The Freedom Party in New York state was founded to promote the interests of blacks.
The American Freedom Party, by contrast, seeks a white America.
In the first 12 days of the Rocker controversy, there were 165 newspaper stories written about him, according to a search of the Dow Jones newspaper database.
(That doesn’t count the thousands of times his name was mentioned on TV or the radio, or in stories in magazines and other publications.)
Now let me tell you about another 12-day cycle, beginning May 15, when Penn State University quarterback Rashard Casey and a buddy made the news.
Casey, who is black, is a talented college quarterback. But like Rocker, it wasn’t his athletic talents that helped him get his name out there.
It wasn’t just what was in his head, the way Rocker earned his nose-pick version of fame.
Instead, it was how Casey allegedly used his fists.
Casey and another black player have been charged with aggravated assault for what happened outside a tavern in Hoboken, N.J.
According to witnesses and police, they smashed a man’s face [because he was with a black woman] until it looked like a broken pomegranate. Then, allegedly, they bounced his head on the concrete, again and again, until he was unconscious. They allegedly did such a thorough job, it’s a good bet that the victim will need extensive reconstructive facial surgery.
The victim’s name is Patrick Fitzsimmons, 34, a Hoboken police officer.
Since I mentioned the race of the alleged attackers, I should be fair and let you know about Fitzsimmons–he’s a pinkish white guy of Irish extraction.
Fitzsimmons was unarmed and off duty at the time of the beating. But when he’s working, Fitzsimmons is assigned to the community policing division, where he is a “tolerance training” instructor.
In Hoboken, tolerance training is part of the Police Department’s efforts to stop hate crimes.
