I had the pleasure of serving under Mayor David Dinkins, He led New York city through turmoil. We New Yorkers are better off that he served. He was the first NYC mayor to graduate from Howard University, an Historically Black university, He stayed with us long enough to see another Howard University grad elected to the the second highest office in the land. He has joined his wife, Joyce, a great First Lady, who left just ahead of him. Well done good and faithful servant. Well Done.

I once joked with David Dinkins that if there is GQ in heaven, it's circulation will increase on his arrival. Goodbye Mr. Mayor.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 10/26/2020 NEW YORK STATE DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN CONDEMNS NEW YORK CITY SERGEANTS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION FOR IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENTS NEW YORK CITY, NY: Jay Jacobs, Chairman of the New York State Democrats, has released the following statement: Sunday’s statements from the Sergeants Benevolent Association that ‘the Democratic Party has abandoned police officers, encouraged violence and lawlessness’ along with stating that ‘People are being murdered in De...mocratic run cities’ is wrong, offensive, provocative, irresponsible and unbecoming of officers sworn to serve and protect the citizens of New York City. It is one thing to hold certain political views and favor a particular candidate for office. That is every citizen’s right. It is quite another to actively and publicly campaign for that candidate while in uniform and on duty. If the SBA doesn’t see anything wrong with that, they have lost all credibility and claim to the use of good judgment. Supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and the overwhelming majority of honorable, decent, courageous, hardworking police is NOT a mutually exclusive exercise. Democrats have always been supportive of law and order so long as it comports with the concept of ‘equal justice under law.’ Taking a knee with peaceful protesters in order to defuse what could have been a volatile situation represents the best of decent, honorable police work. That the leadership of the SBA would compare that to using police equipment to actively campaigning for a candidate for public office demonstrates how disconnected they are from the basic norms of civil society as well as the decency of the members they purport to represent. ### New York State Democratic Committee | [email protected] | 212.725.8825 To Pat Lynch & Ed Mullins: As a long time New York City resident, who has lived in cities as varied as Shanghai, China & Schenectady, NY and a lot in between, the New York City Police Department is one of the finest in the world. I was a college student during the Knapp investigation. One of my class mates and fraternity brothers from New York City pointed out, "Other big city police departments have the same problems, as those raised in NYC, by Detective Frank Serpico, but in NYC they will get addressed. We New Yorkers do not want a Democratic Police Department or a Republican Police Department, We want the outstanding NY Police Department that we have. The Democratic party has not " abandoned police officers, encouraged violence and lawlessness". We all want the same thing. Anyone who fails to realize that is simply making things worse.

which in Mandarin is commonly pronounced nèi ge (NAY-guh) or nà ge (NAH-guh), does not quite sound the same when spoken by a native Mandarin speaker as it did when University of Southern California Marshall School of Business Professor Greg Patton. says it. Over the past twenty-five years that I have spent time in China, I have seen big changes. When I first traveled to Beijing a quarter a century ago, some people looked at me for longer that the two or three seconds that ...one might consider polite. That was true in Beijing, Shanghai & other large cities. In rural areas people might want to talk to me and shake hands or take a picture with me. My "celebrity" has diminished tremendously over the years. I lived in Shanghai, where I worked as a bass player in a jazz band that was mostly Filipino artist. The club where we played had an international clientele. There were always a lot of Black people, mostly Africans, in the audience. I have a number of Black friends who live in China. I never gave a thought to the word which in Mandarin is commonly pronounced nèi ge (NAY-guh) or nà ge (NAH-guh), until today. USC should have used this as a teaching moment. Suspending Prof, Patton was a step too far See more
