[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Philly is going to follow NYC's lead by electing a Black mayor who pledges to be tough on crime. This news should have the Charles Allens and Brianne Nadeaus of the world extremely worried about their futures (I know for a fact that Allen thinks he's going to be DC's mayor in the future and had to be talked out of running last year by people who advised him that he would get embarrassed).

The telling quote from that story about Cherelle Parker, who will be Philly's next mayor:

More broadly, Parker said during the campaign that policy solutions should come from “the community,” not “people thinking they’re coming in to save poor people.”

“They know it’s not Cherelle engaging in what I call ‘I know what’s best for you people’ policymaking, but it’s come from the ground up,” Parker said Tuesday morning at a polling place.[/quote]

It’s sad that instead of saying crime bad safety good we need to engage in all the identity politics thing. If you are X you can’t fight crime; only if you are Y, even if you are simply not effective as a city manager - you are given preference (not talking about her specifically)[/quote]
