Outrage: 'White/Jewish City Council Member Representing NYC?'

A candidate for a position on New York City’s 7th Council District said he opposed to the candidacy of his Jewish opponent, whom he referred to a “White/Jewish candidate”, because he was trying “to sneak into office like a thief in the night.”

City Council hopeful Thomas Lopez-Pierre wrote an e-mail to the members of the Douglass Grant Democratic Club, stating his opposition to rival Mark Levine.

The subject line of the e-mail: “A White/Jewish City Council Member representing Upper Manhattan?”

In an interview with The Jewish Week, Lopez-Pierre, an African American, maintained, "I don’t hate Jews; I love black people. I love political empowerment. … A black person has represented the district for many years, and we don’t want to see the black and Latino caucus be minus one."

“I don’t want a councilman that represents all the people; I want a councilman who represents my community,” he said during the interview, adding that the 7th District is located in upper Manhattan, which he says has a 70 percent minority population.

“They said those Jews are gonna lynch you,” Lopez-Pierre told The Jewish Week. “But because I work for myself, I don’t have to answer to anyone…”

No, they won't. That's a double game they play, and no better example exists than that of “white flight” in which whites flee neighborhoods with rising crime, deteriorating schools, vandalism, etc, and go build the next prosperous peaceful community, only for blacks to again follow, clinging tightly to their “oppressors”. If a group of people were oppressing me, the logical reaction would be to put space and distance between us. Blacks, on the other hand, chase whites all over the map while claiming that we oppress them and that our presence holds them down and diminishes them. There's only one way that can make sense-that they're lying and that they're apparently unable to create their own good schools and law-abiding communities, and they can shut up with the money argument-the billions of taxpayer dollars shoveled into the furnace of the Kansas City School District to no avail put paid to that argument.

“There’s one last hope, if we can realise it, it may not be too late quite yet-divorce for black and white America.”

Interesting proposition, but just where would “black America” -go-, after the “divorce” was finalized?

We already know where “Hispanic America” will go. Can you say “Atzlan”?

[mrsmel]

I haven’t given it that much thought, because I don’t believe it will ever happen. It wouldn’t be in the best interests of blacks to give up their scapegoat and milk cow. If they were agreeable, ideally we would come to some agreement about how to divide the US into regions. You’d think blacks would jump at the opportunity to have their own black-run nation, with infrastructure and mod cons already in place, free from any white oppression.

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

When does a 70% “minority” population of an area become the majority? Seriously, I don’t get this guy’s math. He’s in the majority in that area, so what’s he whining about?

[Moltke]

Yep. Foregone conclusion.

[freeangel]

“We live in Atlanta, (Buckhead).”

We’re just over the line in Gwinnett County. Diversity is our middle name.

Lopez-Pierre told The Jewish Week.

"I don’t hate Jews"

I say he does.

“I don’t want a councilman that represents all the people; I want a councilman who represents my community”

That would be the community of black racists.

“They said those Jews are gonna lynch you”

And the uptown Jewish RAT-voters claim they don't mutually embrace Christian Conservatives, because they will send them to the ovens.

Geeeeeeeeezz!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

look at Atlanta and DC. They just don’t have the intellect to run any part of a government. Whadddya say to that?

I'd say the upwardly mobile, educated, self motivated folks got the hell out of those septic tanks a long time ago. Now, only the bottom of the barrel are left to run things.

I guess I’d be called a racist.

Yup.

[EinNYC]

Go straight to hell, you racist hateful piece of offal. People like YOU want to get into office to fill their own pockets as fast as they can from their ignorant constituents, who only look at the melanin content of the skin instead of carefully examining the qualifications of candidates. That they are voting for someone more interested in milking them of their money never occurs to them, ‘cos a BROTHER would nevah do that, right? Please show me ONE stable all-black government in Africa.

Worse: Sitting on busses and expecting not to be chased off.

[Eleutheria5]

“and we don’t want to see the black and Latino caucus be minus one.”

And why can’t a white Jew be part of the black and Latino caucus if he represents a majority black and Latino district? This is serious racism.

[Hacksaw]

And the uptown Jewish RAT-voters claim they don't mutually embrace Christian Conservatives, because they will send them to the ovens.

It wasn't supposed to work out this way. People like Lopez-Pierre were supposed to embrace Jews as their leaders.

[Eleutheria5]

Sure. Yuh. Jews are going around lynching people for walking all over them. That’s why nobody ever dares.

Yuh. Sure. Christian conservatives were worshipping Hitler and committing mass murder for their savior. They embraced National Socialism as part and parcel of Christianity. Songs like these convinced them.

We’re throwing out the Christian line
For Christ was just a Jewish swine
As for the mother, what a shame.
Cohn was the lady’s real name.

(as translated by Louis Nizer in What to Do with Germany)

Or

Sharpen the knives on the sidewalk
To stab the priests with.
We are ready for mass murder

Konrad Heiden’s translation of a song transcribed in the original German in his Der Fuhrer, towards the end of the book (don’t have either book with me, so both the above are from memory).

d the uptown Jewish RAT-voters claim they don't mutually embrace Christian Conservatives, because they will send them to the ovens

It is socialists who sent them to the ovens, of course

[ROCKLOBSTER]

OK, you asked for it (but remember, you started it)

Well, a redneck nerd in a bowling shirt
was a-guzzlin Lone Star beer
Talking religion and-uh politics
for all the world to hear.
“They oughta send you back to Russia, boy,
or New York City one
You just want to doodle a Christian girl
and you killed God’s only son.”

I said, has it occurred to you, you nerd,
that that’s not very nice,
We Jews believe it was Santa Claus,
that killed Jesus Christ.

You know, you don’t look Jewish, he said,
near as I could figger
I had you lamped for a slightly anemic,
well-dressed country n-word.

No, they ain’t makin Jews, like Jesus anymore,
They don’t turn the other cheek,
the way they done before.
He started in to shoutin’
and a-spittin’ on the floor,
Lord, they ain’t makin’ Jews like Jesus anymore.

He says, I ain’t a racist, but Aristitle Onassis
is one Greek we don’t need
And them n-words, Jews and Sigma Nus,
all they ever do is breed.
And wops ‘n micks ‘n slopes ‘n spics
‘n spooks are on my list
And there’s one little hebe from the heart of Texas
is there anyone I missed ?

Well, I hits him with everything I had
right square between the eyes.
I says, I’m gonna gitcha, you son of a bitch ya, for spoutin’ that pack of lies.
If there’s one thing I can’t abide,
it’s an ethnocentric racist;
Now you take back that thing you said ‘bout Aristitle Onassis.

No, they ain’t makin’ Jews, like Jesus anymore,
They don’t turn the other cheek the way they done before.
You could hear that redneck holler
as he hit that hardwood floor
Lord, they sho’ ain’t makin’ Jews like Jesus anymore!

Everybody!:

They ain’t makin’ Jews, like Jesus anymore,
They don’t turn the other cheek the way they done before.
Well, the whole damn place was singin’
as I strolled right out the door
Lord, they ain’t makin Jews, like Jesus anymore.

They ain’t makin’ Jews, like Jesus anymore,
They don’t turn the other cheek the way they done before.
Well, the whole damn place was singin’
as I strolled right out the door
Lord.....
.....they ain’t makin Jews, like Jesus anymore.

Of course, but the lying RATs have portrayed Republicans as racists, KKK and Nazis...when it was all democRAT.

[Eleutheria5]

Redneck nerds? A shy computer hacker who hunts, fishes, likes Charley Daniels’ music, drives a pickup and frequents honky tonks?;-)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I think the song pre-dates the digital age.

“Nerd” was sort of a catch-all vilification (sounds like...)

If it’s come down to this, I don’t see why we don’t just take the next logical step and divide the US into self-governing regions-a homeland for blacks, and a homelamd for whites. Our interests are already divided-they claim we want to oppress them (though they will follow us to the ends of the earth when we commit “white flight” to be near our evil oppressive ways), amd we are tired of subsidising their never-ending failure as a group to close the achievement gap, except by closing it “downwards” to the lowest common denominator. And being eternally blamed in the process.

Let’s just set each other free, and blacks can achieve their unrealised potential far away from us racist, oppressive whites-and we can keep more of our hard-earned money. Seems fair to me.

There are some small efforts in that direction by many who want to secede. Even various groups that would normally be at each other have buried the hatchet to work together for this. Also, there would be one place where if one wishes to live in a multicultural area, there will be one place for that too.

I hate to think of this but in the last four years, I've seen a lot of this and it does make me wonder.

[Nowhere Man]

Like you, when I hear the music of Beethoven, the Pathetic Sonata is my favorite, I have the same thoughts as you. I think of the great cathedrals of Europe, the Crusades, the explorers and so on.
