Posted by Kriston Lewis on Mon Feb 7 23:07:34 2011, in response to Re: Texas GOP platform: criminalize gay marriage and ban sodomy, outlaw strip clubs and pornography, posted by JayZeeBMT on Mon Feb 7 22:41:33 2011. This happened a lot less than 20 years ago.An excerpt: Deep in Howard Beach, Queens, Kris Gounden has built up a beautiful home on a sprawling waterfront property where he lives with his wife and his four children. But Gounden is of Guyanese descent, and some of his white neighbors have undertaken a harassment campaign to run him out of the neighborhood, which became infamous for racism in the 1980s. Now there is a constant police presence outside his home in Hamilton Beach and a neighbor has been busted on felony hate-crime charges. Since he moved from Ozone Park in July last year, Gounden said he has put up with his next-door neighbors and their pals blocking his driveway, dumping garbage and urinating on his property - and logging daily complaints against him with city agencies. "He comes back with a baseball bat," Gounden said. "He said, 'F--k you, n----r. You don't belong in here. I will burn this house. I'll kill all of you.'" |
