Op Ed: The Bloomberg Minstrel Show & the Mayoral Race Circus
*I tried posting this a week ago. Technology - *sigh
About a week ago our mayor - Bloomers - criticized the NYT for not printing anything on 17yo black youth. As this is true, Bloomers used this as a smoke & mirror trick to the NYT criticism of his Stop & Frisk Policy. Using racism to cover up racism?!? Wow! Big balls. Huge. It seems like we are in the last days and not just in regard to Bloomers. In Godspeed, Bloomers is using his final hour to ban soda, has a sudden urge to increase the recycling program, and get more people hit by cars with his bike program. As we look forward to the end of his reign, is there light at the end of the tunnel?
We have a candidate on federal trial, another who helped Bloomers get a third term, a supermarket chain owner, and the MTA dude to name a few. (Have you been on the subway?) What do we have to do to get a strong POLITICAL candidate to run for office. I guess that ended when Ronald Reagan became president.
I am fearful. History always repeats itself. Rome is going to fall. The question is when and how.
