Eric Adams on Racial Profiling and Black Political Leadership
At a press conference yesterday about racial profiling, State Senator Eric Adams said he thought that if Barack Obama, David Paterson or Malcolm Smith "were sitting in a vehicle in South Jamaica, Queens," they could find themselves victims of racial profiling, like Sean Bell and his friends allegedly were.
After the press conference, I asked Adams to elaborate on what he thinks of the prospect of having Paterson, Smith and Obama (particularly if he becomes president) in positions of prominence.
“I think better of New Yorkers and the country," he told me. "We’ve had all white officials and no one said, ‘Well, it’s time to put a black or Asian or Hispanic.’ It’s what’s the best for New York City."
Adams is also supporting Bill Thompson for mayor, meaning that if his candidate wins, New Yorkers could have African Americans as their mayor, governor and president simultaneously. "I think that it just so happens that Bill Thompson is my candidate for mayor," Adams said, explaining that race wasn't the reason for his choice. "I think he’ll be the best for New York City.”
Let me see.................Patterson, Smith and Thompson..........sounds like great men to me.
Of course if Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, Governor David Patterson, Comptroller Bill Thompson, Council Member Malcolm Smith, Senator Eric Adams or ANY black person in a prominent or high profile position can be a victim of racial profiling. The only element that's needed is if they're black & not recognized! All non-white/African-Americans are potential targets for Police Brutality, Corruption and other negative targetting especially. Unfortunately some prejudiced and racist people follow groups like the K.K.K., Skinheads and other White Supremacists are bent on their ignorant & racist way of thinking while doing their best to keep the great United States divided and ununited as much as possible. Those that are inspired by them need to know God and get their acts together. God doesn't like ugly. We are ALL God's children. We ARE all one people.............God's people!

We, the people are seeking to elect public officials that will represent the people, and not just the donors who can afford to buy in...it's called government by the people for the people, and its as radical idea now as it was when it was first born, do you remember? Please don't ever forget. So, that government for the people, by the people shall never perish from the earth.
