Closing Bell: Ratner Gets Sued; Ward’s Doomed

"Campbell says that Ratner, Jay-Z and Barclays all stand to profit via Atlantic Yards “from the African Slave Trade and continue to profit from these gains, through a conspiracy dating back hundreds of years and continue to date to oppress Black people, enslave them, unlawfully deport them to all corners of the Earth.”

Yep, sound like an anti AY-er to me. And makes about as much sense.

OF COURSE his brownstone is NOT in Brooklyn.

I heard that Bruce's new brownstone is blighted and that if we demolish it and replace it with a 10 story Starbucks it will benefit the public. His neighbors said they don't mind.

I hear his mattresses are plush and stuffed with shredded Brooklyn taxpayer money.

4:31- NO it's not... A DONE DEAL.

Posted by: guest at February 25, 2008 7:15 PM

DUNG DEAL.

The more suing of these lame asses the better. I too would love to eminent domain his house and replace it with whatever he hates most...like unbondaged africans.

FYI:
Editor's Note: This story originally reported that the Clive Campbell who filed the claim was the real name of D.J. Kool Herc, a founder of hip hop. In fact, it is a different Clive Campbell. Mr. Campbell is a Brooklyn-based activist. The story has been corrected.

Twas not Kool Herc who sued the man.

A reparations suit will get tossed from the court. It's a waste of taxpayers' time and money, and that's that.

The successor-in-interest claim won't work.

This guy should consult with DDDB. I mean, they've been wildly successful fighting AY in the legal arena.

D-O-N-E-D-E-A-L!!!

I don't deserve shit, 12:32--I'm not black. I'm just calling out that tired assed "no Irish need apply" line. To even compare it is laughable. As are you.
