Anti-Semitic Comments from Trayon White

[Anonymous]

Thus far, it seems that the antisemitic Democrats are almost exclusively black, and there are numerous examples. They of all people should understand the damage that comes from denigrating an entire people/race/religion, and yet they are advancing bigotry against Jews. I find it beyond ironic - I find it appalling.

If you only focus on the anti-Semitic aspects of White's remarks, you are missing half the picture (and, arguably, the larger half). He espoused a conspiracy theory that is stupid beyond belief. It would have been no less stupid if he had accused Barack Obama of controlling the weather. The anti-Semitism was simply the icing on the cake, but the cake itself was disqualifying. If you focus on the bigger picture, this may be less likely to provoke an anti-Semitic backlash (from any quarter, not just the left).

I don't think we should "soft pedal" the antisemitism, and instead focus more on the stupidity, in an effort to suppress a backlash against Jews for complaining about it. That's because stupidity alone is not disqualifying to hold office, but blatant antisemitism is (or should be). This guy has got to go.

White should resign and Nadeau, too. Dumb and dumber - inexcusable!. This is shameful prejudice and ignorance and shameful liberal excuses for it.

What? Shame on all of them who said nothing: Nadeau, Grosso, Silverman, Mendelssohn.... what embarrassments they are

I wonder if people would be reacting differently if this was a white male councilmember...

Yes.

We would be calling him a racist and a disgrace and demanding immediate resignation.

But he's black, so he will stay in place and be reelected and in due time he will get a statue.

Long live racism and double standards.

THIS. He needs to be removed. What an idiot.

I hope so. If he made such a ridiculous comment about another minority, he would have been gone immediately. I emailed the mayor and council person. Anyone else take action?

Yes. Whenever there's doubt as to whether a statement made against Jews is racist, simply substitute another minority that Democrats proudly (and rightly) protect. What if a white guy said that the blacks control the weather so it would benefit them by .........whatever. He would be out of a job by the end of the day.

Just out of curiosity, do you find it more or less appalling when Conservative whites rally and chant, “Jews will not replace us”?

More appalling! And they are not “conservative whites”, they are Nazis. But White should still resign!

Just out of curiosity, what do you think of Marion Barry, Louis Farrakhan and Trayon White?

That’s cool I was just curious.
And I’d rather he be gone too but for different reasons - that weather control nonsense is the disqualifier for me.

I think 2 out of 3 know/(knew) better than to believe in weather control conspiracies.

DC's budget has been in the black for almost 20 years. We have a budget surplus and "rainy day" fund that most jurisdictions drool over.

Yes, there are issues, and we are working on it.

The finances are that way in spite of, not because of, the council. It's all the millenials moving in, and they don't mind the dysfunction in schools and hospitals since they don't really use them.

Too bad the cowards in Congress won’t permit DC to levy a commuter tax. Residents of NJ and Connecticut working in New York pay taxes in NY. Instead, Ward 9 sends their kids to DCPS and DC charters, which have some of the highest performing students in the nation.

Yep and the brilliant Secretary of Education is working hard to expand that lovely trend to not just parents in Ward 9 but those in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon, and Prince William counties along with Montgomery, Charles, Frederick, and St Mary’s counties...oh it’s going to be so great!!

So you're saying the antisemitism alone wouldn't be enough to disqualify him? Antisemitism is acceptable, but stupidity is not?
