Every time I hear her speak about our mayor on her radio show, she just gives him a verbal smackdown. She keeps saying that his city council votes went with KK's leanings 90% of the time. Playing the devil's advocate game, I wonder if 90% of the decisions KK made were good ones, and it was just the 10% that got him in big trouble. I'd also argue that at least Cockrel had the good sense to change his mind about KK, unlike some of other people on the council. Anybody have insight into Gaddis' feelings about Cockrel? | ||

Gaddis is a Freman Hendrix supporter, plain and simple, at least last election. She was at events, she MC'd events - so it doesn't surprise me she doesn't like Ken Cockrel. She's probably still allied with Hendrix. Always look to history for an indication of the future... | ||

Lodgedodger,you know perfectly well what a Sambo is. And to answer who I am, I'm someone who will be moving from this miserable place soon. (Message edited by Westsiiiide on October 12, 2008) | ||

Actually, no, I don't. All those referred to as "Sambos" in previous posts are black. Perhaps you would find more of your "type" of poster in the Freep forums. They're really quick to jump to conclusions, cast aspersions on people's characters, and attack those who have differing ideas. I won't be responding to you again.

Some links, to answer your question, Lodgedodger. Call'em out Coalition: http://members.aol.com/__121b_ H5v084PtUJi9KuRfUsH+mB/OA1/eWr 0PJFtmhlWASmw= Wikipdia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S ambo_(ethnic_slur) In short, a sellout who doesn't put the "black communities" interests first, in the opinion of the group, and getting a Sambo award is sort of like being cast outside the community by that group that hands out the Sambo award. Many times, people are given awards for "serving Massa." Some Sambo Award recipients/nominees you may know are Dennis Archer, Ken Cockrel, Dave Bing, Freman Hendrix, Buzz Thomas, Alonzo Bates, Kwame Kilpatrick and Butch Hollowell. | ||

Wow, that Call 'Em Out Coalition seems vicious. Why can't we just put the interests of the people first? Forget about color. That is the problem with this city. STOP thinking in terms of color! As far as the term, Sambo, is concerned, that's cruel. Sounds as if the folks handing out the award are vindictive and mean. Almost an 'our way or the highway' mentality. Thank you, Digital. *hug* | ||

Lodgedodger, That, in a nutshell, is a big reason the Detroit Region is the way it is. All sides of the divide (there's not just two) not being able to put down their weapons of mass distraction. | ||

"What is a Sambo, if you don't mind my asking?" According to these "Call 'em out" idiots, a Sambo is any black person who: 1. Speaks the King's English. 2. Doesn't embrace the "gangsta" hip-hop mentality. 3. Criticizes a fellow black person -- no matter how warranted the criticism. 4. Doesn't constantly complain about "whitey" keeping the "black man" down. To morons like the Call 'Em Out Coalition, if a black person carries himself with quiet dignity, and spends more time working and achieving instead of complaining, that means he's an Uncle Tom who has "sold out."

Sad. Here we have a guy who has his heart into putting the city in order, and he's being slammed. I am so sick of this crap. |
