Right, it is a little painful to have your hometown fashioned into a cliche for national consumption.
I also thought it was strange the Socialist history of Milwaukee was left unmentioned.
Any way for Urban Milwaukee to look into who was in the audience?
It was disappointing to find out that UWM students made up only 3% of the audience. And there seemed to be very few minorities in the crowd as well.
Some fairly well-connected Democrats I know were unable to get tickets to the event.
All due respect to the MANY white people writing for the site, but for a significantly large portion of this community it is not negative at all to put national spotlight on Dontre Hamilton and the hideous race relations between law enforcement and the black community. I think the white privilege shows when you suggest it is preferable to sweep that shit under the rug. But that has been the white attitude for decades, and it hasn’t really worked out now has it? It is good to have attention on our problems, and it is good to have national leaders aware of this town’s racism. But yeah, maybe it would be better if she shut up and let the white people handle it.
Matt, this story is a satire. I’m not suggesting Dontre Hamilton shouldn’t be mentioned (I personally think it was quite relevant to points being made in the debate) and not suggesting Hillary shouldn’t have bashed Walker. I’m also making fun of the earlier praise of the city by Fox.
It was skewed for Hillary and her corporate cronies.
