@MollyMaggie : But who votes for these old white guys? I wanted Andre Allen and Aaron Chess on the council. I liked their ideas, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So, I'm not sexist, I voted for Rita Ali, too. I didn't think the other two "newbie" female candidates were up to the task (not that some of the men were, either, but we were discussing the abundance of old white guys).

@ChefKevin : I voted for some of the same people you did, but I know several people around here who voted for 'the old white guys'. They're all conservative Republicans, all members of country clubs, and all well off as far as I know. There's no way people like those would ever vote for Andre Allen or Chess. They literally laugh at the idea, which I find nauseating and incredibly condescending.

If she could except the truth once in a while instead of automatically assuming things happen only because of race, she might be okay. However, she can't do that and she is no different than people like Matt Hale.
Small businesses are a thing of the past unless they provide some kind of ad hoc interest. Providing more minimum wage jobs does nothing for the impoverished.
I never hear her speak to the impoverished and encourage them to go to school via grants or Peoria Promise.
She won't get my vote.

@MollyMaggie : My husband is an old white guy and so was my Dad and GrandDad. They are/were all great, hard working guys.

If you are born a white male, you become an old white guy.
If your born a black male, you become an old black guy.
See how that works......

@pictureme2 : "Old white guy" should be a banned phrase. Stop it already.

@JnJ : @picturemetoo that last comment was not directed at you. It is directed at anyone who thinks it is OK to use that in a sentence. I find it every bit as offensive as if it was racist statement towards blacks. Just stop it. No group of people should be profiled and demeaned. Ever.

@Crispus : Yeah, they'd **** their pants if Andre Allen became mayor, but I'm all for the idea. Thought he was the best of the new* candidates who ran by a mile. But then again, I'm a middle aged white guy, not an old white guy Emoticon Emoticon Emoticon
* I didn't consider Rita Ali new as she had run before, but I didn't think she had much over Allen. Super impressed with that guy and hope he runs for some other Peoria public office leadership role

Why not Peoria's Dwayne Johnson - but even better - Carl Cannon. Or Chuck Weaver? Or ABA!?!

@starbound64 : WOW, that is a pretty extreme comparison! I haven't read that she tried to hire a hitman to kill a Federal Judge and is the self-declared leader of a white separatist group who inspired someone to shoot up a parochial grade school.
