So how was it? Was there a good turnout? Did anyone start a fight?

My bad. I finally tracked down a photo of the guy and he looked about as white
as Barack Hussein Obama. My apologies, dude. I thought that since they didn't
identify him in the news as of the African -American persuasion, he must have
been White.

We are living in a very important time and we all need to rise to the
occasion. We are
in a new millennium where we should leave the past behind us, all the hurt
and mistakes.
Even someone as witty as Ross can make a mis-step in judgment when writing or
referring
to another race in a way that traditionally has been offensive.
The words "Negro" and "Boy" shouldn't be used today when referring to black
men and you
defiantly don't want to use them in a statement together.
I don't want to hear it on this list, on my street from a neighbor, or
anywhere else for that matter.
It belongs in the past.

Sharrieff -- My offensive post was inspired by two things -- 1) the way people
on this list have suggested that when it snows, it's a charitable thing to do
to let the "kids" walking around with snow shovels earn some "spending money
for the holidays" and 2) watching two perfectly healthy Penn kids having an
older African-American gentleman shovel out their car on Baltimore Avenue
yesterday. No doubt they thought they were doing him a big favor.
Anyhow, I hope we can count on your getting your black ass to the opening
tonight.
Oh, and in case anybody's still keeping track, what was the ethnicity of the
crazy real-estate investor who killed five people downna Naval Yard this week?

In the context of this list, everyone here knows what Ross is saying. "
because most people are not
very intellectual about what they view as racist remarks" isn't true here.
If Ross says that out at the 46th St EL stop, yes, he's going to have some
local repercussion. Don't use this as another excuse to complain. Yes, it's
politically incorrect. Ross is politically incorrect for the most part. When
he posts to the list, I read what he has to say. When others post, I hit
"delete" for the most part because so much trash is posted here. There are a
few jewels though. We're all smart enough to know better than to think that
Bender is intending on making real racist remarks.

Ross..as a word of advise..stay away from the phrase "little negro boys".
It is not PC and not funny to ..most..people..because most people are not
very intellectual about what they view as racist remarks.
There is a double standard. If Chris Rock says Negro it is funny..If Ross
Bender
says it..it will raise eyebrows.

Anybody driving to the Cassidy Opening tonight who could give me a lift? My
Lexus Nexus is in the shop and my Beemer's totally snowed in and the little
Negro boys refuse to shovel it out for less than minimum wage. Friggin
capitalists. Also, I am TOTALLY furious at the Streets Department, what with
all the taxes and kickbacks I pay to the corrupt Democrat city government -- I
have repeatedly called 911 and they positively REFUSE to come and help me. Also
called John Fenton over at UCD but they said he's "upstairs with a client",
whatever the hell that means.
