For the record they'd have to close my business if a he said/she said case caused me a $25,000 fine. No chance in hell I'm paying. New corporation under a new name + new paperwork = new business and ********* race baiters.
I've been to Italy numerous times. Have you been to Naples? Do you know how many black people are born and live there? I grew up in an Italian neighborhood. The local dentist was a black man and us Italians went to him. Yes, we even let him in our homes .
Other than this one incident I don't ever recall a racial issue taking place in middle village. Go shop at metro mall and you will see many black shoppers there going about their business comfortably with no problem. Yet people always claim it is a racist neighborhood just because it is one of the last italian neighborhoods left in this city.

Metro Mall is a bad example. Let's try one of the mom-n-pops along Metropolitan. Just being honest.

Would you really feel uncomfortable buying a bagel, or a slice of pizza, or steaks from the butcher, or a pastry from a bakery on metro? I don't think it's like that. News like this makes people think the worst of a neighborhood. It's bad press that both the residents, and especially other small business owners, rather live without.

So why not use that as your example instead of Metro Mall?
At the end of the day, let's be honest. We're talking about very insular neighborhoods here. Hell, to this day I won't drink in the west end bars in Rockaway. Had 1 racist incident and that's all it took for me.
