Reply #32: a little too late to paraphrase, but I will try my best:

[Coexist]

he said he was hesitant to list all his Jewish friends because of the "I'm not racist, some of my best friends are black" thing. He mentioned some of his Jewish supporters, his close Jewish friends and advisors on Israel. He mentioned how he had trouble getting elected in Chicago, because AA thought he was too close to the Jewish community (mentioned where he lived, but I forgot the name of the neighborhood).

He also said that he knows and has discussions with people who have made racist comments in the past, that it is important to hear from every side of the issue, but that he wil tell people if he disagrees with them. That he cannot be held responsible for everything that everyone who supports him says, and guilt by association must stop.

Standing ovation followed.
