I've lived in the Valley. It has absolutely NOTHING in common with the horribleness of the rest of LA. It needs to be separate. Too bad for these race baiters and haters. Race baiting and hating doesn't work as well as it did 40 years ago.

"We join here together to oppose a movement to destroy this city, to oppose a movement to split this city apart," Wesson said

"Unlike our push for reparations, which is of course a UNIFYING idea. Uniting with our white brothers has always been of paramount importance to the black community," he added between choking on his own bile and vomiting from the sheer hypocrisy.

[Vidalia]

WHY?

WHO CARES?

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

Let the Cesspool fall in on itself.

Same with the New York asses...

[nomad]

Or as the behind the scenes leader, Tyrone Shoelaces was heard saying, "...but we need dem rich white honkyies foe day taxes." I say let those limosine liberals put their money where their leftist mouths are, NO SUCCESSIONS!

[pariah]

The Rev. Cecil "Chip" Murray, pastor of First AME Church said, "The drainage of people is the drainage of funds, and the chief victims of drainage are the impoverished."

The parasitical classes will be 'victims' if separated from the host classes. Cynicism, pure cynicism, Reverend. But somehow, the diversity-loving liberals ain't listening -- more cynicism.

.....a breakaway would reduce black clout.....We join here together to oppose a movement to destroy this city, to oppose a movement to split this city apart.....A breakup of the city would cause damage in South Los Angeles.....The drainage of people is the drainage of funds, and the chief victims of drainage are the impoverished.....

This is code talk for we can't let them leave because they are very productive people and we are not. If we (LA) let them (Valley and Hollywood) go their standard of living will go up and ours will go down. We need them so they must stay and produce for us.

Where are the liberal outcries for the right of self-determination and freedom from oppression?

[JoeSixPack1]

So what they are really saying is that their church sponsored liberal voting block is about to lose quite a substantial number of its taxable citizens.

[Godel]

Sometimes the blatant anti-white racism our society encourages just amazes me. Can you imagine the Sacramento Bee running an article in glowing terms about white lawmakers angry because something was going to reduce "white clout". Our society is so sickeningly virulently ill it makes me wonder. How can a right thinking person look at this racist double standard and not condemn it.

Quick: what's the difference between Hezbollah and a black liberal U.S. politician?

Answer: at least Hezbollah is honest enough to call its hostages exactly that!

a movement to split this city apart

The white plantation owners in the Antebellum South said they didn't want their plantations split apart, either. Today in LA county it is the blacks who are the masters and the whites who labor as their slaves.

I guess whites are blacks are equally--bad! :-(

[cgbg]

These black leaders also remind me of characters of Ayn Rand's _Atlas Shrugged_. "Please don't run away. We want to loot you some more!"

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Now if they can just figure out a way to FORCE productive people to REMAIN in California and not move to other states, they will have it made.

[fporretto]

Remarkable. They were never this unabashedly direct about their agenda before. Maybe they feel that there's no longer a need to hide it.

Support secessionist movements like this, especially where sectors of cities want to break away from the larger municipality. Cities have exercised a privilege of annexation the past few decades that has no basis in law or equity -- and it really got rolling with school busing for racial-redistribution purposes, back in the Sixties. The result has been a little-discussed municipal predation on persons who had often moved out of the very cities that annexed them.

Didn't that judge who ordered a doubling of Kansas City property taxes to support a massive, court-ordered reengineering of the public schools, back in 1987, also order the annexation of a large sector of the suburbs around the city?

Here in New York, Staten Island wants desperately to get away from the rest of New York City, which treats Staten Island shamefully. That great civil libertarian David Dinkins told them he'd oppose them no matter what their rationale was, because he needed Staten Island's money, and there was nowhere else to put New York's garbage.

Mr. Dinkins, the first black man to be elected Mayor of New York City, had no trouble with enslaving whitey. The voters of New York thought otherwise when re-election time came.

”Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson, D-Culver City, said Friday the anti-secession message will be spread to black voters from churches and union halls. The campaign also will register blacks to vote in time for secession balloting Nov.5.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if religion were separated from politics?
I wonder how much of the union dues are going to support this – is Herb Wesson et al renting the hall, or is it a freebee?

[BillyBoy]

There has been talk here in Illinois that if the city of "Angels" is sucessfully split up, Chicago will win back the title of "America's second largest city" that it had before L.A. stole it in 1982. For having an area (in size) much smaller than L.A., Chicago's population is so condensed that it has almost three million people.

It does sound more logical that "The Second City" should be the second city. ;-)

Go secessionists go. Good luck in the CA State Assembly.

[xp38]

Why isn't Beverly Hills targeted? They are already separate I believe.

[Caipirabob]

Hear that sound? It's the "Tax Subsudies Gravy Train" leaving the station! Now suddenly local politicians will have to find a means to "revive" local economies and make their districts attractive to businesses and higher income residences without relying on taxes confistcated from other districts. The locals will have to become accountable for their lifestyles if they want to appear more appealing to outsiders. Basically, people will be held held accountable for thier actions.

Can't have that kind of crap going on. Better block the secession.

Once again black churches are going to used for political purposes. Sounds like it is time for them to lose their tax exempt status.

[agrandis]

HAHAHA! Hollywood fighting for secession! Hahaha!

Maybe they will come out with an accurate movie about the War Between the States.
