[NYPOST] If there was any doubt before, the gloves are now officially off in the 2021 race to be the next mayor of New York City.
Democratic nominee
Eric Adams
...retired New York City police captain, member of the New York State Senate, first Black Brooklyn borough president, law and order Dem after a brief fling with the Publicans. The New York Times isn't fond of him, suspecting he may not actually be black...
on Tuesday called Republican rival Curtis Sliwa a "racist" — and accused the Guardian Angels founder of turning the general election to succeed a term-limited
Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
into a "circus."
During an interview on WNYC radio, the Brooklyn borough president offered some of his harshest words yet for his Nov. 2 opponent, saying the GOP contender "has been a leading voice of being a racist."
"I dedicated my life as a police officer for 22 years [to] fighting against the
systemic racism
...the idea that the nation is racist to the core, always was, and always will be. 330 million Americans live in Selma, Alabama in 1965, and we're never, ever leaving...
that exists, and just really how we perceive everyday New Yorkers. And so, it’s difficult for Curtis to talk about systemic racism, because he has been a leading voice of being a racist," the former NYPD captain said on "The Brian Lehrer Show," when asked about his perspective on nine FDNY members who were suspended for sending racist messages.
"It’s hard for him to address something that’s systemic, and I’m not afraid to point out where systemic racism exists."
His answer came after Lehrer noted that Sliwa on the same radio show a day earlier characterized the FDNY members as a few bad apples rather than part of a pattern of bigotry.
In response to Adams’ comments, Sliwa fired back with his own allegation Tuesday, saying Adams has a habit of accusing people with whom he has a difference of opinion of being racist.
"This is always his fallback position when he has a disagreement with you: He calls people racist," Sliwa told The Post. "This is all part of the tradition of Eric Adams. If you disagree with Eric Adams, you’re a racist.
"When his back is against the wall, he’s always calling his adversaries racist."
Sliwa cited Adams in January 2020 metaphorically declaring that gentrifiers should "go back" to Iowa and Ohio, as well as the Democrat’s harsh criticism of former primary opponents
Andrew Yang
...Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Unlike most of the other Dem 2020 candidates, he actually did things besides politix in his adult life, which made him political poison. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded Venture for America, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a Champion of Change
and in 2015 as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship
. His signature campaign policy is what he calls the Freedom Dividend
, a form of Universal Basic Income for every American over 18. Yang believes UBI is a necessary response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges. The other two central elements of Yang's platform are Medicare for All and Human-Centered Capitalism.

"I’m just going to join the club," Sliwa said. "When Eric Adams doesn’t like you, he calls you a racist."
Adams in his interview also accused Sliwa of making a mockery of the election.
I am certain you have noticed that Fox News teevee advertising has suddenly gone totally woke. At least 70% of all Fox commercials now feature African American people. Strangely however, the people featured all dress and speak like mid-western white people and possess supervisory or business owner positions. The 'teevee land' houses they live in are single family, upper middle-class in style and neighborhood. The automobiles they drive also reflect white American tastes.
