Notice how you're the only one who sees something improper? Maybe you should take remedial English comprehension.<br /><br />In that paragraph I was recounting what the speaker at the meeting said. It wasn't a story I conjured up, but I was simply relaying what Martin said.Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-65974612839450061952011-07-25T09:34:59.080-04:002011-07-25T09:34:59.080-04:00It isn't what you ment or how you live, it is ...It isn't what you ment or how you live, it is about what you wrote. Remember Howard Cosell "Little monkey" comment?<br /><br />During a Monday Night Football telecast on September 5, 1983, Cosell said of Washington Redskins wide receiver Alvin Garrett, "That little monkey gets loose, doesn't he?" The Rev. Joseph Lowery, then-president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, denounced Cosell's comment as racist and demanded a public apology, but Cosell refused, citing his past support for black athletes and stating that "little monkey" was an affectionate term he had used in the past for diminutive white athletes (including Mike Adamle, who Cosell was on record as using the term 11 years prior), as well as for his own grandson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-17031480274352311702011-07-24T09:20:56.258-04:002011-07-24T09:20:56.258-04:00Anon 7:14,

I've lived in a 90% minority neighborhood for over 8 years. (Wouldn't still be here if I had that problem.)<br /><br />2. I ride an 80% minority transit system.<br /><br />3. Given #1 and #2, if I finally do find myself a woman, it isn't going to be a White woman.<br /><br />If you have any doubts about my work towards an inclusive Virginia Beach, ask Georgia Allen (President of the VB NAACP), Carl Wright (Chairman of the African-American Political Action Committee), and Andrew Jackson (Chairman of the African-American Community Leadership Forum).Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-57579532905351957512011-07-24T07:34:30.648-04:002011-07-24T07:34:30.648-04:00I have to ask: Are you comparing the population in...I have to ask: Are you comparing the population in VB to monkeys?<br /><br />Given your points on minority groth increases, I have to say your monkey paragraph is out of touch and racist. <br /><br />What is wrong with you and have you lost your mind?
