Re: [Mpls] 3rd Ward debate- Sly Di chimes in...

[V.L. Freeman]

(JP) We'll see in the end who walks out of it, but if Olin does end up representing the 3rd ward, I hope he can do a better job of telling Black people apart than his supporters are.

(VF) Well, where should I start, That was a pretty mean and nasty blow, especially since I myself, thought you were Keith Ellison. I think you know I am Black....Having said this are you trying to tell me that only white people support Olin??? I think if you look around, there are many other blacks that are jumping at the chance to elect Olin Moore, Including myself.

Why, because he is not using fear factors to get peoples votes, nor is he is constantly bashing people for their votes. It is just so funny how the great leaders of the DFL are often times praised when doing the work and creating policies that some many of us take for granted, However, If you have worked with those same great leaders under the DFL, you are labeled as a insider. This is so stupid!, We need to get on with the business, you vote for who you want, Oops!, Im sorry you don't live in this ward. Well, I put it this way, we the third ward is voting for our choice and the choice we are looking for is someone that has "SKILLS" "EXPERTISE." So far, Olin Moore is that choice.

I really resent the fact that race has even crept into this debate. We are supposed to be about fairness for everyone, and I am sooooooo tried of hearing what Don Samuels can do for black males, if this is the case, let him continue to do the job unelected, or better yet why has he not done the job all over Minneapolis instead of just Jordan. I resent the fact, not from you of course, but from his supporters, looking at me sideways because I not voting for him because he's black.
