What Was Eugene's LPC Vote Worth? $409,000

Remember the flap earlier this week about how Council Member Mathieu Eugene was opposing the creation of the Ocean on the Park Historic District because he wanted to hook up the owner of one of the twelve houses who was hoping to cash out to a developer? As we all know, Eugene cracked under a wave of public protest and decided to support the landmarking effort. And what about the poor owner whose backroom politicking ultimately failed? Well, with hopes of a tear-down dashed, he just slashed the asking price of his house at 189 Ocean Avenue by 26 percent from $1,599,000 to $1,190,000. Anyone care to cop to a little schadenfreude?

Indeed they were- but if I’m not mistaken, there probably isn’t a human on the planet who hasn’t descended from ancestors on the African Continent. My own ancestry is Middle Eastern Semitic, Russian and Cossack. I also made the mistake of generalizing about Arabs and Islam (replying to this sentence:”But hold on.. Most people that practice Judaism is not Semite. If walk into a arab store and look at them they are Semite.”) and which was a totally nonsensical sentence.-But in making a point- I let expediency take precedence. I do know better.
Very true 6 yrs. In addition, the majority of the people who practice Islam are not Arab. Also ancient Jews were not Black especially because the term didn’t exist until recently. FWIW, continental Africans don’t generally think of themselves as Black either but instead see themselves as belonging to various ethnic groups which often times cross the geopolitical country boundaries but many ancient Jews were clearly dark skinned people with Africans among them.
What, I feel no need to cite chapter and verse to you on my record of controversial race/class posts. Find them yourself, if you need to.
As someone who’s entire internet “fame” and fan base is totally propped up by the largesse of Jon, who certainly has had more than enough good reasons to ban you for life, but has chosen not to, I wouldn’t talk about whose head is where.
“brownstoner threads sure do make strange bedfellows at times :)”
DIBS wins quote of the century. Never have I seen Benson and What on the same side of anything. Strange days…
bye, What. Hope you can find the door because we know which ass your head is up (it isn’t Jon’s, mine or MM’s).
“f you don’t want a reaction, send him a private email. But the lie is- you do want a reaction -you love getting a reaction. Otherwise you wouldn’t be doing it publically, would you?”
Great and when you attack me I will open up and hit back!
“When there IS class and race crap going on on Brownstoner, I’ll be there to say so, and have in the past, and taken lumps from it from people who generally agree with me on other issues.”
When Morris, when??????? You have your head shoved up Jon’s ass because he gave you a “little space” on this blog!
Ok Guys Have a wonderful week end….
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Nice post, Montrose.
six years- you’re absolutely right- I’m guilty of oversimplifying to make a point to the What.
“Oh now everyone is PC but when Brownstoner post crap on Covert Race/Class warfare I don’t hear a f***** peep out of no one!!!!!”
I guess you’ve never bothered to read what either MM or myself have ever posted then because we have commented many many times but you’re too involved in establishing your brand of ABM to bother to pay attention to what anyone else says. In fact MM has been accused for bringing racism where supposedly none exists- so stop the whining and carrying on about how no one cares but you. (off meds again?)
You bet Jon can defend himself- but as I’ve told you many times before. If you don’t want a reaction, send him a private email. But the lie is- you do want a reaction -you love getting a reaction. Otherwise you wouldn’t be doing it publically, would you?
You know you’ve won when your opponent can’t come up with anything more pithy and challenging than F*@K you.
When there IS class and race crap going on on Brownstoner, I’ll be there to say so, and have in the past, and taken lumps from it from people who generally agree with me on other issues. I don’t have a problem with that. But when it’s not there, I see no reason to invent it. The What definitely has a valuable place here for a couple of reasons, but his word is not the sacred writ, and when he’s way off base, I call ’em as I see ’em.
