Dutch magazine called Rihanna "ultimate niggabitch"

brought to you by the country that celebrate the racist holiday blackpete/zwarte pete/sinterklass  and beat up and arrest black protesters that are against this racism








(lady in black and white stripe shirt is Eva Hoeke  she quits from the magazine)



In an article published in the latest issue of Dutch fashion magazine Jackie, the magazine offers a little advice on how to dress like Rihanna without looking like the “ultimate niggerbitch.” That’s right. No typo there. Check out the full English translation below:

“She has street cred, she has a ghetto ass and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate niggabitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it. But Dutch winters aren’t like Jamaican ones, so pick a clothing style in which your daughter can resist minus ten. No to the big sunglasses and the pornheels, and yes to the tiger print, pink shizzle and everything that glitters. Now let’s hope she won’t beat anybody up at daycare.”
Two hours ago, Jackie Editor in Chief Eva Hoeke posted the below apology on the magazine’s Facebook page:
Dear readers,
First: thanks for all your responses. We are of course very fed up over this and especially very
shocked. However I’m glad that we’re engaging in a dialogue on this page — not everybody does
that. Thanks for this. Other than that I can be brief about this: this should have never happened.
Period. While the author meant no harm — the title of the article was intended as a joke — it was a bad joke, to say the least. And that slipped through my, the editor-in-chief’s, fingers. Stupid, painful and sucks for all concerned. The author has been addressed on it, and now I can only ensure that these terms will no longer end up in the magazine. Furthermore I hope that you all believe there was absolutely no racist motive behind the choice of words. It was stupid, it was naive to think that this was an acceptable form of slang — you hear it all the time on tv and radio, then your idea of what is normal apparently shifts — but it was especially misguided: there was no malice behind it. We make our magazine with love, energy and enthusiasm, and it can sometimes happen that someone is out of line. And then you can only do one thing: apologize. And hope that others wish to accept it.
From the bottom of my heart I say it again: we never intended to offend anyone. And I mean that.
Regards,
Eva Hoeke
So, as editor in chief, Hoeke had no idea that this was offensive before running it and actually considered it a joke? In addition to being blatantly racist, calling Rihanna Jamaican (she’s from Barbados) and actually suggesting that mothers should dress their daughters like her, this article is just wrong from every angle.
According to our source in Holland, Jackie is a well known local fashion publication with a circulation of 57,700 copies per month.

Offensive racist chant leads to suspension of entire hoops team

link

An entire varsity girls basketball team in the Buffalo area has been suspended after its use of a racial slur as part of a pregame chant led to an in-school fight involving the team's only African-American member.

As reported by the Buffalo News and NBC affiliate WGRZ, among other sources, at least 12 members of the Kenmore (N.Y.) East High girls basketball team were suspended for their use of a pregame chant in the locker room that included the most offensive racial epithet associated with African-Americans. According to the News, the team would chant "One, two, three [N-word]" just before leaving the locker room.
When the team's only African-American member, Tyra Batts, voiced her concern about the chant, teammates told her that the use of the slur was a team tradition, and that they were not willing to stop using it. For the record, Batts said the team's coach, Kristy Bondgren, had heard comments in practice referring to her race but that Bondgren was unaware about the team's pregame chant.
"I said, 'You're not allowed to say that word because I don't like that word,'" Batts told the News in a home video she submitted to the newspaper. "They said, 'You know we're not racist, Tyra. It's just a word, not a label.' I was outnumbered."
Yet, as long as the chant continued, so did Batts' frustration and anger. Eventually, following weeks of other racially inappropriate references -- teammates allegedly made jokes referencing slavery, shackles and picking cotton -- a teammate used another disgusting racially insensitive insult, calling Batts a "black piece of [expletive]." That's when Batts could take it no longer and was involved in a fight on school grounds with the teammate who hurled the insult.
"It was a buildup of anger and frustration at being singled out of the whole team," Batts told the News.
Because of school rules, Batts had to be suspended for her involvement in the fight, as was the other girl involved in the fight. She was banned for five days, though she could have been suspended for longer for her role in the altercation. That changed because she told administrators of the reasons for her frustration, and her suspension was immediately shortened while Kenmore officials investigated the claims of racism.
When they discovered that the chant had indeed been used, the school swiftly suspended at least 12 members of the team for two days a piece on the grounds that the chant was a violation of the school's code of conduct. The school board also canceled all team practices for a week, canceled a scheduled team bonding trip and scheduled a mandatory cultural sensitivity training session for the entire team. The superintendent of the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda School District also unilaterally rescinded a league-wide sportsmanship award which had been awarded to the school in 2010.
"The insensitive chant is absolutely unacceptable, insensitive and not representative of the diverse student body within the ... school district," Mark Mondanaro, the Kenmore superintendent, told the News. "[The pregame chant was] wrong, unacceptable, unfortunate and will never, ever be tolerated."

There's little question that officials reacted swiftly when they became aware that the racist chant was being used, but that hardly mitigates the fact that it was used in the first place, and that it appears to have been for some time. Add to that the fact that only two of Batts' teammates have apologized for their use of the slur, and the teenager's father was left to openly wonder whether the program -- which is situated in a town whose population is 97 percent white -- has quietly been fostering a culture of racism for longer than anyone realized.
"This wasn't something that just developed this year," said Raymond Batts Jr., Tyra's father. "This is something that's been ongoing for quite some time."

NYPD cop Michael Daragjati taped making racial slurs about black man; accused of false arrest

source


"I fried another n-----."
That's how racist NYPD cop Michael Daragjati described falsely charging  a black man with resisting arrest on Staten Island, authorities said Monday.
"Another n----- fried, no big deal," crowed  Daragjati, according to a transcript of a phone conversation  intercepted by the feds.
Daragjati, who is white, is charged with violating the unnamed man's civil rights by fabricating the charges because he mouthed off about being stopped and frisked by the cop last April.
The incident is believed to be racially-motivated because Daragjati used the n-word repeatedly in the monitored phone calls.
The complaint, unsealed in Brooklyn Federal Court, does not specify who was the target of the monitoring.
Daragjati, 32, was assisgned to plainclothes anti-crime patrol when he stopped the man  on Targee St. and rougly frisked him, the complaint states.
When the man complained about his treatment and asked for the cop's name and badge number, he was allowed to walk away. But  after he  shouted insults back at the officer,  Daragjati crossed  the street and cuffed  him.
Daragjati swore out a complaint in Staten Island Criminal Court falsely claiming the man had pushed and kicked him and "flail his arms" to prevent being arrested.
Several other officers had witnessed the arrest in which the man offered no resistence. The victim pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct on the advice of his lawyer.
"The power to arrest...must be used fairly, responsibly and without bias," said Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch. "Motivated by racial aniumus, the defendant allegedly abused this power and responsibility."
Daragjati was also charged with insurance fraud in connection with his off-duty snow removal business and the beatdown of a victim he suspected of stealing a piece of snowplow equipment.
NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly praised the feds' handling of the case.
