SUBJECT Re: [NYLXS - HANGOUT] Republican Endorsements and the facts
Ruben, I totally disagree. The best thing to happen to New York City
was Giulliani leaving office. His first 4 years in office he did not
meet with any Black Leaders (elected or otherwise) creating his own
racial polarizing. When he finally meet with black Leaders he ignored
them. I am a 55 year old Black Man and I have lived my entire life in
one or another of the Five Boughs. I never feared for my life until
Giullani's permissiveness with the Police (it's the Police I feared
shooting me not any would be mugger). The police violence against has
not ended. The events after 9-11 saved him from the righteous anger of
the people of this city. Don't forget he Sold us (New York City) down
the river [why else would he fly the Arkansas flag over city hall?
Arkansas did not take the City by force]. I leave you with this
question, If he was such a good Mayor why did he barricade himself in
City Hall? You do remember the barricades?
