RE: NYC has been off and on in that regard

NYC has been run by Rudy Giuliani for 8 years and then by Bloomberg ( who continued Rudy’s tough on crime policies for close to 12 ).

Bloomberg steps down in 2013, and the favorite to win is a lesbian liberal ( who just married her girlfriend ) named Christine Quinn, who promises to undo the nearly 20 years of tough-on-crime policies already in place. Heck, she has been fighting Bloomberg over the minimum wage (she wants it increased by 15%.

I don’t see any attractive prospects for NYC Mayor in the horizon. All I see are LIBERAL DEMOCRATS.

We shall see....

I wonder how many of these once thriving US Cities have had Multi-Decade Democrat “Minority” Mayors, Majority “Minority” City Councils AND “Minority” Police Chiefs?

The major cities in Massachusetts are Boston, New Bedford/Fall River, Worcester, Springfield, and Lowell/Lawrence.

Except for Boston, the remaining cities are shells of their former selves: ebt-accepting convenience/lottery stores, pawn shops, check-cashing, drug-dealing, and single-mother welfare families. They’re microcosms of the future, post-apocalyptic America.

Let’s look at Oakland as an example.

Current CA governor, Jerry Brown was Mayor from 1999 to 2007.

His successor, Ronald Vernie “Ron” Dellums became Mayor 2007 to 2011. Dellums was the first African American elected to Congress from Northern California and the first openly Socialist Congressman since World War II.

Jean Quan is the current Mayor. A DEMOCRAT sympathetic to the Occupy Movement.

Need we say more?

“US CITIES BECOMING CESSPOOLS OF FILTH, DECAY AND WRETCHEDNESS” - That was the Democrat plan all along. America’s big cities are the Democrat’s new plantations. See how many of the Democrat bigwigs live in the hood. I am consistently amazed that blacks vote for Democrats.

[Iron Munro]

I don’t think LBJ called them “negroes.”

I was paraphrasing because I don't want to have to fight an Eric Holder/Dept of Social Justice Hate Crime lawsuit!

Been going on for some time. I went to work for Burroughs corp in 1967. They're world headquarters was in Detroit and I trained there. I was there in 67 when the riots broke out and I saw a man on a roof with a rifle shooting down at people. Been going on a while.

“The second......well, if I stated it here I’d probably be banned.”

You may or may not be banned, and/or your post might be removed, but if you blame blacks for having a large role in the destruction of once great American cities, you will get some here on FR that will say: “Oh no, it is LBJ’s Great Society’s fault” or the fault of “Democrats running these cities into the ground”.

For me it is vastly more about personal choice and responsibility. Blacks didn’t have to let the Democrats “destroy their families”. Just say no, Trayvon.

I guess you may or may not see this reply.....

Today, all of those cities are rapidly being transformed into cesspools of filth, decay and wretchedness.

Sounds like a perfect environment for Obama’s “Embrace The Hate” campaign.

I lived in San Francisco for 25 years and it has been in a headlong slide into a citywide slum for at least 20 years.

It is, without a doubt, the most physically filthy place I’ve ever seen. It has become an open running sewer...and I grew up two blocks from a steel mill near Pittsburgh, PA, so I know filth when I see it.

I've visited several large Third World cities...recently.I've also visited Detroit...recently.

I'll be damned if I can tell the difference.

Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr.
His daughter, Nancy Pelosi, is a Representative from California, who served as the House of Representatives House Minority Leader between 2003 and 2007, and was the Speaker of the House from January 4, 2007 until January 3, 2011. D’Alesandro’s son, Thomas L. J. D’Alesandro III, also served as Mayor of Baltimore from 1967 to 1971.

D’Alesandro ran for Governor of Maryland in 1954, but was forced to drop out due to being implicated in receiving undeclared money from Dominic Piracci, a parking garage owner convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.[4]
