Dear Police Officer York:
Fort Wayne Police Officer Zamora tried to refuse me entry into the Saint Patrick Catholic Church on December 13, 2006 between 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. Zamora stated that only the media was allowed into the church. When in fact two raced white males were already sitting in the church. The church was hosting a public event. Zamora used the pretense to discriminate against me. I was the only African-American entering the building at that time.
Do your officers needs some culturally sensitive training? I am available.
Next, Racialist Behavior by camera persons
On the same day two camera persons working for Wane TV adjusted their monitor to show the wording It's a N..Word, as I was approaching the church. This occurred outside the church. The racial rant by Michael Richards. Sending a email to Wane Television that tried to explain that it was the airing of Inside Edition programming at the time. And that it was just a coincidence that segment showed at the time of my arrival. Yeah right.
I doubt that was true and if you saw Inside Edition on December 13, 2006, please let me know if you saw a Michael Richard segment aired on that day. My blood is still boiling but I'll be alright. Racialist behavior wounds and it is not funny.
Wane Television 15 does your camera persons, need some culture sensitive Training? I would be glad too.
Those working for the public and come into my neighborhood you need to recognize you can not mistreat us because we don't travel in your circle. And from your behavior, we probably would not want you to travel in our company. I live in this neighborhood and many of you probably don't. And when do come into my neighborhood, I forgot how you measure the status of a people.
I should have listened to this recording as a reminder, that it's a learned behavior that I'm dealing with, for those who attempt to model their behavior based on skin color. Listen. Gabcast! Fort Wayne African-American Independent Woman #13 - Racialization explained by Dr. Maulana Karenga
