A man walks through the crowd at the Ground Zero protest and is mistaken as a Muslim. The crowd turns on him and confronts him. The man in the blue hard hat calls him a coward and tries to fight him. The tall man who I think was one of the organizers tried to get between the two men. Later I caught up with the man who's name is Kenny. He is a Union carpenter who works at Ground Zero. We discussed what a scary moment that was for him. I told him that I hoped it did not ruin his day.
Well it's really his fault for wearing that funny looking white cap and swarthy skin now isn't it? Personal responsibility folks!
ReplyDeleteHey, that dude looks like a Muslim...git em!
ReplyDeleteFucking retards!
Can we export our ignorance to France, which seems to have a head start on cornering the world market on it? Despite their head start, legislatively, we may be able to eclipse them, should the right wing get it's way and the location for this Islamic Center if changed.
ReplyDeleteEunice. I hope your comment was said with snark, otherwise you don't come off looking too good. If in fact that guy is a construction worker, chances are he's a welder since most all of them wear such head coverings under their welders helmets. They're generally multi colored designs, but I have seen sold colors used also, whit included.
ReplyDeleteSnark, 2xs.
ReplyDeleteHow dare that black man infiltrate the old white peoples hate rally!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere in Louisiana many of the young black men wear this type of head coverings,usually black,but some white or colored.
I am ashamed of America.We have not learned from history.Blacks,Irish,Italians,Catholics,Pakistani's,Vietnamese,you name it,we have treated them like garbage at some point. Stupid genes seem to be dominate.
Next they'll be measuring craniums and checking eye color.
ReplyDeleteSound familiar?
Strange fruit..
ReplyDeleteWow, I hope this clip is picked up by a major news organization and is widely seen.
ReplyDeleteThat big guy in the suit coat must have done some fancy, ass-kissing apology to Kenny, begging him to walk away and not infuriate the crowd with his cap and skin color.
Oh so not just Muslims, but any one who looks like they MIGHT be a Muslim is heckled. What a shameful comment on white, stupid America. These folks are the 21st century KKK.
FYI . . two "swarthy" complexion journalists from a Christian TV satellite network to support the Sufi not-a-mosque center ... were physically attacked by the "patriots" and the police had to rescue the journalists from what was escalating to be a bloodbath for two uber-Christian TV talking heads.
ReplyDeleteYou know, as a citizen of America, I'm starting to think it is my patriotic duty to buy a video camera and carry it to events that might need some independent documentation.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, purchase and learn how to use one of those new phones with a built in video camera, to always have on hand.
I am not a big "new technology" person at all, but nothing can beat an eyewitness video clip for capturing not just words, but the non-verbal context as well.
Thanks Sarah for putting our religious rights in danger and our whole country for that matter as the world watches and the Islamic believers and radicals now have a reason to recruit new radicals.
ReplyDeleteI am speechless.This makes me cry.
ReplyDeleteWe are the "Ugly Americans"
Isn't it ironic that this little tidbit is not being reported more widely?

In the film, please notice the "Sharia" signs with "blood" dripping from the letters. They appear to be mass-produced. Now who could be funding the printing of these signs?
ReplyDeleteAnother grassroot demonstration no doubt
Bigotry and racism has been relatively dormant for a while. Since the Obama Presidency, it has reawakened. As ugly as it is, this is a good thing. Like the strained couple that goes on with their lives, not talking about their problems as if there wasn't anything wrong. So too here, the only way to face our issues is to bring them from under the surface and confront them head on. These fools in NYC are disgusting to watch, but I think this is how it has to be.

ReplyDeleteDo you have a link for that? I would like to twit it.
If any of you believe that that video was not staged....you don't know black people. There is no way any 'right thinkin' black persom would walk through that hostile white crowd with that hat on...nooo waaay. And stay in the crowd after the confrontation...PULEEESE. He would have gotten out of there because no matter what the whites did to him....he would have been the one arrested. I KNOW THIS.
ReplyDeleteEven after the confrontation was over the black man stayed in that angry crowd. They could have surrounded him and stomped him to death. And when the white man came to the black guy's defense....the crowd would have eaten him alive calling him every n-lovin name in the book.
That was staged...plain and simple. The black guy and the white guy who came to his aide were PAID for that little act and that is why the black guy kept hanging around after the confrontation was over.
