Where do the scum like Boston Cop Justin Barrett and his WEEI broadcasting colleagues Dennis & Callahan …[read the Metco Gorrilla] and WTKK Jay Severin [ ‘AXE’ The Governor ] come from?
Do you learn this prejudice at the family dining room table or is it genetic?
Mayor Mennino thanks for throwing out the trash named Justin Barrett.
Please share widely!
Suddenly are governor is named Deval L’patrice and you’re upset about the French Revolution related slur?
WTTK FM 96.9 invites Governor Deval Patrick to host his own one hour talk program on the first Thursday of every month.
<
p>When the Governor first started, Jay Severin [ whose real name is James Severino] whose program followed the Governor would call that segment “AXE, The Governor” as if the Governor displayed the dipthong displacement common to some African-Americans who have difficulty pronouncing “s” sound in the word ‘ask‘.
<
p>Severin[o] if you are unaware is a raging right-wingnut .
SHould Harvard fire Prof Gates for insulting Sgt Crowley and calling him a racist for Crowley simply asking for Gates’ ID?
to be careful about hat they write since they may get fired if the City finds out about “unacceptable” “opinions”.
<
p>Where are the “defenders of free speech”? Where are the bloggers who even recently wrote on BMG about the government invading our personal lives and taking away our freedoms? Where are all the people who were upset about Uncle Sam reading our emails or tapping our phones looking for terrorists but are ok with firing a person for making a slur against a “public” person.
<
p>What does the list look like for “acceptable” and “UNacceptable” slurs????
<
p>Ideology slur…fine.
Italian slur…fine.
Irish slur…fine.
Male slur…fine.
Political party…fine.
White trash slur… still fine.
Sexual promiscuity slur… still fine.
<
p>Race slur…”OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!!!!”
<
p>What does the law say about equal protection?????
Don’t get your sheet dirty with all the s*^# you are spewing
Heading to the Supreme Court. See my front-page post on this subject.
but he used the phrase “mackarel snapper” a while ago, which caused me to quickly respond with “faggot”. Both comments got zero-d into oblivion.
vs. my personal email system is gigantic. David… can delete my comments or close my account since they own and control this blog but firing a person because of a comment they made outside of work is simply unAmerican.
he sent the email from his boston police account.
And do you have a link? I’ve been trying to find out more about that issue, with little success.
My experience suggests the truth to the song from South Pacific: “You’ve got to be carefully taught…”
<
p>It’s definitely learned which is good because as attitudes evolve prejudice will get handed off to the next generation. The elementary school kids that I have taught see that we’ve elected a black man President and shrug. It doesn’t even occur to them that it should be a big deal. That to me is an example of how unprejudiced they are.
<
p>Do you know that famed Boston Theatre critic Elliot Norton advised lyricist Oscar Hammerstein and composer Richard Rogers that they should take out that song and those lyrics when they were previewing “South Pacific” in Boston in 1949 because they were in Boston.

p>Not much has changed in 60 years has it.
