Yes, he certainly is.
 
The Bernie Bros say all kinds of bad things about Bloomberg.
 
Yes, he certainly is.

Winston:

For former Mayor Bloomberg's, "stop and frisk" policy in NYC or for some other reason?

Cheers.
Evilroddy.

For the leaked audio from Ben Dixon, yeah.

Bloomberg is a right winger and Shapiro is a clown

Mike Bloomberg is most certainly not a racist. He may be an elitist, but never a racist. My son lived in the Bronx during the time 'stop and frisk' was a police practice. He was stopped three times and frisked. He was okay with it and do you know why he was? He told me the Bronx actually WAS safer because it meant that people around him were less likely to be carrying concealed weapons. My son is white by the way and believes that Bloomberg was one of the best mayors NY ever had. That's good enough for me, that's why I've supported Bloomberg for president since 2015 when I urged him to run.

Valid perspective thank you for sharing it.

A very short Republican racist, alas, why can't you all remember that?
 
and the "centrists" are correct, but I CERTAINLY hope you nominate him anyway.

The centrists have driven the country into multiple crisis and The Bernie bros have observed and criticized it. They have no power other than triggering you and the políticians you vote for

Ah, yes, the socialists' favorite word: trigger. What the Bern man will get is a Trump landslide he'll never did dig out from under.

Maybe you should write this down, since you don't seem to have a grasp of the politics of this situation: It will be a Cold Day in Hell before I EVER vote for a Socialist.

Yet you gleefully vote for Trump's socialism.

Conservatives opposing socialism is just a tagline. You guys vote for corporate socialism and farmer bailouts to buy your way into office all the time.

I don't understand why there is a question mark in the thread title. He's a racist little republican looking to turn the democratic party into the party of stop and frisk. What a disaster.

Trump at his rally in New Hampshire urged his followers to go vote in the Democratic Primary for the weakest candidate there. So to do your leader's bidding, you might have to go vote for a socialist.

Hope your hand doesn't freeze on the lever.
 
Bloomberg is a racist like Trump: 100% actually.

...and with that you admit that you can't understand what you were just told. You are CLEARLY a Dem.

on its face your argument is well asserted but when you add Bloomberg's comments about minorities and guns and the disparate impact that the stop and frisk worked upon black males, the situation becomes much more cloudy.
 
There is a third answer that should be here. "I don't know." I have no idea if he's a racist or not. Neither does anyone else that doesn't know him or hasn't been around him to hear anything other than hearsay. We have a lot of that going on lately.

There was a 48% reduction in homicides (most were black and brown victims) in New York City and a 39% reduction in overall crimes. 100,000 new jobs were created for blacks during Mike Bloomberg's administration. There were 9,200 fewer homicides in his 12 years in office compared to the 12 years prior to his 3 terms. There was a 39% reduction in incarcerations while crime was coming down. This reduction in crime was all to the benefit of everyone in NY, not only whites or blacks.

So you support stop and frisk? You are touting Bloomberg's achievements regarding crime which implies that you agree with the methods he used to produce those results.
