“No African Americans please only limited quantities that have brains

and can actually do a day’s work. Damn!!
http://nypost.com/2013/09/17/tennis-security-execs-racist-e-mails/
<snip>
An exec at the firm that handles security for the US Open tennis tournament in Queens is a raging racist who has it in for black people, shocking e-mails obtained by The Post reveal.

Scott Dennison, 56, a VP for special events at Contemporary Services Corp., repeatedly used the N-word and called blacks “scum suckers” and “worthless” in the correspondence, some of which he sent through his CSC e-mail account.

“No African Americans please only limited quantities that have brains and can actually do a day’s work,” Dennison wrote on Oct. 1, 2009, in reference to recruiting potential employees for the prestigious tennis tourney, whose women’s title was won by top-ranked Serena Williams this month.

In another vicious e-mail, Dennison discussed sending a “world renowned” German-shepherd trainer to Boston to check out a dog to replace one that had died.

“If he likes what he sees he will fly the Dog to Denver. There he will do a great deal of bite work, off leash training and some n—-r eating exercises,” he wrote on July 14, 2011.

Read on for what he had to say about President Obama and Rev Al.

Good effin' grief.

Article didnt say whether they fired his ass.

The guy is such an unbashfully outspoken racist, that his bosses have got to have known about it all along.
So fuck his bosses too.

Except, like his employee said: "Who is stupid enough to put that stuff in writing?"

Since O took office they're coming out of the woodwork with their racism — i.e. the teabaggers, et al.

So many times workplace discrimination (such as racial discrimination) is strongly suspected but never explicitly stated. Harassment and bigoted attitudes are almost always stated verbally and never in writing.

So when someone finds the treasure trove of a racist employer actually admitting to racism in writing, it's like finding the holy grail.

if someone else sucks, they're superior. I think diversity scares the hell out of some people and
they lose their deluded sense of distinction from the rest of the population. Look at how these
assholes talked about putting up electric fences on the boarder to keep immigrants out..I mean,
really, wtf? They scare themselves about resources...don't take my job, you dirty.....fill in blank.

Racism is about power, that is the precursor to considering having a dog trained to bite their fellow man.

Sad and I will add I hope this piece of shit gets sued..big time.

jokers like him seem to mainly vent their hatred towards Blacks while they do it to a lesser degree towards other races/ethnicities. So far, I have seen not only this article, but also countless rantings online from the likes of Limbaugh, Nugent, Coulter, Hannity, and O'Reilly against us, in addition to the Internet trolls and their usual presentations of stereotypes about how we supposedly all speak in Ebonics, drink Kool Aid, and eat fried chicken. Everything I see from them is about Black people. Why are the bigots in this country so obsessed with us in particular?

African Americans were the group that was fighting for civil rights when they were little bigots just learning how to be big bigots. None of the other minorities had the visibility of the civil rights movement at that time. Even if other minorities were a part of it, they don't stick in the mind like MLK does.

They learned it when they were kids, and if they were capable of grasping new ideas, they wouldn't be bigots in the first place.

Rap music, Twerking, Ratched "culture", etc...

The things the vast majority of Americans see about us, is what's put out for entertainment and "news".
While in reality, most of us are looking to get ahead by going to work. Living relatively normal, drama-free lives.

It's just too easy, to poke at people's preconceived notions of us to make their "case".

That said, I really hope they never catch fire, cause I don't know of even one POC that would even piss on them to help.

while other groups are professional rivals or business partners. Insulting those groups could have career damaging consequences. And the GOP has written off black voters for voting almost entirely for Democrats. Plus there is a tendency for many black people to live in black neighborhoods regardless of income or anything else. Other ethnic groups have often integrated more deeply into white neighborhoods. My people (Indian) are everywhere.

And then there are latinos. They think most must be illegals but they want to at least try for their votes anyway since they are a large enough electorate.

They're still upset that I turned out to reject this and most of the other shit they believe. Of course they're all Rs, and when they have dinner with church folks, it's an echo chamber-- unless one of the few church members who are ppl of color are in attendance, then it's all about th' evil libruls, as they can all agree on that.

He's honest and open. He does not pull punches and says it like he sees it.

Much better than the closet racist. They will hamstring you, stab you in the back, all with a phony smile and a handshake. Those asses are cowards.

This fuck'o I can deal with. It's those slimy assholes that are harder to spot.
