Mr. Curtis, prior to being charged with this offence, rounded up several permenant and temporary city employee's in an attempt of retaliation toward the Black community. He and his cohorts conspired against a Black veteran crew leader, with racial allegations against him. Any person that is sympathetic with Mr. Curtis, rather white or black, consents to supremacist objectives.

What he did was wrong, and in no way am i defending it, but to react the people are reacting is just giving that message of hate power, if no one reacted to it then acts of this sort would not continue in the future because people who come up with these lame brain ideas of supremacy would be powerless. The reason these acts continue is because people have negative reactions to them which in turn gives them power.

Blacks need to look around and see that it isn't the whites that are racists. As usual they have overreacted and are making a big deal out of nothing. Get a life people.

I'm so sick of racism remarks and people being in the news. Not so much that they are making it a big story but the fact they make it as if whites are the only people being racist. You never see any blacks on the news for being racist when there are just as many blacks that are racist as whites. In my opinion the news is being racist by only showing the whites. These blacks need to stop acting like its always whites, cuz it's not.....never has been. Stop trying to cry racism all the time, cuz you do it yourself. thats a BIGOT!!

This law was designed for acts such as bombing Black churches by know hate groups. The D.A. was probably afraid of bad media if he failed to apply the law. This is one reason tax payers are tapped-out around here. Courts,Judges,Legal defense, etc. it don't come cheap.

Supremacist objectives? Hanging a "whites only" sign? Is there any proof of this conspiracy theorey that he tried to assemble a coalition to use racial slurs?

There would be no outcry for a "blacks only" sign being posted. NONE!!!!

Maybe I should start some lawsuits against all the black patient's I've picked up in my ambulance that called me "white devil, blue eyed, honkey MF'r". I should be able to sue and win milions. Maybe billions. Oh, my skin is thicker then paper and I can take it so I guess not.

Also my skin is the wrong color to ever bring or win a racism lawsuit.

The FBI statistics state black on white race crime is 3000% greater then white on black but you never hear it reported.

Why???

Erie county is one of the most segregated areas in the US. Once you leave the city the black population stops at Pine ridge.
I can count the amount of black kids on one hand that are going to suburb schools , except for West Seneca East because of the
apartments on French Road. Maybe that's a good thing with the way they are shooting each other in the city. Quit having 7 to 10 kids for the sake of free
money and health care and you may be you will able to keep a eye on your kids and get them educated.

Even today it's hard to imagine the hate coming from these forums.
wow dudes...
A felony? a bit much, yes...
Had it been reversed? everyone would have laughed.. we wouldn't have even heard about it..
However.. one or two idiots do not represent an entire population.
This idiot doesn't represent me any more than the crack heads by Pine represent the entire black community.

I was friends with a black female and who was boss for 28 yrs. I told her a story about another white woman who called me A N***** LOVER and when this woman, who by the way has a very big hack job at the court system, wanted to fire me after 30 yrs, because she was cowardfor the white man, nd I filed with the Inspector General for discrimination in that courthouse, this black woman turned the story completely around and told the court investigators for the OIG, that I called her the N*****!

So, did this balck woman get fired, arrested or charged with perjury, because the Oig use under oath testimony for their investigations..........ABSOLU TELY NOT...SHE IS STILL A HGIHLY PAID COURT SUPERVISOR!

But the story has not ended yet..it is in federal court and that lie will be a big part of this case. I say if that man is charged..so should this black woman be...and let the consequences fall for blacks as they do for whites...and I still love my black friends, even though this ONE black deliberately told a lie to get me fired...for reasons..still unknown after a long and close 28 yr friendship!

Who cares what happens in Niagara Falls? It's such a backward mentality, so as not to say a profanity.

Wait until the Niagara Six gets their day in court.

Niagara Falls is on the hook for millions because they didn't deal with a hate/discrimmination problem going back more than 10 years ago.

Face the facts Niagagra Falls is run by a bunch of lawbreakers and the taxpayers will have to pay for their doings.

All you people have been getting away with your racism from the beginning of time, my how funny it is when the tables turn. Just hold on because the best is yet to come. Your just upset because your not getting away with your BS anymore. How many blacks do you catch hanging up racist signs. And honestly you keep talking about our neighborhoods, I've lived in your drug infested suburbs. It's absolutely sickening. I've also witnessed your people coming to the inner city to purchase drugs. So do us a favor and worry about your own problems. You all are so quick to point the finger. You have just as many welfare recipients and drug addicts. Do the math.

so we've been racist from the beginning of time?
how do you explain the fact that many tribal chiefs in Africa SOLD SOME OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE to the slavers?
oh ho, you like to sweep that fact under the rug, don't you.
And of course, the chiefs wouldn't sell productive members of their tribe, they sold the village idiots.
Therein lies the problem in modern day America. We are dealing with the descendents of the village idiots that were bred together in the slave days to produce more idiots. The slave owners wanted brute strength and no brains. So they picked the ones with muscles, but no brains and bred them to others with muscles and no brains.

This is why they still haven't learned how to fend for themselves more than 150 years after the slaves were freed. They are incapable of learning how to be civilized.
You can throw millions of more dollars in gov't programs at them, come into their neighborhoods with sweep up crews and paint up crews, and when the crews leave, the neighborhoods will look filthy again in one week. They don't want a clean neighborhood. Or else they would pick up a broom and sweep it.
They don't want houses that look nice. Otherwise, they wouldn't be breaking the windows.
They are a lost cause. They should be wiped out. But they are wiping themselves out. Their shooters are getting younger and younger.
They are now targeting their own children. Good, let them kill each other off.
