Not sure what's worse in this thread the pointless fearmongering or the casual racism. This forum really can be a cesspool sometimes.

No that was payback from the Detroit auto unions.

Is that a new PC term? Can you define that for me in context to this thread. You do not have to use it in a sentence though.

Bringing up WWII in the context of the Earthquake/Tsunami/nuclear crisis is not "racism"..it's knuckle dragging insensitive nationalist stupidity, not really racism.

ps- I thought Fisher's Island was Suffolk?
Yes, Fishers Island, just off the coast of New London, CT, is in the Town of Southold in Suffolk County.

At the same time, as far as I know, BNL is not in Shoreham or even in East Shoreham; BNL is in Yaphank ("Upton, NY 11973" mailing address).

Nothing..but he needs to express his white man's guilt.

Of course, if the same thing was said if this happened in Germany...no body would say a thing about racism.

Fair enough. I'll save the racism accusations for the illegal immigrant 'they took our jerbs!!" threads.

Jeez - you running for office or something? Lighten up. And don't tell me when you get together with your friends you don't make racist jokes with each other like everyone else on the planet does. No one here is looking to start an ethnic cleansing movement so, relax.
