NY official slurs black leaders with N-word 8 times in a minute

A candidate running for the Buffalo Common Council has refused to end his campaign after he was caught on tape using the N-word to describe black leaders.
In an audio recording obtained by The Buffalo News, Joseph A. Mascia can be heard complaining to a former employee about Mayor Byron Brown, Council President Darius Pridgen, Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, and Dawn Sanders-Garrett, who was Mascia’s boss at at the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority.

He is a registered democrat but he is not the endorsed candidate of the democratic party. He is the endorsed candidate of the conservative party. Apparently the democrats are a better judge of character than the conservatives.

Joseph A. Mascia, Erie County Conservative Party’s endorsed candidate for Buffalo, New York’s Common Council was caught on tape making racist remarks about Mayor Byron W. Brown, Council President Darius G. Pridgen and other African-American leaders.

On Thursday night, the Conservative party offered its nomination to Housing Commissioner Joe Mascia — a clear rejection of the longtime incumbent David Franzcyk, who has overseen the utter collapse of his Fillmore district neighborhood over the past three decades. Franzcyk requested the party line, but could not even find a supporter on the committee to nominate him.

The vote was unanimously in favor of Mascia, which rarely happens,

We see which social club he belongs to.

We see which social club he belongs to.

And we see which social club rejected him as a candidate and which social club voted unanimously for him as their candidate.

Joe Mascia, the unanimous choice of the conservatives. That's the fact.

They rejected him because politically they could have a better chance to win the seat with someone else. It's about wining seats and control more than the character of the person or qualifications.

I'm pretty sure Joe traveled in the regular democratic party circle. Fund raisers, support groups and so forth.

(Something I learned from you..)

Maybe Jeremy and the boys don't find anything unusual about such language and didn't think it's a big deal. But come election time they need to support the person they know could win an elected seat.

There you go.. That works.
