Will Livingston Delete This, Too?

So I posted the following at the Black Blog, and I didn't even mention anything about my being deleted or gay rights. It was in response to a discussion started by a user named "chris" about who should fill the upcoming vacant council seat. As you will see, this is a perfectly appropriate comment:

I am forever haunted by a comment made by Nick Spencer. He said that if Ghiz did not get the appointment, it would make it harder for white conservatives to get elected to council seats in the future.

I am fearful of the racialized sense of that statement. I don't know where it leads, but in any discussion of this sort, I feel a need to bring it up.
