Congratulations, Mayor Bracey

York has elected its first black mayor in Kim Bracey. Congratulations to her and to her supporters.

[DARK STAR]

The fact the candidate Is black Is only Important to
the YDR. The truth Is, It's just a continuation of the
failed policies of the master's of disaster where gangs and muggers roam the streets at will all hours. By 2012,
they will need the National Guard. York Pa. as we once
knew It as a clean, quiet, and safe town to raise your family In the 50's Is gone forever. RIP.

Ignorance is a terrible thing,God I pray you help this person that has a small and evil mind.

Crime is all through out York County and it is all types of races etc doing them so,please let your bigot mentality go and realize it is 2009 not 1969.

We will never get beyond the race issue because the YDR wont let us. What is going to happen if the city is in the same mess in 4 years? What will be said? Will it be because the white man kept Mayor Bracey and her administration down? I hope not since she was backed and funded by the white political machine. If the ppl of York and the YDR would have left race alone Bracey still would have won but it would have been upon different merits, NOT RACE! Now the city as a whole looses unless there is a complete and total shift within the community, and with her mentor being Brenner we all know it wont happen.

Mayor Bracey, get Popeye's back.

And you would know, I imagine. Are you one of those York County Park patrollers.

YDR is simply orgasmic that its a she and black. The hell with credentials. Hope the next time a YDR staffer needs an operation they get a black female from the ghetto to play doctor. It will work out, since those are the only credentials that matter

There you go, spouting the truth and upsetting the bedwetters.

Do you get a nice warm feeling saying that "crime is all through York County"? Does is feel good like when you pee in your bed, all nice and warm, only to wake up in the cold and damp? To try and negate what is going on in the city by alluding to "crime everywhere" does no one any good, especially the people who have to live in the hellhole city.

why can't she just be our new mayor? instead of our "new black mayor"?

[Marquis de Lafayette]

1. why always bring up / make race (or sex, creed, etc) a point?.........just fuels prejudice and perpetuates ignorance to the bigger picture of qualifications of ANY candidate
2. there is a LOT of work to do in York City.......residents had better hope that the 'suits & leaders' play well together..........

YDR......try being honest in your trade for a SOLID 4 years and practice the REAL art of journalism - not the faux kind of late........subscriptions and honor are at stake (not to mention your jobs)
