BEAT: My town is racist
 

I'm at the York Interstate Fair (pennsylvania) checking out the winning art exhibits and saw something that made me spit milk out of my nose (note: I wasn't drinking milk.)

The first place drawing in the young adult category was a cartoon of a person in blackface wearing a t-shirt with a slice of watermelon on it.

I was like "WTF!! Didn't anyone notice this?" Then I realized, oh yeah, it's York County, it's probably why it won in the first place.

NOTE: I took a picture, but I was assured by kyleb that he'd take exactly 1.5 seconds to ban me if I posted it. I had pm'd Dids, but of course that girl didn't respond.

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

I probably wouldn't ban you for this.

God I hate PMs. Just use your best judgment next time, if that gets you in trouble, well then you've got [censored] judgment and deserved to be banned.

Just link it inline and note that it might be offensive.

But some migrants who do get over the initial problems say they are facing a growing tide of racism in the town.

That is borne out by recent anti-migrant letters in Boston newspapers, fights which break out sporadically between locals and Portuguese or other foreign youths and an attack on a Turkish club.

An anti-migrant campaign group, Boston Citizens United, has also been set up.

Sergio Magalhaes says he and friends have all been the target of abuse from some locals.

"If you are in the streets at night, either alone or with friends, they will shout at you and those sort of things," he said.

Local businessman Vasco de Mello who owns a bar and employment agency in the town believes he has also suffered due to racism, with false complaints about him and his businesses made to the council.

"I can't say it's only racial problems because some people are very jealous but it's not everyone, I have some very good English friends" Mr de Mello said.

But in Boston's bustling market place, opinions on the newcomers appears divided.

"There aren't enough jobs for local people never mind bringing them in," said one middle-aged woman.

But local factory worker, Barry White, said he had no problems with the Portuguese.

"I don't mind the migrant workers coming in providing they're from the EEC because we're all part of Europe.

" But I do get annoyed at the people skipping into this country who have no right and are just coming here for a gravy ticket," he said.

York Pennsylvania.

The northern part of the co. is the home to the American Nazi party. We've had crosses burnt in our area within the last ten years.

We're also proud to have Dover in our confines. Dover tried to put Intelligent Design into the school curriculum and it was pwned by a federal judge (appointed by King Bush) who said, basically, that they were a bunch of ignorant yokels (note: they are.)

In '04 my car was vandalized because it had a Kerry sticker on it.

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

upon further review of the detail, this drawing is a lot more racist than i first thought

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

LOL thats awsome.

They scraped off my sticker then punched a hole in the bumper. Ironically, they also tore off the american flag I was flying in the window.

News at 11: Somewhere in redneck America live ignorant racists.

Btw, whilst im here, if youve never watched a film called "Confederate States of America" hunt it down via amazon or some other method if it has never been released on dvd.

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

if all you see is the racism in this picture, you dont "get it".

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

The image itself isn't as racist as the fact that it won something. That's just scary.

I mean the fence is pretty money though.

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

It's stupid that pics like this are considered racist but a movie like "White Chicks" isn't.

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

plz plz plz don't turn this into a politics thread

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
 

Sorry. It's just something that drives me crazy.

I won't continue.

Re: BEAT: My town is racist
