Chamber of Commerce suppressing Ghoulet's racist comments

[Anonymous]

Nothing can do policy wise because everyone is afraid of offending anyone with anything. crime is going up all over the city but it’s unpalatable to talk about so we get violence interruptors and the youth rehab act and basically touchy feely kumbaya bullsht no arrest no incarceration action from all the council members in the name of “fairness”. It’s all fked. Thanks everyone. It’s too offensive to actually just talk about how bad crime is and we have to skirt around it and “examine the root causes of poverty” in endless studies and meanwhile families are fking terrified because roving bands of teens are carjacking them. It’s great work. And the best part is the political pendulum will never sway even close to moderate in this city which prevents any tough on crime policies from coming up.

If I was voting in Ward 3 though, I’d probably be voting for the lady from Palisades. It’s important that all constituencies in the city have appropriate representation.

So vote for the lady who chose to live in the most isolated, transit poor, no affordable housing island in the city?

LOL, no thanks.

Palisades has lots of affordable housing on MacArthur Boulevard. And depending on how broadly you define Palisades, there are a bunch of apartment complexes around Ward Circle.

That's not 'affordable housing" but rather lower cost market rate housing. There is a difference. Your ignorance is quite a tell.

The fact that you think this is an important distinction is hilarious because it shows that you have lost the plot. It’s not “affordable housing”, it’s “cheap market rate housing”.

This is almost correct. The problem is not that the people cannot talk about crime. The problem is that it’s taboo to state the obvious point that crimes are caused by real people and not some abstraction.

Affordable housing is a term of art where there are government subsidies. Sorry you don't know enough about to topic to understand that. Just stay in your Palisades cocoon and let the rest of us deal with the city's issues.

The issue is that he had a canned answer he thought was appropriate for the question asked, and it wasn't and it was offensive to the people of color and everyone else who was there (except him, of course)

Literally no body cares that there’s a bureaucratic, technical definition of “ affordable housing” that only a handful of people know about. What people do care about is whether they can pay the rent within their budget. You still don’t recognize how ridiculous you sound.

I don’t think you should be speaking for what is offensive to people of color.

Well, the people of color who were there were pretty upset about it. That should be enough. Too bad people like you are willing to accept a racist like Goulet to achieve other goals. It is very GOP to turn a blind eye to major flaws in a candidate to get what you want.
