The parade is just one day. That pig has that attitude towards minorities during every single one of his/her shifts as an NYPD officer. Do you think it's possible for someone who thinks like that to put it to the side and treat people impartially? I doubt it.

"Who are the bigger racists? Black people or white people?"
Everyone has prejudices. White officers hate blacks, black officers hate latinos, latino officers hate asians, Asian officers hate gays, gay officers hate females, female officers hate males ... have we come full circle yet? Still, they manage to work together, in hating the skeeves of all races, genders & orientations, as well as politicians & their own bosses.
A person's racist beliefs are an issue when they are in a position of power to abuse, without fear of repercussion, the people they have those racist feelings about.
I don't care if Joe Blow from Mahopac can't stand the coloreds and thinks we are scum. Joe Blow's racism becomes an issue when he takes his racist, evil self to work and decides to mess with minorities because of his beliefs. What Joe Blow the racist perceives as innocent behavior from "his own kind" always turns into something nefarious and warrants extreme measures when it's from one of those people.
That's the problem.
Skeeves of all races? Sure and conveniently the Joe Blow type of cop tend to think that all minorities are skeeves until proven otherwise.
Black & Hispanic people abuse non-Hispanic whites without repercussions? Aside from O.J (And they got him in the end) where is this happening?

As usual, I defer to CR on this subject:

Try again. I said that many black & latino police officers are racists or bigots themselves. Also, sexist & homophobic. The only police officer who's going to call a black thug a ****** to his face, is a black officer.
You do know that there is a difference between calling someone a name and beating/tasing/shooting them right?
As I stated before where is the abuse towards whites from minorities ( in law-enforcement) with ZERO repercussions occuring in America? I think I might have heard of one case in Utah that is still under investigation?
You do use a comedian's 10-year-old stand-up as a reference so I guess I'm expecting too much?

^^I am literally cracking up at the above, because I had no idea that half naked black women with butterfly wings shaking their assets along the street could stir up all this "rape and pillage" fantasies. LMAO!!
The Labor Day Parade is a "conservative" version of Carnivals done all over the world.
We won't even discuss what goes on at carnival time in New Orleans. LOLOLOL!!!
Geez, anyone read newsweek? In terms of that so called parade. If that was Columbus or Steuben day acting that way. There would be no permits allowed. Progress has been made. Only 2 or 3 people were murdered. Geez.
There was a murder in the very early morning hours of the day of the parade.
What happened during the actual parade?

You know what I always find funny is how the NYPD thinks that by hiring tons of minorities their actions will mitigate racist issues that persist within the police force, as if Blacks, Latinos and Asians have NEVER been racist. It's a fallacy to believe that only White people are and can be racist. I think the thought process is that since Whites enslaved people during the period of slavery that their racism is somehow "more dangerous", but for what it's worth you had Blacks enslaving other Blacks based on "superior/inferior" ideology, so in short, it goes to show that people of all races can and are racist.

Everyone has skeletons in their closet, but some groups don't like to admit them and would rather find excuses for them. It's easier to escape responsibility than to accept it.

Nothing. People had a GOOD TIME like you're SUPPOSED TO DO at this parade.
If you want to be bored to tears, then there are those OTHER parades in the city, even though one in particular always has people acting like drunken fools urinating, vomiting, fighting and groping women in the street with hardly any arrests made.
We won't say "which" parade that is though.
