'I was robbed, beaten and mocked for being white': Man's viscious 'racial attack' on New York subway
Daily Mail ^ | 7/18/11 | Daily Mail Reporter

Posted on 07/18/2011 5:08:14 PM PDT by Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears

A New York man was beaten and robbed on a subway train yesterday by four men who he claims picked on him because he is white.

Jason Fordell, 29, of Brooklyn, was on his way home at 5am from an East Village nightclub, where he sells hand-designed leather accessories, when he was affronted by a gang of black men.

Police said four young men began harassing him and then another passenger joined in the spontaneous attack.

Mr Fordell said: 'Everyone on the train was egging them on.

'People started saying stupid little comments - cracker this, white boy this, f*** this.'

He told the New York Daily News: 'I told them the only reason they were saying this is there was four of them and one of me.

'I'm a small little white kid with long hair. They got guys three times my size threatening me.

He added: 'I was in a headlock, punched and kicked on the floor.

You’re dealing almost exclusively with reflectance in nature so, no. What is true of printing is true of nature in general. Only with backlit, luminant subject matter would the inverse be true.

Goetz also found out that while it may solve certain problems, it is just the beginning of others.

That said, if I was about to be set upon by 4 big black guys I’d want my problem solver along. And his friend.

Concealed Carry is the answer. Put two in the chest of the first one and you’ll probably not have to use any more ammo. You might want to but you won’t have to. Unless, of course, you still “feared for your life” (and had plenty of ammo left).

well, whether or not black and white are colors, one thing is for sure: there are niggers and there is white trash and color has very little to do with which is which -- that's just semantics.

Malevolence is color blind.

“Black is not a color, white is a color. Black is the absence of color.

Whites are the real “Colored people”. ;>)”

Well, if you want to get technical, caucasions are the only race that have hair colors from blonde, to red, to every color in between, and have eye colors from blue to green to hazel to grey...everybody else has brown eyes and brown hair (unless they have mixed blood)...

In fact my eye color depends on the weather, the terrain. And what I’m wearing...they can be blue, green, or grey...though after a few late nights can be red roo (lol)

“Facebook profile, seems like a fairly normal guy into his leather work and camping”

Thanks for doing the research most of the driveby types here seem to be unwilling to do..

Have to chuckle at one of his “likes” though.

About 40 years ago, I taught in an all black school up north. I went to a paint store and got a chip that matched the skin on my arm. I asked the kids what color it was and they said it was tan or light brown. I said, no, it was white. They said, man, you crazy! I put it on my arm and it was a perfect match. Then I told them, hey, I guess I’m NOT white!

I don’t think the kids got it, but it was fun for me. That was the only fun I had in three years trying to teach there. I quit after paying my “white folks hepping the poe boolacks” dues.

I think I was actually “Sonoran Beige” or some crap like that.

I hate it when black people call adult white men “white boy.”


I got annoyed when a black TSA agent called this upper-40s professional “young man.”

So he's a racist then.

I salute him for trying to make a living. He sells leather accessories--nothing wrong in that. To look at him, I wouldn't want my daughter coming home with him, mostly because she's only five, but he might be a decent guy. Too bad he is living amongst ferals in a liberal state. Hope they get the mob that did it--they could have killed him.
