if another race person had said his comments reaction would have been different

that's jacked up but reality in this town

You actually believe there's someone from another race may potentially represent Ward 8 on the Council so they chose to let Trayon White slide on this issue to keep that seat black?
Do tell...what American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, or white person living in Ward 8 poses this threat?

Another African-American politician needs to take White on in the primary -- and remind everyone how well Ward 8 was served when they last had a as their council member a bigoted buffoon who had an elastic relationship with the law.

You're one sad little fellow

Hey, Trayon, get off of DCUM and get back to your day job ... or go finish the Holocaust museum tour from which you went AWOL.

The holicaust isn't American history sono won't be finishing up sh!t

Clearly you haven’t heard of World War 2. Try googling it, dumbass.

Good. That took me a bit as the FT was also quoting Soros from the New Yorker. Then I had to find the article itself. I believe in the 20/20 interview the story he told was of going Jewish door to Jewish door as a young teen

Welp looks like this "big deal" is a wrap.
No reprimand from the council everybody dialed back their calls for action and no more front page headlines the story has flamed out. Was interesting while it lasted.

Not the PP, but reflective of the general increase in antisemtism throughout the world. Two Orthodox Jews were attacked, unprovoked, in Crown Heights this week, and here in DC, well.....just read this thread. Throughout history, the Jews have been everyone's whipping boy, and it's gotten worse lately.

My friend faced the same with her son. The boys in his middle school (middle school boys are the worst) were mocking and insulting him about his yamulke, and she and her husband (both Orthodox Jews) actually told him he didn't have to wear it to school. To the boy's credit, he did not want to back down to the antisemttic kids and hand them a win, and he wore it. Eventually the teasing stopped since it wasn't getting the desired effect, but they did transfer their son to a Jewish private school the following year. This was in a neighborhood bordering the DC line.

I tell you this story because I can tell by your compassionate response that you would sympathize.

Life ain't all rainbows and unicorns - problems are pervasive for everyone - but I don't think Jews will be warned not to war kippot in the District anytime soon.

I definitely sympathize.
I also sympathize with gays and transgenders who are experiencing an uptick in assaults in the District.
I also sympathize with the homeless who are experiencing an uptick in assaults in the District.
I also sympathize with the residents of Ward 8 who are experiencing an uptick in unemployment and poverty and the accompanying violence that results from those conditions.
Councilmember White may be outright ignorant when it comes to Jews and gays and transgenders and maybe even the homeless throughout the entire city but I give him credit for genuinely caring about his constituents in Ward 8.

Actually, this means that Trayon is even less competent than it seems. Currently, the US is approaching what economists consider full employment level. The unemployment rate among African Americans is at an all-time low. DC's economy is booming, and tax collections are at record levels. The fact that Ward 8 is not participating in much of this reflects how little the council member prioritizes attracting investment, economic development, reducing red tape and emphasizing skills development in his ward. "Genuinely caring" doesn't cut it. And clearly, Trayon genuinely cares more about Minister Farrakhan than actually using his constituent services fund to help... his constituents! (Now there's a novel thought.)

I'm wondering how good it is for the mod to be this personally involved in arguing so vehemently with posters of differing opinions, given his extreme bias and the tools at his disposal - referring to past posts, deleting posts (although he's been good about that on this thread), even outright banning if he so chooses. Just such an unfair fight. Of course, it's his site, but still, it does have a way of driving conservatives away and creating more of a lopsided site. Just saying.

I don’t hear an uproar from any folks in Ward 8 about the $500 so much to your dismay it’s not as much of an issue as you think.

So because the folks in Ward 8 don't care about an illegal donation that makes it acceptable? The people in Ward 8 are not in the position to decide rule of law.
