Thomas Lopez-Pierre, who is running for the New York City Council, has done wrote a doozy of a letter about how he loves boning Jewesses (he doesn't say so, but it is totally because we got boobs), and once tried to slash the throats of some other black kids (with a broken bottle!) who were beating up some young Hasids and trying to steal off with their hats, and would like to remind us all that Jewishes have fought and died alongside African Americans for civil rights, and tons of other stuff!

The presumption is that this part of Harlem, with its beautiful old brownstone housing stock, will very soon get whiteified, with lots of<strike>Jews</strike> academics moving in. Goodbye illustrious history of black America; hello Whole Foods.
So this charming fellow with the Caribbean name, who is after the council seat of a guy who has been there for a decade and is pretty good at his job, despite being a Blah, is indulging in the time-honored political tradition of pandering. Only he can&#039;t seem to decide which interest group he is pandering to, and which one is the badguys. Mr. Lopez-Pierre? The bigotry is supposed to zip up the <i>back. </i>
(PS Andrew Goodman&#039;s mom is a longtime neighborhood activist in these parts, so that&#039;s probably what that&#039;s about. This corner of our town may be the only place in the USA where that name still carries a lot of water.)

Are you suggesting that their evilness might not have any connection to their religion / genealogy ??!?
You&#039;re protected from head injury, and you should feel protected from head injury!

If a shiksa is a gentile woman attracted to a Jewish man is there a corresponding term for fellows like Lopez-Pierre? Blicksa, perhaps?
