    that market-driven article from ny mag was originally published more than a year ago when Despana had just opened (03.06.06 to be exact)

  • Typical

    I tried to find a Times article that mentioned the city employee threatening to assassinate a councilman in City Hall but they're being resolute in their agenda to portray blacks solely as peaceful, basket-weaving people and chose to ignore this incident altogether.

  • B.A. barackus

    so true, The Post, a friend of the minority.

  • Jack

    He referenced the Post. How much I care about what he has to say has just decreased.

  • j.c. lynch

    The politician was not killed by another politician. he wasn't even a politician, yet.

    why can't I talk about whitey? how bout we talk about you, mr. typical?

  • Typical

    A black politician threatens to assassinate another black politician a few years after a black politician was assassinated by another black politician. Everyone involved is black and you're talking about whitey?

  • Jaycee lynch

    Let's talk about all the Whites who did the killing all throughout history. Let's confine it only to the united states.

    You sure know a lot about Black History, are you a professor of one?

    or, are you just a closet racist? hmmmmmm.......

    so typical, so typical.

  • Even More Typical

    Sure. And Othniel Askew only wanted to "politically assassinate" James Davis. Same thing with Talmadge Hayer and Malcolm X. Past lynchings? Let's talk about the self-lynching of blacks in America TODAY.

  • JC lynch

    Please, it's political assassination.

    the only assassination in this country are those lynchings and draggings that for some reason is a form of amusement for a warm summer night.

    Yep, see them swing and sway and take pictures and laugh. Oh, how they laughed.

    anyone, remember the laughter?

  • Typical

    Another advocation of violence by yet another "black leader." What else is new?
