In reply to the discussion: RAHM EMANUEL TOPS CHUY GARCIA FOR CHICAGO MAYOR [View all]polynomial
(750 posts)A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I lived in Chicago, was born on the south side near back of the yards. Now in a suburb, but always tracking the business and politics.
This was a kind election on both sides, however, from my view it was theater. This guy Jesus Chuy Garcia was given center stage for the electorate audience, and an electoral test.
My personal opinion is that Mr. Garcia should have used his Commissioner status as his nickname rather than Chuy. What the heck is a Chuy by Hispanic definition, the diminutive of Jesus, a huge cultural error.
Or is that the star wars Chewbacca we all know? Having the name Jesus Chuy is very out of the normal common sense combination. The Republican red carpet Hollywood would have had a field day. Chicago would have gone Republican
half the population is not stupid but they are driven by commercials that lie.
Wikipedia illustrates Rahms character as very Jewish. Now for the first time A Jewish man to lead in Chicago, from my view he has a lot of moxie to turn down fifty schools predominately in Black or Hispanic areas. Actually more schools need to be scratched, because they are way under standards. It is difficult for the Black or Hispanic community to accept that, but I think it is true.
The Daily family gave Jessie Jackson Sr. and Jr. a good chance to do something over the decades, however They failed with a lot of Black representatives that resist being honest.
