trying to set him up?So he's racist against blacks? I want to understand you fully here.
Only Haymarket can set himself up.

Daley's dictator-like behaviors are pretty well documented.
Has he used eminent domain several times over? Or at least attempted to
Yes he has. Numerous times.
Has Bloomberg ever destroyed an airport in the middle of the night in a unilateral move?
Not yet.....

Looks like Haymarket put himself in a vicarious situation and needs to own up.

What does this even mean?
-- I wonder why that is so? --
It means only by your own words you can set yourself up. It was in answer to liblady's comment - Rev can't set you up unless you choose to when you respond to APDST or to Rev.
Care to answer your own question?
There is a tactic being employed by extremists on the right wing that is attempting to take the charge of RACISM off the table in any discussion about anything in America. The goal of this is to negate a tool and weapon that has been employed to shine light upon the motivations and beliefs of some on the far right. The right believes that if they can continue to throw up roadblocks against the simply bringing up of the term, that it will be of benefit to them, silencing the other side and allowing them to proselytize without fear of contradiction in this one area.
APDST said that the recent vote was made up primarily from the minorities that voted for Emanuel and then he stated that 61% of the population of the Chicago area was made up of minorities. That's what set this current string to the thread. Where's the racism there?
I don't have Chicago's population stats available but what would be racist about pointing out the population ethnic demographic?
The Daily NorthwesternIn the last wide-open mayoral race for the city of Chicago two decades ago, 68 percent of voters turned out to elect Mayor Richard M. Daley to his first term as mayor. On Tuesday, only 41 percent of registered voters came out, according to the Chicago Board of Elections.
The lower turnout was even worse than what Chicago election officials predicted the day before the elections. Chicago Board of Elections Commissioners Chairman Langdon Neal predicted a turnout of slightly more than 50 percent, a percentage already low by Chicago standards.
What in blazes are you talking about? You are making no sense and others here cannot follow you either.
YOU cry that your posts make you appear to be a racist. I wonder why that is so?
YOU cry that people read your posts and call you a racist. I wonder why that is so?
YOU say that you expect to be called a racist based on your experience in the past. I wonder why that is so?
It seems that YOU are your own worst enemy on this issue.

This is but one example of the tactic being employed on this board.
Chaos - you ask me to answer my own question - which is absurd. I asked the question to the one person who can answer it. Only he can explain what is in his mind and heart. I cannot do it for him because it is not my mind or my heart.
I don't know why this thread has turned into "he said - he said". What about the OP?
-- There was a very low turnout this election cycle -- which says to me that minorities didn't get out to vote much at all --
Of course I expect to be called a racist, anytime I criticize minorities, or a minority community. But, the truth hurts, sometimes. Let's face it, minorities don't vote for the guy saying that they should get off welfare and get a job.
Wow! Just wow! I am a minority. Does that mean I'm on welfare? Does that mean I am unemployed? Seriously STFU with your stereotypical comments.
You can feel the frustration and angst in apdst's posts.
from Erod
Which might be true. And also might be true of many posts and posters here. But that is hardly a substitute for knowledge, reason and understanding.
Apdst has as much of those three as anyone here. His point on this is so on target, to disagree with it is asinine, if not intellectually dishonest.
Of course I expect to be called a racist
And there is a point here beyond the obvious when somebody knows that if they post certain things that others will see it as racist?
