Although this blog has been downsizing our political staff, and concentrating on our history bureau, a current story is too ironic to ignore.
Self proclaimed local Democrat leader Mark Pinsley was reprimanded in a wokefest by his elected peers for using the word ghetto, while complaining about the new redistricting plan in Harrisburg. In trying to explain away his indiscretion, he babbled about being Jewish and the Warsaw Ghetto. I learned about his faux pas from the WFMZ news site. His promoters, aka Morning Call editorial staff, made sure that the story didn't appear on their pages. Expect the paper to shortly host a damage control editorial by Pinsley.
Although Lehigh Valley's rich history continues to be our current focus, resources will be assigned to monitor Minority Opportunity Zone eggshell walking contests.
UPDATE JANUARY 18, 2022: A Morning Call article on January 8th featuring Lisa Boscola's comments on the new mapping, did mention Pinsley's ghetto comment toward the end of the article.
I thought his comment was very revealing. His attempt to explain his use of the word only dug the hole deeper. It is always amusing to see woke progressives hoisted on their own petard.
ReplyDeleteI saw it as Comrade Pinsley making his views public.
