Being white may not be his only problem in that district.

racism (discriminating by people group) should stop.

I have no dog in this hunt or personal favorites in the campaign - only the fervent hope that the electorate there will reject ghettoized thinking when it comes to weighing the qualifications of candidates who seek to represent it in Congress. Perhaps, eventually, we can come to see race as we regard eye color - that is, as nothing about which to be proud or discriminating.I see nothing wrong with being proud of your race, eye color or even gender.

Everything negative, right down to the word "colonizer," has been thrown at Yassky.
It looks like those poly sci courses weren't wasted on his opponents (For reasons I don't remember now, I took several semesters of Third World politics/colonialism)....

"People vote for their own kind," he said. "There's nothing wrong with it. It's natural."
To be fair to Ed Koch, I think there's probably an element of truth to his statement. In a Thomas Hobbes-style state of nature, people may well be inclined to vote for "their own kind". But that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with that attitude. US citizens do not exist in a state of nature. And if I were black, and somebody told me that I did live in such a state, I'm sure I'd find it incredibly insulting and racist.

Just another example of the racist entitlement philosophy fostered by the left.

Being a minority is no excuse to be racists against others.

Do they do runoff elections if no candidate manages to win a majority?
To: Coleus
That candidates should be judged on their résumés and on the basis of their ideas, and not their skin color, is the new American paradigm. I'd say "someday my children will be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin", but that would be plagiarism.

"People vote for their own kind," he said. "There's nothing wrong with it. It's natural." Not really...if the "first African-American President" Bill Clinton were to take up residence in Harlem and run for Congress, he'd win in a cakewalk against any black competition.
A textbook example of "if that's the exception, that proves the rule".
