What is all this "white supremacy" garbage coming out of the mayor's office all of a
sudden?
Aside from Larry Leininger, the mayoral candidate who IS a white supremacist, who are
these other "white supremacists" her self-styled spokespeople are referring to--Rybak
supporters, like me?
Did Sharon not get a faxed invitation from me to the YWCA's "Wake Up Minnesota" rally
at the capitol in response to the Klan's presence?
Did she not garner my vote twice?
Was I not once an ardent supporter of her as well as of Brian Herron?
Has it not been both black and white people busting their butts for Brother Shane's
and Natalie Johnson Lee's campaigns, and signing up scores of new voters in North
Minneapolis?
For the record, when I worked in City Hall day after day I saw a lot of black people
in the mayor's office, furious with her and demanding to see her.
I certainly think it is racist to accuse anyone who doesn't vote for the incumbent of
being a "white supremacist." (As if the black citizens of Minneapolis are monolithic
and all psychically connected, not individuals with individual minds--what an insult!)
Just who is a "white supremacist?" Just what, in the context of the mayoral campaign,
is "white supremacy," and how is another Sharon term going to make any difference that
it hasn't made before?
I don't see any connection between the terrorism in New York and D.C., and the mayoral
race in Minneapolis!
If Sharon is indeed making these statements she had better justify them, and if people
are speaking for her out of turn, she had better put a stop to it. This is beyond
anything I would have expected from her office. This is truly unconscionable.
