Freehold : Where "Those " People Have a Certain Flavor

10:24 H | Topics: Controversia - New Jersey

Something in New Jersey stinks and it ain't garbage. It's the words of Freehold Councilman Marc LeVine.

In the web site of PEOPLE (Pressing Elected Officials to Preserve Our Living Environment), Councilman Mark LeVine wrote that there, "a very promiscuous flavor'' in parts of the Hispanic community, the Asbury Park Press reported.
LeVine went on to say that some of "these people'' often expect the state to subsidize their mistakes when they have large families that they can't afford to support.

When a politician speaks in terms of "these people" and paints a an ethnic population with one broad brush there's a problem. That problem is racism.

LeVine went on to write that the problem of promiscuity wasn't so bad in the Mexican community but that Dominicans were particularly promiscuous.

LeVine has since that he would apologize if some people felt that he owed an apology, but that he has no intention of resigning. Freehold's population is around 13% Latino and just recently has been involved in a controversy regarding the rights of day laborers to gather in search of employment.

You know who really needs to be in search of new employment? Mark LeVine.
