Washingtonpost.com: D.C. Mayor Acted 'Hastily,' Will Rehire Aide

Williams, whose quick acceptance of David Howard's resignation last month led to a national debate over racial sensitivity and political correctness, indicated in a statement yesterday that he had made a mistake and "acted too hastily" in allowing Howard to resign as head of the city's constituent services office.

The mayor said that an internal review had "confirmed for me that Mr. Howard did use the word '*****rdly,' but did not use a racial epithet" during a Jan. 15 discussion with two employees of the Office of the Public Advocate. "*****rdly" means miserly and has no racial connotation."

The original question, which you seem to have forgotten, is the problem the GOP has with recruiting people of color into its fold. Now if people are "buying" the Democrats "race card" it is equally obvious that when they leave they sure as hell aren't flocking to the GOP.

Now that is the topic of the thread. Shall we stick to it?

As long as you stop accusing folks of racism we shall.

If you read my first post you will see why some folks vote Democrat. Another reason, which you again dismissed with absolutely no argument is the Dems view the world as groups, Republicans view people as people.

Any party that specifically "recruits" groups, panders to those groups. why can't the Dems make their case based on what's best for everyone rather than what's best for specific groups?

Why would you want to associate with a party that has Barack the Magic Negro, distributed as a Holiday card by someone in the GOP HDQ, has Palin calling black racism "a light burden", as Hailey Barbour clamoring for the "good ol days of the 1960's in MS" and has a conservative talk show host saying "if we abort black babies, the crime rate will go down?"
The stuff about "entitlements that are undeserved, etc" that's purely open to one's own opinion.

Well it's not like that is exactly false.

Speaking the truth, no matter how painful it may be for some, is not racism.

Go back to Stormfront and stay off here.
More whites commit crimes than any other race in the USA, (even though thanks to racism, the % of whites that commit crimes may be lower than the % of other races that commit crimes), however, most of the crimes are committed by whites......
should we abort all white babies?
anyway, stay on topic, Klansman.

Nice feeble attempt at dismissing a fact by insinuating I am a racist, but you failed miserably. (Something I suspect is not a rarity with you).

Per capita, the numbers simply do not lie. Blacks are exponentially more likely to commit a violent crime compared to whites, and still more likely than commit a violent crime than any other race.



Or you could consider this chart from the FBI:

Expanded Homicide Data Table 3 - Crime in the United States 2009

The gist of it:



Why don't you stick to eating paint chips at recess while the adults debate intelligently?

Because it's a lot better than the alternative and at this point we can't afford the alternative any more.

Whites still commit more crimes than blacks and still make up most of the population of jails.....
that's a fact and it is the way it is since they're more of them.....
Asians commit more crimes that any other race in Japan, China, etc...since, duh, they're 95% of the population there....
I can't explain it to someone who probably flunked out of 6th grade, and who's a bigot on top of that.....maybe you are Bill Bennett by chance?

Are you capable of having a conversation without attacking someone personally over and over again?
