Racism At Bronx Woodlawn Cemetery Must Go!

The Band of Brothers fighting racism and discrimination at Woodlawn Cemetery have gained support and solidarity from unions and community groups in the Bronx and beyond. Public pressure is increasing on the Woodlawn Board of Directors to end abuse directed against Latino and African American workers who refuse to tolerate racial slurs like 'nigger' and 'spic' and 'spear chucker'.

@amazingaro I grew up in this neighborhood, too and there is a lot I treasure about growing up with the Irish even though I'm not Irish. Hatred for any national group or race just plays into the hands of the bosses. We have to get together.

Why do you think the Irish do not want blacks and hispanics? Because they destroy all of their neighborhoods they take over. Just look at Fordham area, used to be a nice Italian place now its a dump. Bainbridge used to be all Irish, now look at it. Woodlawn is the last Irish haven in the Bronx so let them have it. Im from an Irish town in Rockland county and am in the Bronx often at Gaelic Park at Manhattan College and cannot stand what has happened to nice Irish areas of the city.

The protestants are ethnically cleansing the Catholics again. That lady is making a mockery of true Christian faith by wearing that roman collar. She has no right to wear that. The black protestants control vast areas of the city, are in every city, have 10 radio stations that play their music butt he Irish Catholics can't have one neighborhood. Don't their ruling class bosses love it that they are continuing the ethnic cleansing on Catholics in America.

[TrueNovice]

It's like a black klan rally trying to drive all the white people out of the city. They really hate whitey.

@amazingaro cause it sells irish style food you dumb fucking cunt

[samynonthegreen]

This guys ethnic groups has been part of a vast ethnic cleansing- neighborhood after neighborhood cleansed of their Catholic ethnic residents. Federally funded housing projected and foundation money flushed out these Catholics ethnics because they were growing in power in the cities. Now they cling to just a few neighborhoods and the ethnic cleansing useful idiots of the ruling class are at it again.
