Spencerport's Racism exposed in the Urban Suburban Program

Yesterday, was perhaps one of the saddest days in Spencerport the towns history, as during the urban suburban hearing, the raw side of Spencerport's racism was fully exposed.  To review the Urban Suburban program is a state funded program that gives opportunity to minority students in the city school district to seek education at a suburban or higher performing district.  You might think what a great program that has no cost to the town taxpayer, increase diversity in the schools and allow other children an opportunity.  Apparently, there are people in Spencerport that oppose it.  Here is a story on the hearing here:
http://13wham.com//news/features/top-stories/stories/urban-suburban-proposal-stirs-up-controversy-18345.shtml?wap=0&app_data=%7B%22pi%22%3A%2242705_1418208271_1886727084%22%2C%22pt%22%3A%22twitter%22%7D

An 81 year old man threatened to not pay the taxes if this passed.  An 81 year old man currently benefiting from Medicare and Social Security was worried that some people might be living off his tax money.

One parent called up the Lonsberry show and was worried about a son or daughter not being able to make a sports team because of the Urban Suburban program (that was a fairly racist observation).
The quotes seemed to come from Montgomery Alabama 1963.

Here is another beauty:
Spencerport District is for people who live here. If they want to go to school here, they can buy a house here,” The shorter version of this quote is "Whites only"

"Forced Diversity is not a good thing"  No, that did not come from George Wallace it was a Spencerport parent's quote.

So ends the day for Spencerport, that will now carry the stain of this hearing for years to come and be known as the most racist town in Monroe County.

Top Ten Reasons Lacrosse SUCKS

Had enough of those arrogant Lacrosse players.  Here are ten reasons lacrosse sucks and is the stupidest sport in America   10.  The Sport is whiter then snow.  1.9% of the players playing at Division one schools are minorities.  It is almost like non athletic whites found a loophole and a sport they can excel at, without having to worry about "brown" players showing them up. 9. Its not played in 75% of the country, high schools do not have this sport in most of the south and west.  Lacrosse is played in the pockets of upstate NY, Virginia, Maryland and some areas of California. 8.  You cannot see the stupid ball, try watching a game, you though trying to follow a hockey puck was hard. 7.  The players constant have their sticks with them, do football players wear their helmets, do basketball players dribble basketballs in the hall? No.  6.  The Jerseys, they look like football jerseys, its like saying we are football players only with smaller penises.  I mean a psych

Is Richard Davis from Flip this House Broke?

Richard Davis came hard charging into the American viewing public in 2007 as the star of the television show Flip This House.  The show featured Richard flipping houses for a profit with the help of his lovely assistant Ginger.  A lot has changed since that TV show, for one Richard married Ginger, after divorcing his wife. Richard sued A and E and won a 4 million dollar verdict.  He then launched a competing show on TLC, which failed miserably. But recently, it appears Richard and his company Trademark properties has fallen on hard times.  He was recently sued by a real estate agent for trying to nudge him out of a restaurant deal: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20111208/PC1602/312089885 The real interesting segment of the lawsuit is where, the real estate agent contends that Richard Davis and Trademark Properties have outstanding liens and are in serious debt.  You might think this is just ramblings of a lawsuit.  Except, read this lawsuit against him from Wells Fargo, a
