Public-advocate candidate Bill de Blasio has outraged black politicians and many of his own constituents by sending targeted mailings to African-American neighborhoods featuring pictures of his interracial family, sources told The Post.
Most of the ads mailed to predominantly white areas had no pictures or just showed photos of the candidate, the sources said.
“The insulting part of it is that if you want to appeal to the black community, then appeal to us based upon our issues, not based upon who you’re married to,” said City Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn).
De Blasio, whose campaign denied ethnic targeting, is a councilman who represents central Brooklyn. He’s white and his wife, Chirlane, is black.
Up to six of his mailers showcased Chirlane. At least one featured photos of their two children, a 14-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy.

Another has a message from his wife simply saying, “He gets it.”
“This is the one I’ve heard so many black women complain about,” said one source.
“The implication is he’s married to a black woman so he ‘gets us.’”

Still, sources told The Post that many politicians, including some who have supported de Blasio’s bid in the four-way Democratic primary to succeed Betsy Gotbaum, were highly offended by the mailer.

A resident of de Blasio’s district who got the family pictures, said, “Bill is well liked in the black community, but has now gone too far and with too much.”

Whatever whites do, blacks will complain.
If this guy had not featured his family in his ads blacks would claim he was ashamed of them and was hiding them from the voters.
Since he did include his family the blacks whine that he’s exploiting them.
“Ads mailed to predominately White areas had no pictures…”
Sources told The Post that many politicians, including some who have supported de Blasio’s bid in the four-way Democratic primary… were highly offended by the mailer. “The insulting part of it is that if you want to appeal to the black community, then appeal to us based upon our issues, not based upon who you’re married to,” said City Councilman Charles Barron.
Come on, this is funny! Sometimes you have to stop and laugh! He is trying soooo hard. “Look”, he’s saying. I know their secret handshakes, I speak their language. I know their catch phrases and I buy their rap records off their blankets on 34th street. I love ‘em so much I’ll even marry them. And I have so much love I have to tell the world! I love them more than they love themselves! So vote for me!”
Whites are insulted that Candidate has a Black wife. There, I turned it around.
What a silly ‘try-hard’ this bloke is!
“He gets it?” Naaa, “He’s got one!”
“Hmmm. I wonder if there’s more to the story. Usually, blacks would be tickled pink (well, black) by something like this.”
-To #3 Anonymous - Black men are not tickled pink when a White man appropriates one of “their” women. Also White women are not pleased to see a White man like this with a Black woman; and she doesn’t even appear to be a mulatto. She’s very Black.
I think his wife put him up to this stunt. White males and black female couples usually consist of a weak minded white male who hates white women/white culture. His wife looks like a black male in drag. There are an unattractive couple and will have to try somthing new…

Issues? Issues!!! Give me a break! Blacks vote color first and last. Not even the most delusional white liberal would waste his time running for mayor of Detroit.
I have a hard time taking the part of a White man so deracinated that he murders his ancestors by polluting his genetic heritage. He’s not a victim, he’s a criminal. His children aren’t European, so he’s creating more Africans. That can’t be a good thing for our Civilization.
Someone who is not a New Yorker might not realize how far out and thuggish the Charles Barron mentioned in the news story is. A good start on understanding this guy is in this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Barron
Last Summer I worked at a factory staffed primarily by blacks and I asked several of them why they consider obama black rather than white and the answer in every case was that he married a black woman and that makes him black.
What is this special thing that the white race does not “get” ?
I think I know why blacks are upset about the whole thing. It was a very poor choice of words. A message from his wife saying “he gets it” sounds like an in your face sexual innuendo. If this were distributed in my White neighborhood I would be disgusted by it and given her looks, I would wonder how he keeps it up.
Barron received a certain amount of notoriety for a remark he made during a 2002 reparations rally: “I want to go up to the closest white person and say, ‘You can’t understand this, it’s a black thing’… and then slap him, just for my mental health.”
He has also shown support for Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, calling him a “Humanitarian”.
Barron was host to Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, who came to the United States and spoke on the steps of City Hall. Mugabe’s action of removing white farmers from Zimbabwe’s farms was blamed by the United Nations for lowering corn production by 70%. Mugabe is often considered a dictator by much of the West, but was praised at the event with cheers by the black audience.
He has often spoken against police brutality, saying that crime is not the fault of the black community. consistency [sic … I’m sure he meant ‘constituency’] will win in the future because of changing demographics. When asked about a mayoral run in 2002, he said he believed that it would be very possible because New York City’s population would be predominantly black and Latino. He maintains that the “browning of America” will change the United States drastically and will be a threat to white Americans, who will have fewer socio-economic advantages to keep themselves as the dominant force of American society.
These race-obsessed fanatics are the thuggish “represenatatives” that blacks, when given the chance, adulate and elect to office. This is the black version of “democracy”!
However, I loved this: Barron has long criticized the statue of Thomas Jefferson in the City Council chamber, which he claims represents a “white, slave-owning pedophile.” However, when he criticized the new speaker for the Council, Christine Quinn, his seat was changed to one next to the statue, which was seen as a punishment.

Barry married an “angry” black woman, even more important to black people - if you’re not a mad, entitled, activist, anti-White/American then you are not black. Infantile logic…

12 Anon and Westerner:
I am of the belief that part of the reason why the person of Barack H. Obama, Jr. married the former Michelle Robinson, outside of true love and affection, is that he needed lay down some roots in Chicago to grease the skids for his political career. It took him a long time and a lot of dues-paying to show the “brothers” that he was “keepin’ it real.” After all, it was only a few years before he met Michelle R. that white conservative Harvard Law School students backed Obama as a consensus candidate to be the Editor of the Harvard Law Review. That had to be an embarrassment to Obama that he wanted to live down, as he was planning to unseat Booby Rush in Congress.
For some reason, I’m remembering an old comedy LP that I once owned by the comedian Redd Foxx, who was pretty funny. He had two very great lines on that album that I laughed really hard over, and they went something like this:
Redd Foxx: If you ever see me with a white women, you can bet that I’m holding her for the police.
Redd Foxx: When I turn back the sheets, I want to see a black lady staring back at me, not a white chick who you can’t see in dark against those white sheets!
Black comedians like Foxx and Cosby - seemed to grasp the offensive nature of making jokes about race mixing, and toed the line that they knew would win the respect of white audiences.
You know what? I really miss that kind of cross-racial respect, and when it ended, I think that set this country on a course for a certain collapse.
After all, making jokes about genocide aren’t really all that funny.
“Black comedians like Foxx … seemed to grasp the offensive nature of making jokes about race mixing” — Luke
As often seems the case, many of the nearest-to-white are the ones who bash whites the most. (Rev. Wright, Malcolm X, etc.)
Well said, Mr. DiMaggio! The sicko is an enemy of civilization & freedom who should be brought to justice.
“I have a hard time taking the part of a White man so deracinated that he murders his ancestors by polluting his genetic heritage. He’s not a victim, he’s a criminal. His children aren’t European, so he’s creating more Africans. That can’t be a good thing for our Civilization.”
Thank you , thank you, and thank you! It is time for the white men on here to stop finger pointing at their own women when it comes to race mixing. White men are already more guilty of this when it comes to mixing with Asians and hispanics. And now I am hearing about more and more exponentially increasing cases of white men with black women.
In Obama’s America (as the current mess is often called on CNN), I guess we will soon be seeing a flier with a White male politician with his Black husband, saying «he’s got it» or something similar…
Strange, strange days indeed.
