What total, utter nonsense. It is others who are making an issue out of this, and have even called for Idsinga's removal. It was the Reflector's lead story in last weeks paper, and there are two LTTE in this week's Reflector.
But yet I'm the one who has made an issue out of this by commenting on what others have started? Logic is not your strong point now is it? Leftist's brains are definitely wired differently. (funny how wired and weird both use the same letters).
As I've said before, there is really no point in engaging you. And one other on here I might add.
Good point Hawkeye, and you will note that Idsinga is not alleged to have said "blacks". Only that "there are streets in North Portland where white people aren't welcome."
It was nail who brought up "the black population" @8:56 a.m.
So why are there some who now want him removed from his position over this? Double standard anyone?

I have no doubt that blacks or other non-whites, feel unsafe or unwanted in certain white areas. Nor should they be chastised for saying so. So should Idsinga be berated for what he apparently said?
You do understand the term "politically correct" do you not? It seems to be right up your alley.
Oh, BTW:
> Maybe it's a matter of what people find important, and wondering what reasons why you and others would seek to pursue this matter. -- nail
I also wonder why there are those who have made an issue out of this in the first place, which was my point. I'm sure that's what you meant now isn't it?
So I guess no one besides Hawkeye wants to discuss the politically correct berating that Mr.Idsinga is taking over making what, apparently, is a truthful statement. OK.
HC, you have repeatedly advocated for high population density, except for yourself and your five acres of course. Now you’re ridiculing the apartment construction, which was all about the Growth Management Act. You remember, to prevent urban sprawl which you ranted about the other day. What’s going in here bud? Sort of like how you’re a Libertarian, except when you’re a Totalitarian. Wow. Like I’ve said before, it’s kinda hard to know if you’re serious or just playin around, but I fear it’s the former.
Here’s a recent story in the Reflector, that falls under the issue of politically correct.
Here’s the alleged offensive statement made by school board member/president J.Idsinga at some meeting of the Battle Ground City Council over the CRC issue:
> One person in attendance at the meeting told The Reflector that Idsinga spoke in opposition of the extension of light rail from Portland to Vancouver because there are streets in North Portland where white people aren’t welcome. When asked, Idsinga refused to re-visit his comments.
Really? So here’s my question – is the statement incorrect? Anyone?

I once gave my reasons for opposing the death penalty and you agreed with me. What's going on here? Well, I guess we're all allowed to change our minds.
