Answering a question about Democratic party mayoral candidate, Bill de Blasio, Bloomberg dipped his gold-toed silk stocking into the deep waters of race and class war.Then theres Bill de Blasio, whos become the Democratic front-runner. He has in some ways been running a class-warfare campaign
Class-warfare and racist.
Racist?
Well, no, no, I mean* hes making an appeal using his family to gain support. I think its pretty obvious to anyone watching what hes been doing. I do not think he himself is racist. Its comparable to me pointing out Im Jewish in attracting the Jewish vote. You tailor messages to your audiences and address issues you think your audience cares about.
Being married to a black woman and having two kids and campaigning as a family is not the same as running around pointing out that youre Jewish. Sorry, Mike.
The de Blaisio Family
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio joined with doctors, nurses, health care workers and activists at a major rally to protest the closure of Long Island College Hospital and Interfaith Medical Center. Seen here with his wife, Chirlane, and kids, Chiara and Dante. Image via Wiki.
So much more here~

He's been waging class warfare for many years and engaging in racist activities as least since he's been mayor.

What does he want him to do hide his family? Doomberg is a racist fuck for even thinking that showing his family in his campaign is racist. is Anthony Wiener racist for putting his Arabic wife in his ads too?
