Know, I dident heer et. BUtt I did cee these:


Quoteth the NYPost:
VILE OUTBURSTS ARE FANNING FLAMES OF HATRED
April 25, 2005 -- THERE were two bias crimes in Brooklyn.
The first happened when a group of black girls allegedly attacked a group of white girls over the use of a basketball court, shouting, "White crackers," and "Black power," between kicks and punches.

The second happened when a local newspaper resorted to hate speech and race-baiting to stir up local outrage over the incident.

After printing a story more one-sided than its front page, the weekly Brooklyn Skyline published more than a dozen vile, racist letters from angry readers, complete with references to "monkeys," "apes" and "African savages."

Most of the letters were from out of town, from places like Missouri, Iowa, Texas and Louisiana.


Cops arrested five of the suspected attackers after the March 30 Marine Park brawl, but did not charge them with bias crimes. That decision was overruled by the city's corporation counsel, which upgraded the charges.

Anyone stupid enough to invoke the name of Martin Luther King — the modern-day model for tolerance and nonviolence — while stomping a helpless victim needs to be slapped with something more than a simple assault charge.

But there should also be some outrage over a newspaper that would wallow in the racial mud by printing letters that tell blacks to go "back to Africa."

At least the troublemakers who started the fight in the park were juveniles who can hide, to some degree, behind their youth.

But the race-card-playing publishers who gambled that prejudice would boost their newspaper were presumably adults.

They should know better.

What's all this about Martin Luther King? Did you leave something out? Did I not read carefully enough?

Wow...when the NY Post of all papers is calling you out for inciting hatred, then you know there's a problem! I actually haven't heard anything about that incident. Anyone have a story link?

dont have a link, but I searched brooklyn skyline marine park bias attack on google. I cant believe that this isnt a bigger deal

Not to make light of someone being assaulted, this is race baiting. Like Candicissima said: If the post ran this article this must be from a *beyond* a right slant.

If you google this (which they want you to do) it comes back to this "news outlet". I'm using the "news outlet" like I use my nether regions as a "food outlet".

One question for Sandy.. Will you be wearing a hood or a brown shirt to the happy hour?

I am simply pointing out that I the white attacked teh blacks it would be a national story and YES Sharpton Would be involved. You do not believe this you are the truly ignorant one!!!!!!!!
