• What a proud day for my people.

 

The city and the state of Louisiana will pay the bulk of a $3.4 million racial discrimination judgment against the New Orleans District Attorney's Office, officials announced Tuesday.

 

The judgment was awarded to 36 employees, 35 white and one Hispanic, who were fired and replaced by black employees shortly after Eddie Jordan took over as the city's first black district attorney in 2003.

 

Then again, after it's all said and done, I'm sure each of them will be getting about $20.

 

I wonder if this incident was part of the HATE CRIME stats that are rising?

 

More than 7,700 hate crimes were committed in the US last year, a rise of more than 7%, the FBI has reported.

More than half of the victims were attacked because of their race, while 19% were targeted because of their religion, the annual report said.

 

However, there were wide discrepancies, with northern states reporting far more hate crimes than the southern states, despite the South's racial history.

 

LOL at the BBC surprised at this news. Yeah, there's no racism at all up north. Somebody didn't see "Gangs of New York."

Hey, they left me out of that statistic. Last winter I went out to my driveway to shovel snow only to discover a swastika had been drawn in the snow in the driveway near the garage door. How many other souls out there are suffering in silence like me?????

Beats me why someone did that. I'm not Jewish I know that much. There is a teenager across the street who, whenever I happen to make eye contact, gives me one of those "too cool for you" teenager looks.
