Man, you have some deep seated self-loathing there, buddy…

Its not necessarily a race thing in that Gary Condit was going to get reelected (at least the primary) until the Democrats redrew the districts to ensure he’d lose. People don’t like to admit they voted for a loser.

However, the probability the next mayor will be a flamboyant black person cut from the same cloth as Kwame, will be a race thing.

On to another thought,

I think New Orleans and Detroit are great examples of how race based government inevitably fails its people.
Electing people for their “blackness” “whiteness” whatever.. rather than their professional merits or confusing the two is crazy. (see Cynthia McKinney)

I didn’t hear the councilwomans voice, but I can interpret her statement as plaintive. Racial in the sense that Kwame is embarrassing her as a black woman.
Let’s get to the point where fools like Kwame are an embarrassment to themselves and where “blackness” or “whiteness” is not held up as a mitigating factor in the foolishness.
Kwame’s idiocy only reflects badly on the blacks that embrace him.
A little advice: turn your backs on the knucklehead and run his dumb ass out of town black, white or green.
