Ethnic Cleansing

by Sam Huntington

Carmelo Garcia is the Executive Director of the Hoboken, New Jersey Housing Authority.  He is also a state-assemblyman (elect) who accused Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer of attempting to force him to remove minorities out of the city, in favor of white, affluent residents [Source].  But Superior Court Judge Lawrence Maron dismissed Garcia’s lawsuit against Zimmer because of the fact that Garcia used the phrase “ethnic cleansing” of minorities.  It is a term typically reserved for mass genocide, the judge said.

The lawsuit alleged that Zimmer’s plans for public housing ultimately sought to change Hoboken Housing Authority by replacing “old guard” (long term) residents, mostly made up of Italians, Africans, and Hispanics with a “new guard” of upwardly mobile white residents.

Judge Maron said that Garcia can re-file his lawsuit on or before 14 February, absent the words “ethnic cleansing,” and Garcia has indicated that he will do that.  One may recall that Mayor Zimmer is the individual who accused Gov. Christie of withholding federal funds from Hurricane Sandy.  She is now accused of perjury in the Housing Authority case for lying during sworn testimony [Source].

Much of this is probably no more than business as usual in New Jersey politics, but given the record of racist policies by democrats over the past 100 years, the allegation that a New Jersey mayor sought to remove minorities form public housing does not come as a shock.  No one is a better poster child for Democratic/Progressive Party racism than Margaret Sanger, who may have invented the term “ethnic cleansing.”  We know that Adolf Hitler was impressed with Sanger’s ideas. 

“The demand that defective people be prevented from propagating equally defective offspring … represents the most human act of mankind.”  —Adolf Hitler, Mein Kempf, 1926

“Birth control, which has been criticized as negative and destructive, is really the greatest and most truly eugenic method, and its adoption as part of the program of Eugenics would immediately give concrete and realistic power to the science … as the most constructive and necessary of the means to racial health.”  —Margaret Sanger, The Pivot of Civilization, 1922

But if this news article does anything at all, it reinforces the notion recently posted at our friend Z’s blog [Source].  Democrats may sneeringly refer to conservatives as racist, but well documented history and behavior shows us that it is the progressive movement with the most atrocious record toward minorities.
