Racism alive and well in Long Island

The New York Times writes about semi-legal raids on immigrant owned homes in the Hamptons in Long Island.

It appears the honkeys living there (incl. Richard Herrlin, William E. McGintee, Lucinda Murphy, Todd Sarris) don’t quite appreciate the brown people around them and are trying their best to drive them out so that their McMansions could appreciate in value and they could hire illegal immigrants to cater to their every need.

The article concentrates on telling the story of the Leon family from Ecuador. They’re all legal immigrants, but were still raided by a SWAT team at 5am in the morning, because apparently the immigration officials thought the family’s mother could be hiding her ex-husband against whom she had acquired an order of protection before the divorce.

“It would appear that in the war against terrorism, agents of our nation are now acting in the role of terrorizers,” the group of local clergy, East End Clergy Concerned, wrote their congressman in a letter asking for an investigation over the raids.

I couldn’t agree more.

Nappy headed hos vs. Alberto Gonzales subpoena

Published in Uncategorized. Closed Tags: , .

The supposedly serious news outlets CNN and New York Times are both currently running the Imus vs. Rutgers women’s basketball team incident as their lead stories. This while at the same time the US Attorney General has been subpoenaed by the Congress to produce documents in the ongoing investigation about the firing of US attorneys.

The US Congress is basically going to war with the 2nd (or 3rd) most powerful man in the United States Government, and the US President, and these news outlets are running the story about a shock jockey who shocked as their lead story. Incredible.

If a great musician plays music but no one hears, was he really any good?

A Washington Post journalist, Gene Weingarten, conducted a hilarious social experiment with world famous violinist Joshua Bell at one of the Washington, DC metro stations last January.

Joshua Bell, whose sell out concerts sell for $100 per ticket, or more, played his $3.5M Stradovarius violin during the morning rush hour at the top of the escalators in the L’Enfant Plaza metro stop. He received $52.17 in tips from appreciative commuters. $20 of that came from the only person who actually recognized him.

Also read the live discussion Washington Post held last Monday about the article.
