We would like every Democrat to watch this interview of the Westchester Democratic Chairman Reginald LaFayette. When many Democrats are fighting for social justice our own chairman is the invisible hand, keeping us from our goals.
When Blacks are shot and killed and families ask for an Independent Investigator, Lafayette is against it. Is this why Mr. Lafayette has been a no show at rallies and forums on police and community relations throughout Westchester? Since the killing of Mt. Vernon Detective Christopher Ridley, Mr. Lafayette has defended the actions of Democratic District Attorney Janet Difiore buffoonery and selective prosecution of black, brown and poor people of Westchester County.
" Right now there are people in this nation who don't know how they're going to pay for tomorrow's dinner, let alone next month's rent , she said, A raise of the federal minimum wage is one of those common-sense proposals that is both good for the economy and good for the country. Considering there has not been an increase since July 2009, workers who depend on these wages have been losing income to inflation for over four years. A raise is long overdue ."
After the highly publicized federal desegregation case against the county government and a federal judges ruled that Westchester was segregated, when Lafayette is asked is Westchester segregated he responds, 'No people segregate themselves. When question about the homeless in Westchester, Lafayette does not believe its that high. When questioned on addressing the injustices in Westchester, Mr. Lafayette claims he has been around. Where has Mr. Lafayette been? What injustices has he stood up for?
As Democrats we have witnessed the Wizard from behind the curtain and those that actually believed our Chairman believed in the same values that we have been marching, rallying and meeting for; if you believe it now, you are clearly living in his manufactured Oz!
