainly reffering to downtown amd immediate areas. I hate to see such great city plundered, like DC and NYC were...

[HenryLeeII]

Owl, I haven't received my NAACP convention packet yet (I'm sure its just an oversight, since it couldn't be due to the color of my skin!), but are Walter Williams, Ph.D, Thomas Sowell, Ph. D, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell, or sydicated columnist Larry Elder speaking at this year's shin-dig? Or will it be the esteemed (and perpetually available) Chakah Fatah again?

[HenryLeeII]

Owl, this year's presidential election is going to put you into a quandry, because historically, the Redskins win championships during GOP administrations (for the most part, although the last four years haven't been so kind to us). However, with the return of Joe Gibbs and the probable (hopefully) re-election of George Bush, this could spell big trouble for your beloved Philly Iggles! What will you do on election day? Eagles success and Kerry, or "Hail to the Redskins" and Bush? You decide!

[subterfuge]

"Street said his advice to critics of his 2002 remarks was: "If you don't like the brothers and sisters being in charge, you should register Republican."

Imagine if he had said, "you don't like WHITEY being in charge, you should register Democrat." He would have been demonized to the point of being driven from public view (and rightly so). But he's part of a protected class so we just let it go.
