Election

Yesterday, Tuesday was election day. We voted. We, in New York were electing a new mayor. The two leading candidates were Eric Adams a democrat African American, and Curtis Sliwa a republican known for as the founder of the Guardian Angels group.

Since Biden's election we were leaning towards the republican candidates whenever it was possible. Unfortunately, our candidate did not win. Adams will be the second black mayor of New York in its history. The first was David Dinkins who. thankfully, served only one term and did not enjoy great popularity. It looks like blacks are coming in major offices. Manhattan district attorney will be a black person (the first in that office). New York City public advocate is African American as well as the current state attorney general who just announced that she has her eyes on the governor's position next year, New York City's health commissioner is a black doctor. 

It looks like pretty soon, being white will be a disadvantage in New York. The current mayor Bill DeBlasio, is of Italian origin with an African American wife, is finishing his second term and currently not enjoying great popularity amongst New Yorkers, even though he is a democrat in a democratic city. People actually can't wait for him to leave. It is very funny that it was announced that DeBlasio who came from Brooklyn where he owned his house immediately after January 1 will move to Cambridge , Massachusetts. I guess he thinks there he will be liked. Maybe he will run for dogcatcher that way he can stay in public service.

I don't have anything against blacks. I just don't like the attitude some of them have when confronted with whites or any other race. I lived through a system that was built on race discrimination and I will be damned if I will let anybody treat me as a second class citizen, again!                                               

Let's just wait and see what is ahead of us.
