Sonny Carson Park Renaming Shelved, Racists Cry

Posted at 12:04 pm under Localized

Sonny Carson won’t be getting a Park named after him.

First, who is Sonny Carson?

Since his death in 2002, many New Yorkers may have forgotten just who Sonny Carson was. But his record of hate dates back to the contentious 1968 school strike on Ocean Hill-Brownsville, where he stood out for his demagoguery.

A decade later, he was convicted of kidnapping and attempted murder and served a stretch in prison.

Carson’s backers claim this is when he changed, devoting his life to fighting drugs and police brutality. But those who followed his career knew otherwise.

In 1990, Carson personally led the campaign of boycott and physical intimidation against Korean-owned delis in Brooklyn’s black neighborhoods, marching with signs that read, “Don’t Shop With People Who Don’t Look Like Us.”

Defy the boycott and you were spat upon and threatened: “In the future,” he said, “there’ll be funerals, not boycotts.”

A year later, he hailed the Crown Heights lynch mob that killed Hasidic scholar Yankel Rosenbaum, saying he was “very proud” of what had happened.

Accused of anti-Semitism, he replied: “I’m anti-white - don’t limit my anti’s to one group of people.”

Carson proved that when he mourned the death of Khalid Abdul Muhammad - a demagogue so odious even Louis Farrakhan disavowed him - by praising him as “a fighter.”

So let’s understand… A racist attempted murderer who praised a guy so radical that Farrakhan thought he was too much and who praised the murder of an innocent boy by a lynch mob of racist wilding thugs deserved a street named after him?

Who the hell would be behind something that utterly idiotic?

Charles Barron, for one. Surely you know the former black-panther who wants to slap white people in the face, you know, for his sanity? The same Charles Barron who warned police after the shooting of Saint Sean Bell that black people wouldn’t be unarmed for long? Yep, that Charles Barron.

Oh and Brooklyn Councilman Al Vann. Al Vann is a member of the Land Use Committee, the Zoning & Franchises Committee, and most astonishingly the Education Committee. And, he’s the Chairperson of the Community Development Committee.

Let me repeat that, for those of you who didn’t get it. He’s the Chairperson of the Community Development Committee. Now what in the hell is a guy who got his Master’s Degree in Education from Yeshiva University doing promoting an admitted racist and anti-semite to the level of naming a park after him? No one quite knows.

Kudos to Christine Quinn for standing up to the black lynch mob that formed at the Council hearings over this absolutely asinine idea and shame on the black “leaders” who thought that iconizing a piece of garbage like Sonny Carson would reflect well on the “community.”

Don Imus got fired for calling some ghetto-gold-wearing tissue-paper-feeling-having basketball players nappy-headed hoes. This guy tried to kill someone, admitted to being an anti-semite, praised the murder of a rabbinical student, and said he hates white people and he gets a park named after him.

Yep. Don Imus is the “real” problem, not a self-nihilistic culture of racist praising and murderer glorifying.
