When you (not NZ) say "people of color" its you who is attributing that belief to the mayor, whereas there is ample evidence that that's not his belief. You chose to use identity politics where in this case, there clearly isn't. This is a socio-economic statement from the mayor, who recognizes that communities can only handle a certain percentage of poor (regardless of color) before it drags down the overall community. And you are lying to yourself and others if you don't recognize that these refugees are dirt poor and 100% dependent upon the community for survival.
Does he not want them there because they are people of color or because they will immediately go on the government teat and drain the city of valuable and finite resources?
@CowboyJD with an unforced "people of color" error allowing the reasonable posters to come to the defense of the the antisemite.
I didn't attribute any belief to the mayor.
I made two factual statements.
Both are true.
And I can't help but notice you studiously avoided NZ references to Jews being the resettlement agency in the context of all his other posts in your evaluation of identity politics.
They sure are focused on the mote in the eye of their opposition rather than the log in eye of the dude they are defending. Those that are gonna defend him are gonna defend him anyway.
I'm just playing NZ's game right now. He was the first to avoid addressing the indisputable facts by screaming identity politics and claiming that I "implied" something I didn't explicitly say. I'm just pointing out information. People can draw whatever conclusion they want.
I'm just pointing out facts, man....not telling anyone what to think.
Kinda like NZ does....except that my two factual statements haven't been refuted as inaccurate.
Not my problem if those facts make you or anyone else uncomfortable or defensive.

My concern would be, why are we receiving "refugees" from Bhutan, an asian country between India and China? Whether they are considered "people of color" or not, I don't care, but why are they getting a free ride here? What great war are they running from? The same questions apply to Eritrea refugees. Why are we taking them in at all?
That's terrible and all but how many millions of Americans are homeless or living in poverty? We have our own homegrown "refugees" that should be taken care of before we allow any more in.
@CowboyPhil Unfortunately our "homegrown refugees" rank very low on the Left's victimization hierarchy. Bonus points are given for non-citizens.
Neither Healthcare Act has to do with intake of Refugees. Also outgoing aid should be reconsidered until we can take care or our own. Yes, that means military aid as well. Just tired of US shipping so many resources out while not taking care of our own. And taking care of our own does not mean handouts or freebies.
It's ironic you mention Eritrea.
Israel is deporting its Eritrean refugees to Uganda and Rwanda (two countries and cultures that are nowhere near Eritrea) -- in exchange for arms and military training.
Compare Eritrea's location on map to Uganda and Rwanda. Deporting Eritreans to those two countries (seemingly as human currency for military arms) seems insanely wicked, insanely calculated or both.
Perhaps you can explain --- and also imagine the media (and left's) reaction if America started deporting illegal Mexicans to Peru (in exchange for Apache helicopters).
I'm not in this pissing match, but Obama was still president when that tweet was sent out. Just saying...
You posted a picture of Netanyahu and Trump in response to NZ's post about Israel shipping refugees out. I was guessing maybe your point was somehow Trump was involved in that. Maybe I read something into your post that wasn't intended?
Can't imagine that many of the frequent posters, on this site, would be upset if the U.S. was sending large numbers of refugees to Uganda/Rwanda, along with arms, as opposed to keeping them within the U.S. Don't we want less refugees in our country?
Ah, there's the NZ that I know and love. Those damn wicked, calculating Jews are at it again.

There have been people here advocating deporting all illegal immigrants to Mexico irrespective of their nationality.
Given your historical looseness with facts, I'm gonna need more than "seemingly as human currency for military arms" before accepting that as anything even remotely accurate.
Israel May Be Trafficking Former Eritrean Slaves.....
"May Be"
Source: http://warisboring.com/israel-could-be-complicit-in-refugees-for-weapons-swap/
"Could be"
So no...this isn't anything more substantial than your prior "seemingly".
Your entire screed basically assumes that what "might be" or "could be"......IS and proceeds accordingly.
EXCELLENT CRITICAL THINKING.
JD, I've read this thread a couple of times now and while I consider myself fairly intelligent I'm lost at how your seeing this as anything but an economic statement by the mayor. Not trying to pick a fight, just not seeing the subliminal messaging you are.
What am I missing?
What am I missing?
Your first mistake was assuming anything about how I'm seeing this. At no point did I say or claim that the Mayor doesn't want them there BECAUSE they are people of color.
I merely made two assertions of fact and let others draw their own conclusions as to what that may mean. Kinda like how how NZ claims he does with the Jews and media control/diversity driving/etc. The difference being my two factual statements are actually accurate....unlike so many of his.

Yep. That's the one.
They are people of color.
He doesn't desire them in his town.
Thus, they are undesirable people of color.
Like I said, I made a factual statement. People chose their own larger implications of those facts how they wanted.
Even tigers are racist.

Can people of color be racists or are white people the only ones who can actually be labeled that way?
It actually says in the Oxford English dictionary that only white people can be "racist" so my hands are tied on this issue.
I did but it said only white Christians could be racist and I thought that went a little too far
