The Race Question At Asbury Park

Asbury Park, NJ, July 14 - The colored people here are not as indignant as was 
supposed 
over the action of James A. Bradley in arranging a separate bathing ground for 
them. The 
members of the Afro-American League, who were active in the movement to hold a 
meeting tonight, in which Mr. Bradley was to be strongly denounced, found but 
little 
sympathy, and the whole thing ended in a fizzle.

This evening the colored people denounced the hot-headed persons who talked of 
holding the indignation meeting. After conferring together, the leaders of the 
colored 
people decided that Mr. Bradley's action was justified by the circumstances, 
and there 
will be no trouble here over the race question.

OK, stop right now please, 

My post was to the theory that Bradley was a racist.

Hijacking someone elses thread is really rude and unneeded.
Take the politics to (../group/asburypolitics)

Lake Ave was and should be the flow off main to the BW - off Rt 33 and 
off a new Springwood Ave provides the flow.

Or... rethink Lake Ave - WATER. That's were the open air diining should 
be. 

That's a real design flaw. I'd rather sit on Lake ave with expanded 
walkways, umbrellas etc then sit on a crowded sidewalk along Cookman.

In theroy, they are. But if the BW can keep one's attention all day 
AND night, then the DT needs more. 

You're all going after the same $. That's where MM will or could 
bring in the additional market - the family. Cleary the downtown has 
more or less zero as a family destination - for eating, shopping etc.

The boardwalk has the beach and ocean. A typical family thing.  

 we need to promte ap as a great place to shop dine visit... its 
safe its fun.. there are all type of  activites and a warm and 
vibrant community.  

Yes it is. And you're target market is?

..the bailout for the small business person.. 

when we were on the BW years ago-  there were no bankers to loan 
money to two idiots. My sone asked me last night , so where did you 
get you're money to open? $5k off my Grandmother, $5k off my partners 
aunt and the rest the two idiots worked, didn't go out boozing or 
smoking or pissing it away on girlfriends, we saved it. When it 
rained, it rained. There were some good suppliers. They delivered 
supplies, we shook hands and they advised along the way to be smart. 
Tommy's ice Cream, Asbury syrup etc etc. The old guys that knew the 
business. They were like partners. 

its not business as usual we have to offer the consumer 
 something that will make them walk away feeling they have received 
 value...in product.. food ...drink...etc


My son and I spend a few hours in Frank's on Main Street. 

its not business as usual we have to offer the consumer 
 something that will make them walk away feeling they have received 
 value...in product.. food ...drink...etc


Again, go to Franks and watch and learn.

My son gets it and when he leaves there he feels - something that 
made him walk away feeling we received value...in product.. 
food ...drink...etc

He went to the Turning Point once. 

He's not a fancy kid. I call him cheap.

Here's a last thought on business:

There was a real cure restaraunt in Ocean Grove once. We'd go there 
often as we could. Great food, BYOB etc etc.

You must order two meals . Ok, so we'd order two meals and just 
make one to go.

Then they saw an opportunity to buy a building AP. They did. It was 
more involved then what they thought. They were pioneers. They nearly 
lost their shirt. So today the place is bigger and different and has 
hits and misses. I don't know the whole story but Moonstruck created 
a destination. First in Ocean Grove, then in AP.

I raised both those issues during the planning and have continued to bring them 
to light 
along with the benefits of making Ocean Ave one way north.

All obvious good planning is dismissed in this incarnation however.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: OMG - WTF - Again !

2008-10-28 Thread denise
Good Morning Tommy I know you were addressing Sharon, but I thought I jump in 
and give my two cents.

First of all congratulations on the win---All of our teams were undefeated 
until the lost to Howell.  I was on vacation and did not attend the game but I 
heard it was a good game.

The names are not new and not considered traditional.  I named my daughters 
what I thought was at the time unique names.  I did not want the traditional 
names like Denise, Sara, Amy, Joanne, Katie.  
(Taniya,Tivona,Tamara,Tierra,Tayana) I wanted to be creative.  If you look at 
their names you see they all begin with T and end with a and they all have 6 
letters.  Their middle names are traditional (Michelle, Danielle)
In my opinion I think the next generation after me started naming 
children after what they thought were muslims names with some adjustments .  
Some also took traditional names and added letters to make it different for 
instance Shawn became(Eshawn,DeShawn, DaShawn, MyShawn). Then some went in my 
opinion overboard with names that probably made it hard for the child to 
pronounce like Ashanasia, Ashaquasia then some names became probably like the 
names you discovered on that list --only for the child to be given a nickname 
that was easy to pronounce.  Also the late 80-90's generation considered the 
traditional names as slave names.  

I don't think the idea was to be as you say deliberately separate because I 
would say to you what makes the names like Tommy and Denise, Concetta right and 
the names like Ashanasia, DaShawn, Chiquetta wrong.  Generations have their own 
trends. What we thought was right in our younger years is not what is 
considered right to today. Most young people have they're own mindset these 
days that's why you now see spiked hair-, you see the gothic look, you see the 
pants hanging off.  Do I agree with the new trends no.  But you also have seen 
the comeback of pedal pushers(capri pants) mini dresses , penny loafers.  

But at the same time a certain name has hurt some people.  Someone could have a 
master's degree and have graduated at the top of her class but because her name 
on the application for employment was Shamika she was never even considered for 
the job. 

I grew up with Sharon's children even though they are a couple of years younger 
than myself I also grew up with James(Butch) Butler who lived around the block 
from me even though he was older.  I also went to school with John Loffredo 
sister.  
 
I grew up in Belmar then Neptune now Asbury Park.  What is going on in any 
community right now.  I work in Freehold and it used to be that when you heard 
a car pulling up besides you in traffic blasting rap music with the base so 
strong you could feel your heart beating in your chest I thought it would have 
be an young African American, but instead it was a young White American.  The 
younger generation are coming together more, I also see young kids of all 
colors walking around with their pants hanging off so it is not just in the 
black community.  I just recently came from Disney they have booths that charge 
to put cornrows and beads in your hair which traditionally started in the black 
community.  
 
So what must we do!  Can we hang on and hope the trends will soon change again?

Wow Sharon I'm glad you brought that up about Shamika. Something

to bear on it, first as an American, and second as an African 
American.

My friend and I were calling the Asbury-Howell game from the booth. 
Both of us grew up in AP and live in Howell so we were excited.

When it came time to call the Asbruy Park cheerleaders, a nice woman 
came up to the booth with the list. She said, Do you want me to 
read these names over the loud speaker?

I knew she thought we would be uncomfortable with the first names. 
We wanted her to feel comfortable so we told her we were both from 
AP and probably knew some of the families (we did) so we could 
handle the names.

She gave me the list. I have to tell you, there was no first name I 
had ever heard of before. This was well beyond Shamika.

One name I knew I couldn't handle, and asked her for help. She 
looked at it and admitted that she couldn't say it either. She had 
to make a cell phone call for the pronunciation.

My friend ran through the listover the loud speaker and did a 
perfect job with the names.

It made me realize that I may have just experienced a bit of culture 
clash.

As an Italian, I come from people who changed their names to sound 
more American. Many of my cousins used their American

Hi Denise!

Thanks so much for these thoughts below. VERY insightful.

Don't congratulate me on the win - unless my kid is on the Howell 
team, my heart is always with AP ;-).

My friend and I in the booth were in that rare position of cheering 
for both teams touchdowns and tackles.  

We've heard all about AP's program in Howell this year.  Outstanding!

Let me add a bit to your thoughts below.

Great history lesson, Denise.  Really shows the evolution.

Also the late 80-90's generation considered the traditional names 
as slave names.  

I thought that.  It's a real cultural problem.  I blame the schools 
for teaching the wrong things.  I did a column on it not to long 
ago.  It's here:

http://tinyurl.com/6yhg8q


 I don't think the idea was to be as you say deliberately separate 
because I would say to you what makes the names like Tommy and 
Denise, Concetta right and the names like Ashanasia, DaShawn, 
Chiquetta wrong.  

I know what you mean.  I didn't put my sister's name in the common 
name column though.  That's why it was hidden from her until she was 
14.  The family thought it was to ethnic at the time and didn't want 
her having any problems fitting in.


Generations have their own trends. What we thought was right in our 
younger years is not what is considered right to today. Most young 
people have they're own mindset these days that's why you now see 
spiked hair-, you see the gothic look, you see the pants hanging

GREAT POINT!  
 
 But at the same time a certain name has hurt some people.  Someone

class but because her name on the application for employment was 
Shamika she was never even considered for the job. 

Exactly right!  That's my fear too.  Aren't we putting the children 
at a competitive disadvantage with the non-traditional names?  
That's why I call it culture clash.  The European mindset was always 
to Americanize.  The Black mindset, which has every right to 
America, seems to be trending toward separateness.

 
 I grew up in Belmar then Neptune now Asbury Park.  What is going 
on in any community right now.  I work in Freehold and it used to

In so doing, he only added another layer of hypocrisy to that which already

None of this changes the fact that he laid out a mean street plan and funded 
some very

minimized or forgotten. But just as the sewage system, flared streets and

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: OMG - WTF - Again !

2008-10-28 Thread denise
My problem is I graduated from Neptune High School.  My mom and dad still 
reside in Neptune, my two oldest daughters graduated from Neptune and my twins 
graduated from Asbury Park High School and my youngest is a cheerleader for AP 
Pop Warner.  

Many of the parents in AP say they bleed blue I have to say I bleed red and 
blue.  Love both towns still.

My parents and relatives taught me about my history.  I don't put it all on the 
school to teach and we can't truly put all the blame on the teachers for what 
is wrong with the children of today.  Little Johnny can't read because little 
Johnny has not been adopted by a village to teach him.  

It starts at home when I went to school there were two classes offered to me 
and I took both.  There was American History taught by my Italian teacher Mr. 
Cafone, then there was Black History taught by my African American teacher Mr. 
Jake Jones.  If there were things I did not understand or was confused about I 
went home and asked my parents.  If I still had quesions I knew where the 
library was to do further research.  Whatever the outcome I had various sources 
to draw my conclusion from. 

I worked on my youngest child from the womb.  I had to put pillows in a chair 
so she could reach the keyboard at the age of 1 now she's teaching me a few 
things about electronics.

Hi Denise!

Thanks so much for these thoughts below. VERY insightful.

Don't congratulate me on the win - unless my kid is on the Howell 
team, my heart is always with AP ;-).

My friend and I in the booth were in that rare position of cheering 
for both teams touchdowns and tackles. 

We've heard all about AP's program in Howell this year. Outstanding!

Let me add a bit to your thoughts below.

 The names are not new and not considered traditional.  I named my 
daughters what I thought was at the time unique names.  I did not 
want the traditional names like Denise, Sara, Amy, Joanne, Katie. 
(Taniya,Tivona, Tamara,Tierra, Tayana) I wanted to be creative.  If 
you look at their names you see they all begin with T and end with 
a and they all have 6 letters.  Their middle names are traditional 
(Michelle, Danielle)

I know what you mean. We thought we were being creative in 
combining two names for my daughter (Annalisa). She's only met two 
others. 

 In my opinion I think the next generation after me started naming 
children after what they thought were muslims names with some 
adjustments .  Some also took traditional names and added letters 
to make it different for instance Shawn became(Eshawn, DeShawn, 
DaShawn, MyShawn). Then some went in my opinion overboard with 
names that probably made it hard for the child to pronounce like 
Ashanasia, Ashaquasia then some names became probably like the 
names you discovered on that list --only for the child to be given 
a nickname that was easy to pronounce.

Great history lesson, Denise. Really shows the evolution.

Also the late 80-90's generation considered the traditional names 
as slave names.  

I thought that. It's a real cultural problem. I blame the schools 
for teaching the wrong things. I did a column on it not to long 
ago. It's here:

http://tinyurl. com/6yhg8q

 I don't think the idea was to be as you say deliberately separate 
because I would say to you what makes the names like Tommy and 
Denise, Concetta right and the names like Ashanasia, DaShawn, 
Chiquetta wrong.  

I know what you mean. I didn't put my sister's name in the common 
name column though. That's why it was hidden from her until she was 
14. The family thought it was to ethnic at the time and didn't want 
her having any problems fitting in.

Generations have their own trends. What we thought was right in our 
younger years is not what is considered right to today. Most young 
people have they're own mindset these days that's why you now see 
spiked hair-, you see the gothic look, you see the pants hanging 
off.  Do I agree with the new trends no.  But you also have seen the 
comeback of pedal pushers(capri pants) mini dresses , penny loafers.

GREAT POINT!  

 But at the same time a certain name has hurt some people.  Someone 
could have a master's degree and have graduated at the top of her 
class but because her name on the application for employment was 
Shamika she was never even considered for the job. 

Exactly right! That's my fear too. Aren't we putting the children 
at a competitive disadvantage with the non-traditional names? 
That's why I call it culture clash. The European mindset was always 
to Americanize. The Black mindset, which has every right to 
America, seems to be trending toward separateness.

 I grew up in Belmar then Neptune now Asbury Park.  What is going

Because the READER of that resume associates the name Shamika with

Patrick as his confirmation name.

That happened at Brookdale a few years ago. I think it was actaully 
reverse discrimination. The guy submitted two resumes. One with his 
real name, the other with what he thought they were looking for. He 
wound up suing and winning.

Like applying for a job with companies or state. You get back a 3x5 
card asking you check off  some stuff that will not be used in the 
hiring process. Never a box for jewish (Other _x___) or married 
or needs a job otherwise I wouldn't be applying how about looking at 
my skills.

[AsburyPark] A Thought on Marketing...

2008-10-28 Thread oakdorf
When you check in Hotel (even motels), you might see one of the 
following in either your room or the hotel lobby...

1. A flyer of local events and dining (doesn't have to be real 
fancy..)

2. A local paper (say the APP or The Tri-City). Not discussing the 
merits of either here...

3. A Local Event Paper (we have a few now I think)

4. A sharp glossy of the local area

5. A local dining and shopping guide.

Given that I haven't stayed in the Empress nor the Berkin recent 
memory, has the chamber or anyone else produced anything and has 
either hotel (add tides) agreed to place these in the rooms? 

Then head outside AP - OG, Long Branch. Head west down 66 towards the 
outlet mall  out to the Collingswood Circle and over to Eatontown and 
Rt 36. 

Lots of hotel/motel rooms and a pretty big race track.

NEW people don't know you exist unless you let them know or they hear 
it from someone else.

I have to. Sorry.

Public school in AP is essentially free to property owners in AP - as

Look at your tax bill and be thankful only a tiny portion of that 
supports your schools the school with the highest costs per kid is 
supported by the state.

I hope I don't offend anybody by this...
But, when I hear a guy speaking out against gay marriage because of religion, 
it makes me 
want to puke.
There are many religions in this world, not one.
Personally, I'm a non-believer, so I don't want people who believe in what I 
think of as 
fantasy dictating my life.
Now, let's say there was just one religion, and god says that gay marriage is 
a no no?
And let's say that the bible says that gay sex is wrong because it's just about 
perverse 
pleasure, not procreation.
Well, in the straight world, there are plenty of sexual acts that have 
absolutely nothing to 
do with procreation, love, or anything. I'll just mention one...anal sex.
Would god think that's just fine if it's only between straight people?
If so, why?

Didn't see it and don't need to.  Both political parties are in the
same place on the issue - Barack and John agree to that on stage at
the debate.

Since I disagree with both, I'm immune from criticism.

On the other issues, that guy is great!

I'm not a believer either but if gay people want to get married let them do it 
in a civil ceremony. It should not be forced down the throats of people who 
find some sort of comfort in religion.  The Ocean Grove thing still pisses me 
off.  The land is owned by a church and it should be respected. I want to see 
two gay people try to get married in a muslim mosque. You would see two heads

Nothing is forced on a church.

My wife and I could have gone to a Mayor or a Judge to get married.
The law would call it marriage and we would be married.  

My Church wouldn't recognize it.

Why can't we have the same for gays?  Let them marry by Judge or Mayor
in the eyes of the law.  The Church doesn't have to recognize it.

Everyone gets what they want - people, Church and law.

Ocean Grove thing still pisses me off.  The land is owned by a church 

No it's not.  It's owned by the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association.
 It's not a church; it's a non-profit company.

The head of it is Rasmussen, the guy whose polls you see on TV and in
the newspapers everyday.


I want to see two gay people try to get married in a muslim
mosque. You would see two heads bouncing down the stairs.

That's why they should be allowed to get married at the Courthouse or
in Council Chambers.

True conservatives - we always put people first.  Equal rights for
gays and the newly conceived - they are all humans just like you and
me.  Created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights.

 The Race Question At Asbury Park
 
 Asbury Park, NJ, July 14 - The colored people here are not as
indignant as was supposed 
 over the action of James A. Bradley in arranging a separate bathing
ground for them. The 
 members of the Afro-American League, who were active in the movement
to hold a 
 meeting tonight, in which Mr. Bradley was to be strongly denounced,
found but little 
 sympathy, and the whole thing ended in a fizzle.
 
 This evening the colored people denounced the hot-headed persons who
talked of 
 holding the indignation meeting. After conferring together, the
leaders of the colored 
 people decided that Mr. Bradley's action was justified by the
circumstances, and there 
 will be no trouble here over the race question.

Uh, Yes sir, Mr. Bradley!  No problem at all, sir!  We agree with the
segragation for the good of the hotels!  Don't know why you hung those
signs up there at all!  Not like any of us was going down there to the
beach!  We was the one's that wanted the segregation so we never went!


Good grief.
