The DC Council will not reprimand White:

"The D.C. Council will not reprimand member Trayon White (D-Ward 8), after he donated $500 from his constituent services fund to a Chicago event where Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan denounced Jews, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) said Monday."
...

"Both Cheh and Evans dialed back their calls for action. Cheh said the council needs to make 'some kind of statement' condemning anti-Semitism and disavowing White’s financial support for Farrakhan, but wouldn’t commit to formal action. Evans said he no longer supports punishment after speaking with White for a half hour on Sunday."

"We need to kind of ratchet down the rhetoric, and all parties involved need to understand each other and really increase the dialogue going forward," Evans said.

So, I guess now Evan's is also an anti-Semite since he has the same position as me.

Wow, I'm kind of surprised to read this. Unfortunately, I think it's only a matter of time before White reveals more and more of his inner thoughts and beliefs and it won't be pretty. [/quote]
It's sad that there is such a high level of acceptance of antisemitism  among the DC council. The message is that antisemtism is "no big deal" compared to other forms of bigotry, which speaks volumes. Still, someone with engrained antisemtic beliefs will soon, as you say, reveal his inner thoughts again.
