Don Samuels will probably get the DFL endorsement, and Robert
Lillegren is a shoe-in. Don will easily end Natalie Johnson-Lee's
undistinguished Council tenure and we have plenty of qualified DFLers
of color waiting in the wings in the 6th Ward.

Keith says (10/2003); Sadly you are handicapping the outcome of a Council
race brought
about by DFL induced Gerrymeandering of ward lines.
The hyperconcentration of poor blacks, and the only two CMs of color, in the
"new" 5th Ward is the defining "DFL Connection to Institutionalized Racism in
Minneapolis."
Similar to the 'ol free-for-all' when the massa blindfolded a bunch of young
blacks and turned them loose to fight to the last one standing. All for some
petty reward from the White man's hand. In this case a seat at the White/DFL
dominated Council table.
As for Dyna's cheering the DFL it moves me to repeat Jim Mork's gratuity:
"The most abject slave is allowed to wave the imperial flag and cry 'Hail
Caesar' as the tyrant passes by." Anonymous
