Mexican Attacks Inflame Tensions on NYC Island (black on Hispanic)
fox news & AP ^ | August 16, 2010 | fox news & AP

When Rodolfo Olmedo was dragged down by a group of men shouting anti-Mexican epithets and bashed over the head with a wooden stick on the street outside his home, he instinctively covered his face to keep from getting disfigured. Blood filled his mouth.

"I wanted to scream, but I couldn't because of the beating they were giving me," said the 25-year-old baker. Nearly five months later, he is still taking pain medications for his head injuries.

Recorded by a store's surveillance camera, the assault was the first of 11 suspected anti-Hispanic bias attacks in a Staten Island neighborhood, re-igniting years-old tensions between blacks and Hispanics in New York City's most remote borough.

Residents of Port Richmond -- where an influx of newcomers from Latin America over the past decade has transformed the community -- alternately blame the attacks on the economy, unemployment and the debate over tough new immigration law in the border state of Arizona.

And although most of the suspects were described as young black men and investigated for bias crimes, a grand jury has indicted only one of seven people arrested on a hate-crime charge.

Here's the spin:

"Others say the Arizona law is stirring up a climate of intolerance, even these thousands of miles away."

"11 suspected anti-Hispanic bias attacks"

They won't address the attack as a "hate crime" because of the the color of the attackers. Priceless!!

Are we supposed to get all upset about this? Run around in circles over ‘racial hatred’? The MSM/power brokers selectively push their agenda yet the MSM will downplay a massive brawl on the Wash Metro subway, a killing spree at a wedding function in Buffalo and the racial murder of 8 whites in CT.

The MSM, multicultural pushers and PC crowd needs to get bent.

If it's "years-old tensions" how could Arizona's new immigration law have anything to do with it?

And add that climate change isn’t helping either....but it doesn’t have anything to do with black on “Hispanic” racism. That’s only for white people./s

Nah, they weren't AAs - they were conservative whites in blackface! Didn't you get the MSM/Journolist memo on the narrative we're supposed to be following? /sarc

According to the Media blacks and Hispanics can’t make decisions...it’s always the fault of someone else.

When it’s Black on Hispanic, the statistics show “hate crimes against Hispanics” with the perpetrator left out, so you’ll think it’s Whites.
When it’s Hispanic on Black, the perpetrators are magically changed into Whites, so Whites get the blame.

S.B. 1070 has nothing to do with these attacks. They are being carried out by Liberian immigrants (illegal and legal probably). They recognize the economic threat the illegal aliens from Mexico present. They are not fooled by so called “Black Leaders” who sell THEIR people out by telling them illegal aliens are good for them.

Youth unemployment rates in NYCthis summer ARE THE HIGHEST ON RECORD. (BLS.gov, ) It’s even more extreme for the young poor jobless in Staten Island due to the lack of public transportation.

The immigrants have literally fulfilled almost every part time and entry level job opportunity for the young folk in the borough.

There are now more foreign born residents in Richmond county than at any time since the Civil War, yet there hasn’t been much of any increase in infrastructure and social services etc. (census 2008 estimate)

It is already happening in Los Angeles. There are streets in Mexican neighborhoods where blacks can never walk on or they will be shot on sight by Mexican gangs. In neighborhoods where the Mexicans are more numerous, fights between black and Mexicans occur on a daily basis where the black student will be suspended and the Mexican student will get detention (lesser punishment) by the Mexican ethnic principal. In fact blacks are declining in CA as they flee the state for lack of jobs and unable to survive in neighborhoods controlled by Mexicans. Immigrants (legal and illegal) in NYC are more from Central America and South America, maybe they are less aggressive then their Mexican counterparts. But the day the Hispanic will pummel the Blacks are coming. IMHO it may be the factor that makes Blacks rethink support for the Dems because the Dems tend to lean toward the Hispanics (they see as the growing future voters) then blacks. RINO’s think it is important to pander to the Hispanic voters, I think with the coming conflict between Blacks and Hispanics, Dems will chose Hispanics and GOP may be able to pick up the Blacks once they figured out they have been screwed by the Dems.

Black's cannot commit hate crimes because they are on the top of the victim demographic hierarchy, next to homosexuals.
