NewYorkNY, unfortunately, suffers from some identity issues. She has previously favored us with a lengthy and rather ridiculous lamentation that she felt alienated from everyone that she knew because she didnt revel in Obama's victory as being a significant one for African-Americans, since Obama is not (so far as we know) the direct descendant of slaves. Since she claims to hail from Gotham, one would think that she would be familiar with the names "Louima" and "Diallo" and know that one need not be a direct descendant of a slave to bear the burden of slavery's legacy. However, she is, in the popular parlance, a hater. I know that as a Black person, I wont waste my time with her misguided racial foolishness, and I'd suggest you do the same regarding her desire for governmental disruption. Think of her rants as the typed equivalent of pigeon droppings.
