Title: To tell the truth.......
Post by raydawg on 09/04/18 at 14:28:30

Depending on what it is, might cost you.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announces he will not seek re-election

excerpt:

In mid-August, Emanuel drew widespread criticism for blaming a lack of morals in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods for the uptick of violent crime.

Emanuel, who has been mayor since 2011, urged locals to “be a neighbor” and “speak up” to help law enforcement pursue killers, gang members and drug dealers.

“This may not be politically correct," he said, "but I know the power of what faith and family can do. … Our kids need that structure. … I am asking … that we also don’t shy away from a full discussion about the importance of family and faith helping to develop and nurture character, self-respect, a value system and a moral compass that allows kids to know good from bad and right from wrong.”

Critics quickly called him out for what they dubbed tone-deaf comments, in which he seemed to be blaming the victims.

Kwame Raoul, a Democratic state senator who is running for Illinois attorney general, took a similar view. “I think for the mayor to make a generalization about a community is more than just misspoken," Raoul said, "it's outright wrong,”

I wonder how many folks understand anger is a secondarily emotion?

I'm happy to see him step away.

He's at least got the sense to do so.

But to be clear ray, his "morality lecture" didn't cause his base to suddenly abandon him.

He did that over the course of his terms.
(you'll see that long before this, I'd been saying how little I cared for rham. And it's not just me.)
