Mayor Eric Adams Making Chess Moves

[Pioneer1]

How ironic that Adams' "trumped up" charges were DROPPED by Trump....lol.

 

 

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is ditching the Democratic Party as he seeks reelection

 

 

NYC Mayor Eric Adams running for reelection as independent


WISE move Mayor Adams....WISE move!

Remember I called it over a month ago.
I said he was going to leave the Democratic Party.....I said THAT on this very site.
I had been saying off line and online and I MIGHT have said on this site that if he wants to be re-elected he better run as an Independent.
He can't trust the Democratic leadership in New York state, and NYC is too blue to support a Republican mayor (Don't bring up Guliani. He only got elected because he came behind a Black mayor....but that's another conversation).
Independent is the way to go.


Sorry Andy (Cuomo) but you ain't got a chance now since he's gone Independent.
If he had stayed a Democrat, the racist White Democratic leadership wouldn't have supported him.  They would back Cuomo or someone else instead.
But now that he's Independent....he's free to get support from whoever wants to.
He's probably going to be endorsed by Donald Trump....which is probably why he went Independent in the first place.

 

Does anybody else remember when I also said that if Trump, Musk, and the rest of the boys were wise....they'd not only get those charges dropped but also keep him as Mayor of New York so he can hold things down as a flunky for the Trump Administration?
And look at what's happening!

I am in no way endorsing Trump, Musk, or the Republican platform.
But I am supporting  a professional Black man who has been a victim of "trumped up" (trump dropped???) charges and an attempt by his own party to strip him of his duly elected powers.
The Democrat racists wanted to strip him of his Mayor's office and toss him in jail.
Trump and the Republicans saved him and wants to install him as  one of "their own" flunkies.

If I just HAVE to choose between 2 racists....I'll choose the one who is going to help me the most and harm me the least. 

I'm so proud of my brutha that he made this decision.
 

[ProfD]

@Pioneer1, you called it that Mayor Eric Adams should move away from the Democratic party.

 

I don't think Mayor Adams had any other choice considering the Democrats turned against him because he wouldn't embrace illegal immigrants being dumped in NYC.

 

Running as an Independent candidate allows Mayor Adams to pull voters from both parties.

 

Let's see if POTUS OJ endorses Mayor Adams for re-election and if Musk puts that bread behind his re-election campaign. 

 

The GOP, POTUS OJ and Musk just took an L in that Wisconsin Supreme Court race after spending over 20 million dollars.

 

Former governor Andrew Cuomo will be very hard to beat especially if New Yorkers forgive his pandemic response and the scandal that ran him out of office.

 

The NYC mayoral race could shape up to be a heavyweight title fight.

Ah, that doesn't fade Musk and 'em....lol.

He just BOUGHT a fucking President and got him doing his bidding for him and running the world the way he wants it....so he's not going to let the losses in a few states stop him.
They're looking at the bigger over-all picture.

You win some...you lose some....but as long as you count more wins than losses!

Right. Winning NYC in one way or another would be huge in the big picture. They've definitely got an uphill battle there.

I'm not a New Yorker but I want him to stay in that seat.
Not for Musk/Trump and the boys....but as an example of how Black men should side with the White folks who look out for THEM in action, not just talk.

There's a LESSON to be learned by Adams' remaining in that office.
It will teach other Black youth and Black politicians how they should move.

The thing about Trump is....much of the time he backs his words up with ACTION.
He SAYS he's going to do AB&C and actually tries to do it....unless somebody stops him.

Which means if you do his bidding....he usually will look out for you.
Even if he's racist and wants you to help him do something unethical.....he's not likely to abandon you like the Democrats have a history of doing with their Black politicians.

Again, no racists is very "good" for us; but often times it's a matter of choosing the LESSER of two evils if you just HAVE to choose.

Most of that "peace and love" talk a lot of the Democrats and Liberals don't mean a damn thing if they aren't providing TANGIBLE BENEFITS and helping their Black comrades out in their times of need.

I'd rather choose the racist who:
1. Keeps his word MOST of the time
and
2. Atleast promises me something and delivers on that promise if I do his bidding.

Mayor Eric Adams getting re-elected would be win for him. It will do nothing to improve the overall perception of Black men.  In other words, his Chess move isn't a checkmate.

POTUS Oj is playing Chess with a whole board full of power pieces. White privilege, patriarchy and sunpremacy are just a few pieces working in his favor.

 

There's no Black man on the planet with a fraction of that kind of power. We have not seized it.

Reads like you have accepted that racism should exist or at a minimum, people should be comfortable with it on some level.

 

Human being should not have to choose the lesser of two evils when it comes to racism. 

 

I will never accept the system of racism white supremacy.

 

I will never accept that humans should oppress each other.

 

There's a huge difference between oppression and positive leadership. Peace and happiness or the lack therof is usally a telltale sign.

Well remember what I say from time to time about these Black politicians.....

Even if they don't do anything FOR the rest of us, if they don't do any harm...them just being IN OFFICE is a micro-win for our people albeit at an individual level, lol.

 

However I DO believe Adams staying in that seat would be a good lesson to those Black politicians who are observant.
The lesson being....be loyal to those who help you, not simply because of party affiliation.

 

Although Trump hasn't done anything for AfroAmericans as a whole (yet...lol) he HAS helped out a lot of AfroAmericans individually.

 

 

 

 

 

Reads like you have accepted that racism should exist or at a minimum, people should be comfortable with it on some level.

 

Do our people have a CHOICE?

If we have a choice, let's exercise our options and hurry up and GET FREE of this system!

"should not" is the operative phrase.

 

 

 

I will never accept the system of racism white supremacy.

 

And you don't have to.
When you LEAVE it and find another one that's better, I'll give you my number so you can text me the information I need to exit out of this mug and join you so we can BOTH live in a system of peace and prosperity absent of White racism.

When are you going, btw???

 

 

 

 

I will never accept that humans should oppress each other.

And if you don't want to.....you shouldn't!

It's already been proven several times over that Black folks can hold public offices.  Winning is easy.  Being effective takes it to another level.

A supposed billionaire will enrich others unintentionally. 

 

Their lips still look greasy from eating butter biscuits, yet, Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Byron Donalds didn't get positions anywhere in the POTUS OJ administration.  Not even chief janitor or head butler at the White House.

 

Rep. Donalds is running for governor of Florida.  Let's see if POTUS OJ endorses and his sidekick puts up money for him to win.

It appears that most of our people have accepted the system in one way or another.

 

The only real choice is being able to move away from it.  That doesn't necessarily mean leaving the country.  Just a matter of finding the *right* spot.

It depends on the goal.
If the goal of the average Black politician is a fat pay check and good health insurance...then they ARE being effective, lol.

Facts.

The old "swith-a-roo" may work once you get IN office but you can't turn Independent and expect for the party who helped you get in or even those same partisan VOTERS who voted for you originally...to vote you back in come election day.

 

INTELLIGENT voters will see what you've done during your term in office and continue to support or NOT support you based on your accomplishments but some voters....like those "vote blue no matter who" voters...don't care what you say or do.
If you don't have that R. or D. next to your name...they ain't voting for you.

Neely Fuller Jr. used to say WHERE you gonna go to escape the system of racism?
They control most of the planet.

They're even sending people on to the moon and Mars to control that.
Rovers and shit...lol.

Where can you go to escape their power?

[Croocked T]

It’s crazy how politicians play the game. Sure, Adams moving independent could help him, but at the end of the day, it’s not about the system improving, it’s about him staying in power. The real question is: Do Black politicians ever get to choose real change, or are they just navigating the system that’s built to hold them back?

EXCELLENT QUESTION

I think that was a very articulated and profound question because it helps to explain my position and thoughts on what Black politicians SHOULD be doing.

If they just WON'T or CAN'T tear down the System or Racism, then perhaps the next best thing TO do is try to navigate in it the best way you can.
What other choice do you have?

You can't say you want no part in such an evil system because as long as you live in this country you're IN the system anyway.
So now that you're IN it...it's a matter of what position you choose to be WHILE you're in it.

If you are a prison inmate:
Is there more honor sleeping on the floor in "the hole" or solitary confinement than there is walking around as a trustee sleeping on a nice bed and eating what you want when you want?

If you're GOING to be an inmate and can't get out, might as well have the best and most comfortable position available to you.

Or a pretty strong mouthpiece.
Sometimes if you can properly and effectively articulate and SELL yourself and your vision to our people, they will support YOU not only politically but financially as well.

But you have to show them what's in it for THEM, and not just you. 

 

They're not the dominant population everywhere on the planet. 

 

No, but they RUN/MANAGE much of the planet.
And if we're talking directly and INdirectly....MOST of the planet.

 

Even the so-called people of color like the Asians and most Latinos share a White racist mindset which is generally anti-Black.
The mindset for much of them is: The closer you are to looking and behaving White, the better you are.

I've said many times that some of these Asians are more "White acting" than White people THEMSELVES!
They've picked up and carried torches that White folks have dropped decades ago.

 

 

 

Even if it's just a matter of getting away crooked law enforcement and racists folks and mass shooters, that's a start.

Obviously you aren't going to Europe or Canada if you're trying to get away from racism.
Not sure where you're trying to go  but I KNOW you ain't talking about going to Latin America, Africa, India, or the Middle East trying to get away from violence and corrupt law enforcement....lol.

 

The late great comedian Robin Harris would stand on stage with a microphone in his hand and say:  

 

 

"Heh heh heh
I KNOW you ain't trying to do that shit!
Heh heh...shiii...you KNOW better than that!"

As groups, we should be buying up land in Africa left and right and developing it and building industry on it.
Not just to employ Africans but to employ OURSELVES too.

We can do a little bit of both simultaneously 
But as I said in the other thread, it's not for everybody to do.

Interestingly, since freed slaves were sent back to Africa, Black folks havent followed up on the Liberia experiment.

 

Of course, Liberia has its share of problems with that situation too.  Program got f8cked up.

Liberia would be an EXCELLENT study for FBA scholars just to just dive into what really happened.

That's easy. The natives didn't appreciate being colonized.

 

The freed slaves came with the *wrong* attitude. Partially because they were dumped into an African country.

 

All skinfolk ain't kinfolk.

[Pioneer1]

This is why I wouldn't have tried to colonized the people.
I would just buy some LAND and cultivate it.

The problem is, if the natives SEE that your land is doing good and prosperous...they're going to be crossing over to it on bikes and scooters and shit.
Some will turn to out right squatting on it, others you have to drive away and build walls to keep out.

Like my man said in Black Pather when him and Prince Ta'Challa were out walking and talking,
When Ta'Challa suggested that maybe Wakanda should start bringing in refugees to help the world....
He said that when the refugees come in....their PROBLEMS come in with them.

As a foreigner, they don't see the land as being yours unless there is a sanctioned agreement. The leadership would have to approve it.
