Busted, busters and broke with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Victor Willis, the original Village People cop, was arrested Sunday after being on the run for five months (see Essay 361). He was charged with drug possession and providing false identification to the arresting officer. An ex-fake cop giving bogus ID to a real cop is such a twisted paradox.
• The Prime Minister of Italy declared he wants to prevent his homeland from becoming a “multiethnic, multicultural country. ... We want to open [our borders] to foreigners who flee countries where their lives or liberties are at risk.” He also said, “We don’t want to welcome all those who come here to bring about damage and danger to Italian citizens.” Guess Victor Willis should stay away.
• The National Urban League released a survey showing Blacks are failing to make economic progress in numerous areas versus Whites. “The economic status of African-Americans is getting worse,” Urban League President Marc Morial said. “If things are stagnant in a growing economy ... then we’ve got to say that progress is seriously lacking. ... America is not America when millions of our citizens are still viewed as a fraction of a person.” And it’s not like folks could just pack up and move to Italy.
• A recent poll of legal immigrants showed the majority “believe anti-immigration sentiment is growing and [they] are alarmed by the tone of the debate over reform.” Another example of science stating the painfully obvious.
