Mayor Eric Adams declared himself “the symbol of black manhood in this city, in this country” during a speech last week at a Brooklyn church, where he again defended his outsized reaction to a 84-year-old Holocaust survivor who dared to question him at a community forum.
Hizzoner’s comments came Sunday at the Christian Cultural Center in Starrett City, as he continued to allude to his June 28 exchange with housing-rights advocate Jeanie Dubnau, whom he compared to a plantation owner at the town hall meeting after she “disrespected” him by griping about new rent increases for rent-stabilized apartments citywide.
Adams didn’t mention Dubnau by name — but it appeared he was talking about their exchange when he brought up a story he’s repeatedly told about how his late mother, Dorothy, who cleaned houses for a living, would repeatedly get fired for snapping back at disrespectful employers.
“She would say it was my job to clean your garbage pail — not to take your crap. And she would say to me, ‘baby don’t you ever let someone disrespect you,’” he said during his 10-minute talk.

Adams – who also used to event to continue his onslaught of a New York press corps he believes covers him unfairly — then boasted: “I’m the symbol of black manhood in this city, in this country and what it represents. I am the mayor of the most powerful city on the globe and people need to recognize that.”
He previously declared himself the “future of the Democratic Party” following his 2021 primary victory before easily winning in the general mayoral election. ***

> Hey, it can be fun to listen to Curtis Sliwa in the radio, but he’s also a nutcase. <
Thanks, I wasn’t aware. Sorry to hear that.
If you have to say it, then you ain’t.
Boy Howdy! No inferiority complex there. That guy has an ego the size of Alaska.
Lori Lightfoot complained about Kim Foxx as well The only reason Adams opposed Bragg was because Fox was blasting crime stories daily making crime an election issue. Now Adams sees that Lightfoot lost because of the crime issue, he is going to minimize crime as no big deal. Adams only cares about the optics.
Mommy’s boy POS. And they be all like “Yea!” LOL!
The symbol of black manhood is a dude with a face mask and stolen pistol.
“As the city slides into anarchy.”
I’m willing to let cities, states, individuals make their own choices as long as I don’t have to bail them out.
perfect
As Clevon Little said in Blazing Saddles:
“Excuse me while I whip this out.”
Agree totally.
At this point Biden and Adams believe they are above the law, above the populace and they can say or do anything they feel like at any given moment.
Proverbs 16:18, we find: “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
I think he means well. Problem is that he's incompetent. Kind of like Jimmy Carter.
Best case scenario for a 'rat Mayor in a large city is to have somebody corrupt like Bill Clinton. At least, the corruption is accessible for everybody.
“Mayor Eric Adams declared himself “the symbol of black manhood...”
Shaft.
“..but Curtis Sliwa was not a serious candidate...”
This joker is?
Brandon Tatum and Carl Jackson for openers.
Heard from sources in the department that this guy was a racist dirt bag his whole career and moved up the ladder using his blackness so its not surprising that he is now a symbol of black manhood
The homies will take this as further justification to kill anyone that disses them.
Amish do as Amish does. WTF did you expect, NY. Just another ignorant Amish.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams is “the symbol of black manhood” if black manhood is a swish on the ‘down low’.
We already knew that Adams is a bigot, racist, and antisemite. So is that his definition of “black manhood”? Pretty pathetic.
