    It’s surprising to me how often high profile Democrats, who really should know better, make racially stereotyped comments like this.

      Not surprising at all if you’re familiar with the state. I’ve got family from NYC who are very staunch Democrats and extremely racist.

      Remember that Donny from Queens was a staunch Democrat all through the 80s and 90s.

        Donnie was only a “staunch” Democrat because he was playing to the local crowd. Was he ever a true Democrat? Did he ever care about any of the traditional issues? No chance.

        Like Bloomberg they’re just Dem to fit in and not be ostracized. All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.
