WestCoastRunner Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 So, this Police Commissioner from a predominantly white New Hampshire town was overheard saying he doesn't watch tv because all he sees is the 'N-word President'. Granted, he is allowed to say whatever he wants, but he should be held accountable. Residents of his town are calling for his resignation but he is refusing. The population consists of 1% black and there are no black people on the police force or any other race for that matter. We can only hope that the townsfolk are successful in demanding his resignation. Here is an article relating to this. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

On Guard for Thee Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I checked the article, but really all you need is to see this guys face. He don't look like a happy man. I would have more expected him to be from the south, but I guess racism is alive and well all over. Edited May 17, 2014 by Charles Anthony deleted re-cpied Opening Post in quotes Quote
PIK Posted May 18, 2014 Report Posted May 18, 2014 What is going on in this world. Someone says something stupid in private and someone hears it and can't get to the web fast enough to tell everyone. Just ignore this crap and it will probably go away. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
cybercoma Posted May 18, 2014 Report Posted May 18, 2014 It goes away for you because you're not the target of the racism. Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Posted May 18, 2014 Well, well, well. Even Mitt Romney is calling for his resignation. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou

WestCoastRunner Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Posted May 19, 2014 EVEN Mitt Romney? Lol! But Mitt Romney has to say that. He has property there! He can't be seen to be associated with such racist remarks. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou

WestCoastRunner Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Posted May 19, 2014 /facepalm Brilliant, whatever that means. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou

Someone says something stupid in private and someone hears it and can't get to the web fast enough to tell everyone. Just ignore this crap and it will probably go away. what's going on is people, at least some of them, are offended by racism. Especially among those who hold public office. If I was black I don't think I'd want to have a run in with this police officer. Quote

It was at a public restaurant and he said it loud enough for other patrons to hear. It is not 'crap'. It is very real racism. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

Someone says something stupid in private and someone hears it and can't get to the web fast enough to tell everyone. Just ignore this crap and it will probably go away. I agree. It is clearly the people in the community who feel that a police commissioner (who hires, fires, gives raises, and is supposed to treating all members the public the same) should not be saying racist things in public, who are in the wrong here. If there is one thing we know about racist police departments, if you just ignore the problem it will go away. Quote

Are you saying that the people in this community are wrong for calling out a racist police commissioner against the 'President of the United States'? Did I hear that right? I hope you are being sarcastic, but to be honest, I never know with some of the members here. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

PIK Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 And it wasn't in private. It was at a public restaurant and he said it loud enough for other patrons to hear. It is not 'crap'. It is very real racism. No it is not, real racism was getting lynched because of your colour and alot of other nasty stuff, name calling is nothing. And if we are down to just name calling then we should not get excited about it, ignore the fools. IMO Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
guyser Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 .....then we should not get excited about it, ignore the fools. IMOHe is the Police Commish ffs. Quote
monty16 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 Yes, he is the police commissioner! Choose your side. You can be for racism or you can oppose it in all it's ugly forms. There are only two sides. Quote

monty16 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Real racism is a combination of not recognizing racism, and stupidity. Never underestimate the cleverness of the American racist. They devote their entire lives to their cause and rise above being stupid. Hence, we try to catch them in their concealment of the truth of their convictions but are seldom successful. Suffice to say that they can't hide their evil intentions forever when they never side with the side of right but instead remain silent when we ask for their condemnation of racism. Know them by that trait alone. Quote
