[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trayon White speaks for and is representative of the majority of Ward 8 residents.

Many, if not most, would agree with him more or less on the things he's said recently.

They're certainly not going to condemn him for it.

Let it go. [/quote]

Would you say the same if a Southern rural Mayor were being condemned for making racist comments?  The majority of his constituents probably would agree with what he said.

Do you believe that racist/anti-semitic/sexist/etc comments are ok as long as the majority of the speaker's constituents agree with those views?  What about Trump?  Most Americans don't agree with a lot of his more extreme views, but if a majority of his supporters do, does that make it ok?[/quote]
+ 1 And this is still another example of the double standard. Jews are asked to "let it go," whereas the same would not be expected of other minority groups. Still comes back to saying, basically, that antisemtism isn't as bad (or important) as other ".isms." [/quote]

When you attack him, you just reinforce the stereotype that his constituents already believe, and in so doing, you make him stronger and more credible to the people who voted for him in the first place.

You're supposed to be smart enough to figure this sort of thing out on your own. [/quote]
