worst : culture : MAYOR BLOOMBERG UNDER FIRE FOR CALLING ACTIONS OF UNION "THUGGISH", POLITICAL CORRECTIVENESS GONE AWRY AGAIN? [+] serious ballot by Guest From 195.229.25.244 ACTIVE Dec 27,2005 - Sun Sep 21, 08 Associated Press NEW YORK - Four days after the city's transit strike ended, Mayor Michael Bloomberg was still coming under fire for his use of the word "thuggishly" to describe the actions of the leaders of a union that is mostly minority. "Michael Bloomberg, don't be nasty and mean," attorney Norman Siegel said Monday, standing on the steps of City Hall. "Be positive. Together, we can improve race relations in New York." The civil rights attorney noted that more than 70 percent of the Transport Workers Union's 33,000 members are "of color." And while he didn't believe Bloomberg's use of the word was in itself racist, Siegel said, "The perception out there is that it is racist. And the reaction has enormous racial overtones." -------------------------------------- Way to twist your words around, lawyer, that is typical. But why is it that these idiots love to take what someone says, when it has NOTHING to do with racism, and twist it around into a self serving "POOR ME" whining song and dance to get attention from a media that just LOVES to make huge issues about situations that aren't an issue at all. Another case of political correctiveness gone awry, or is this just simply a case of one side (the union) trying to steer attention away from the issues by claiming the mayor is being a racist? Yes, it's PC gone awry YET AGAIN 4 No, it's the union trying to keep from looking at the real issues 0 Ballot #84986: has 4 total votes. invite people to vote on this ballot!
