Talk:DAN WHITE SUPPORTERS
This page seems to me extremely questionable. Whats the purpose of "Supporting Dan White" if not to imply that there is support out there for his radical thinking that inded up in the murder of Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk. I honestly believe the page should be removed.
Any analysis of his work needs to be balanced by the horrific damage he created which in my eyes completely ripped away any good he for the community and anything worth supporting.
Response to suggestion to remove page
Hi there, very glad to have your feedback and suggestion...
I wonder if you actually read the piece beyond the title because it's only marginally about Dan White as a politician worth supporting, and much more about the author's personal experience with the folks in that neighborhood where he grew up, which were de facto the folks who voted White in... So, no I don't think it appropriate to remove this page. It's an honest, somewhat cavalier portrayal of one person's experience of growing up in that neighborhood at that time... the title refers to the folks who live there, not that Dan White was worth supporting...
Furthermore, if you're still dissatisfied, I recommend you write a different piece about that neighborhood based on your own experiences, or any other angle that suits you...
No one is saying Dan White was a good guy who had good politics here... though some COULD say that if they so believed, and could back it up with some reasonable evidence...
hope that clarifies...
