In a recent interview given to Playboy magazine, 50 Cent expressed his views about homosexuality:
“I ain’t into faggots. I don’t like gay people around me, because I’m not comfortable with what their thoughts are. I’m not prejudiced. I just don’t go with gay people and kick it – we don’t have that much in common. I’d rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that’s cool.”
Some people may have been shocked by his statements, but I think he deserves respect for being honest. 50 Cent doesn’t feel comfortable in front gay people, and thus, doesn’t want to hang out with them. There is nothing degrading nor gay bashing in what he said. There is absolutely nothing to be shocked about: 50 Cent has the right not to go with homosexual men. It is his choice.
As he pointed it out, 50 Cent has been honest speaking his mind:
“It’s OK to write that I’m prejudiced.This is as honest as I could possibly be with you. When people become celebrities they change the way they speak. But my conversation with you is exactly the way I would have a conversation on the street. We refer to gay people as faggots, as homos. It could be disrespectful, but that’s the facts.”
The GLAAD approved 50 Cent’s honesty, but people of this organisation still have problems with his use of the word ‘faggot’. GLAAD’s People of Color Media Manager C. Riley Snorton said:
“We applaud his honesty in talking about the murder of his bisexual mother and appreciate his acknowledgment that he is not comfortable with gay people. We know that confronting homophobia can indeed be uncomfortable. A good way to start would be to attend GLAAD’s annual media awards. I’d like to invite 50 Cent as my personal guest.”
The GLAAD said: “it can be dangerous to use words like ‘faggot’ and ‘homo’ when talking about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.”I wish the GLAAD stopped with its susceptibility about the use of the word ‘faggot’. The organisation still has problems with it.
The GLAAD should seriously grow up.
In 2001, the Glaad has protested against Eminem, turning him into a symbol of homophobia as if Eminem was the first rapper to use ‘faggot’ in his lyrics. As Eminem pointed it out, the word ‘faggot’ in his lyrics means ‘sissy’. The song ‘Criminal’, where the word gets used with the meaning ‘gay’, is obviously a reaction against the Glaad’s accusation of homophobia.
People of the GLAAD don’t seem to know the world of hip hop very well. It is so common to use words such as ‘faggot’ or ‘dyke’ in hip hop lyrics. Scholly D did it long before Eminem and 50 Cent in ‘Saturday Night’:
“…and I thought it was
a gag, when I thought it was a girl, it was nothing but a fag”
NWA has also used similar words like ‘dyke’ in ‘Gangsta Gangsta’:
“Dumb ass hooker ain’t nuttin’ but a dyke”
50 Cent, whose own mom used to be bisexual, cannot be targetted as homophobic. It would be a real mistake to do so.
People from the Glaad should stop taing each word of rap lyric literally. That would certainly help to push thin
Eminem Shuns D12, Buddha-Shaped Bizarre Hangs Like 50 In ‘My Band’
Eminem has never shied away from addressing serious topics in his rhymes. But when it comes to hooking up with his old rap group from Detroit, D12, Eminem seems determined to keep it silly.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1485825/20040318/eminem.jhtml?headlines=true
the group’s new single and video, “My Band,” Eminem and company satirize the very obvious fact that despite their best intentions, Em clearly is the most high-profile member of the group.
In the clip, Eminem is the egocentric lead singer of a rock band who affords himself all the perks of celebrity while shutting out his backing bandmates. The idea is a spin on three real-life experiences that happen to the crew again and again, Eminem says: when D12 get called a “band” and not a “rap group,” when Eminem is singled out from the other members, and when people mix up the names, faces and voices of the group’s other members. Instead of continuing to get angry about the situation, they decided to poke fun at it.
“You know, one day I was just in this silly-ass mood … where I was kinda slap-happy. [I decided to act like] I’m the lead singer here and I’m going to get the chicks,” Eminem said of the behavior that inspired the “character” he plays in the video.
“It was all day long, though,” his D12 mate Swift added.
“All day long,” Eminem agreed. “I was probably annoying the f— out of them, but it ended up becoming a song.”
The self-parodying in the clip isn’t limited to Em and D12 ‘ extended family member 50 Cent gets it as well. Mocking the “Six Million Dollar Man” workout regimen 50 Cent goes through in his video for “In Da Club,” the Buddha-shaped D12 rapper Bizarre is shown hanging upside down in a futile attempt to get in shape.
Eminem both produced “My Band” and directed the video. The track appears on D12’s upcoming sophomore album, D12 World, which is due out April 27
Two brothers who love each other
Marshall is not only a dedicated daddy to Hailie, he is also a great big brother to Nathan. Since Nathan was born, Eminem used to take care of his little brother. He pretty much raised him. In an interview given to Lang Whitaker, Eminem talks about the way he used to take care of Nathan:
‘ It’s got a little something to do with me not knowing my father, so I try to fuckin’ make it up a little bit. But I don’t think that’s the only reason. I think parenthood comes naturally to me. I mean, I raised my little brother. My little brother was born when I was eleven years old, so I pretty much raised him from the cradle. ‘
A former neighbor of Debbie Mathers, Rose Slone, can testify that Marshall was always good to his brother :
‘He was good to his brother. He was always there for Nathan.”
Both brothers are in very good terms and they do appreciate each other. When you take a look at pictures of Marshall and Nathan, they look like accomplices. You have probably noticed that they seem to like joking with each other.
Marshall and Nate have been through similar tough conditions of living, both have experienced a harsh childhood and have been bullied at school.
In 2001, Eminem was seeking for Nate’s custody. He has always felt very concerned by his brother’s well being. There was a time, he couldn’t call him without Debbie listening to their conversation.
According to Debbie, Marshall has always been very protective towards Nate:
‘Marshall does preach to him about staying in school: ‘Don’t do drugs; don’t drink. If I ever catch you doing it, or smoking pot, I’m gonna go out and let you finish a joint and then I’m gonna bust ya upside your head.'”
Since his 16 th birthday, Nathan lives with his brother who is a positive role model to him. Nate is very supportive to Marshall’s carrier and he has participated to several of his videos. He enjoys his brother’s music and he wants to be a rapper too.
At the time Nate’s website was disabled (some jealous people had trashed his guestbook), I have read so many stupid comments from his detractors. Some of them said that Nate ‘was a sponge who was living in the shadow of his brother’. To all those people , I would like to say: ‘Just shut up and get a damn life!’
Nate hasn’t choosen to be the brother of a celebrity. You cannot compare him to Eminem, he hasn’t started an official rap career. In December 2002, he was trying to get a record deal, but for the moment, he hasn’t be signed to a label.
Of course, if you consider Eminem’s huge talent, you will realize that Nate will have to work hard as a rapper. But don’t prejudge him before his carrier started.
Nate is only 18 years old. He has his life in front of him to prove his skills.
For his 18th birthday, Marshall has offered a studio to his beloved brother: he may surprise us very soon with a cool record.
Much more than brothers, Marshall and Nate are true friends for life.
How is Hailie gonna react when she grows up?
Being a huge Eminem fan, I have been confronted to those questions many times : ‘ How will Hailie react as a teenager when she will discover the full version of ‘ Bonnie and Clyde ‘ and of songs like ‘ Kim ‘, for instance ?
Many Eminem detractors have objected me that Eminem was so ‘ evil ‘, that his daughter would end up hating her father.
I am totally convinced of the contrary and let me tell you why :
–
Eminem is a devoted father to Hailie who feels very concerned by her well being. He is very cautious when Hailie listens to his music. She only listens to clean versions of his songs.
– Eminem’s approach of education with Hailie is liberal. Recently Hailie even learnt how to use some cusswords from her cool daddy who thought it was high time for her to learn some, she’d hear some cusswords at school anyway.
– The little girl is also used to her daddy’s sense of humor. She is also part of his artistic creation and lend her voice to her daddy’s records since she was 2 and a half.
– When Hailie will be old enough, Eminem will spend some time with his daughter to explain her the meaning behind the words. He will explain her in which context he wrote ‘ 97 Bonnie and Clyde ‘ and ‘ Kim ‘. Hailie will understand that her caring dad had been hurt by her mom and that he wanted to get her back. She will understand that those songs that shocked the media are nothing else than Eminem’s expression of love towards Kim. Hailie will understand that her parents, despite their arguments, had strong feelings for each other.
In 1999, when Hailie was 3, Kurt Loder from MTV asked Eminem about the song ‘ Guilty conscience ‘. He wanted to know how Eminem would explain the song to his daughter. The part with the 15 years old girl in particular :
‘ Yo! This girl’s only fifteen years old
You shouldn’t take advantage of her, that’s not fair)
Yo, look at her bush.. does it got hair? (Uh huh!)
Fuck this bitch right here on the spot bare
Til she passes out and she forgot how she got there
(Man, ain’t you ever seen that one movie _Kids_?)
No, but I seen the porno with SunDoobiest!
(Shit, you wanna get hauled off to jail?)
Man fuck that, hit that shit raw dawg and bail’ ‘
There are clear references to rape in ‘ Guilty Conscience ‘. But why should Eminem hide those things to Hailie ? Eminem envisions America’s bad side in the song and he is referring to reality.
There is no reason for him to overprotect his daughter and to hide reality to her.
This is how Eminem answered to Kurt :
Eminem:” I would be able to explain that song to her just like I would to any other child on the face of this earth. Anyone with a half a brain can see that “Guilty Conscience” was me just talking about the ways of the world and your conscience. It’s a concept song.It’s like you got the bad half of you and you have the good half — and it seems like in America these days, the evil side always rules. And that’s what I was trying to do with that song. It was a concept, you know, me taking little stabs at Dr. Dre and him throwing them back. As a kid growing up, my daughter is gonna know right from wrong. She’s gonna know what to do and what not to do. She’s also gonna go through the same things that other children do when growing up. When I was 12 years old, if I heard an NWA record or I heard an Ice-T record, I never went out and shot somebody. You have to be smart enough to know.”According to me, Eminem is a good father who is doing the right thing with his little daughter. When she will be old enough to understand, he will explain his lyrics to her. He will help her to distinguish between right and wrong. We should expose reality to our kids in its uglyness and roughness : that’s the best way to prepare them to their adult life. Life won’t always be sugarcoated for them. It is useless to act as of danger and violence didn’t exist. Kids who are far from reality will be weakened in their adult life.”
Parents, should also be tolerant about their kids’ musical tastes. Music helps them to grow up and is not necessarly a bad influence.
As Eminem points it out, he stated listening to NWA and Ice T when he was 12 and he never shot anybody. Take your kid’s CD for what it actually is: words and music.
Eminem touring with Hailie?
Maybe it would be more secure for Hailie if daddy and daughter could be touring together.
Last June, during Eminem’s European tour, Hailie had to face some real difficulties at school:
http://www.clubid.nl/clubs.php?clubid=1916
Two of Eminem’s nannies don’t seem to be trustworthy. JR Watkins has betrayed him by displaying intimate details about his privacy in 2002.
Nadine Bailey has caused some scandal in June 2003. She was accused of punching a little girl, Hailie’s pal named Karrie Laws. She also made the little girl swallow some soap, accusing her of lying about her homework.
Her mom said:
“Karrie has been subjected to ongoing abuse.”
Karrie is the daughter of Kenneth Laws, Eminem’s bodyguard.
Human relationships aren’t always simple to handle, particularly when you’re a superstar.
Eminem does his best to give Hailie the most comfortable life. He is a very loving father.
As he stated it on Radio 1, his daughter is actually the most important person in his life:
“… I’m never gonna hold back on expressing my
love for my daughter. There’s nothing that can
strip that… She’s obviously the most important
thing to me. She’s so beautiful and so smart”
(Radio 1 interview)
The only problem is that he’s barely at home with Hailie. Touring with her might be the solution, who knows?
It isn’t that easy to be a good rapper
Detractors of hip hop culture and rap music prompt to say that ‘ anybody can rap ‘, that ‘ rap ain’t music, it’s crap ‘. All those people are totally wrong in their judgements, because they totally ignore what rap music is all about. It’s is so easy to be demeaning towards something they don’t even understand.
Rap music cannot be viewed the way you would look at classical music, but it is a very complicated and sophisticated art.
A good rapper needs to have a lot of qualities :
– First, to be credible, he needs to come from a hip hop cultural background.
Although rap music was born and has been developped by the black community, it has a universal vocation.
– he must be able to write good quality lyrics. Instead of being shocked by the many cusswords you can find inside of a rap text, people should try to look at the poetry and the meaning of the words. Many rap lyrics are street poetry.
– He needs to have a good sense of rythm and the rythm he puts in his music must marry with the text.
– A good MC needs to captivate his audience, he needs to have charisma
– A good must be balanced in his body and be a good breakdancer
– And many more’
Hip hop is a very complete artistic expression which uses painting (graffitis), music (rap), dance (breakdance), poetry. Hip hop culture should be respected as a cultural enrichment to society.
It is so untrue that ‘ anybody can rap ‘. Rapping is a real job that requires a lot of work. There are so many rappers on this planet, but not all of them can claim to be good rappers.

A typical example of irresponsible parenting
To many parents, Eminem is a perfect culprit. Because some of his lyrics contain explicit sexual content and offensive words, it is so easy to accuse him at first at to make him look guilty when a child acts in a perverted way.
An event that happened in 2002 was giving Eminem a bad name :
http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/08/29/nemin29.xmlI
In Manchester, a 12 years old boy who had listened to the Ken Kaniff skit had the bad idea to threaten a 9 years old boy with a piece of metal and to force him to perform some oral sex on him.
My question is : how many persons in this world (including teenage kids) have listened to the Ken Kaniff skit ? How many of them have acted weird afterwards ? Probably very few.
The story has been debatted here :
http://www.buzzgrinder.com/archives/eminem_lyrics_blamed_in_sex_crime.php
Who is Ken Kaniff ? Ken Kaniff is a sick character that is obviously gay. He appears several times on Eminem’s three records, the Slim Shady LP, the Marshall Mathers LP and the Eminem Show. Ken Kaniff also appears on the Slim Shady Show.
You will find more info about Ken Kaniff here :
http://www.shadysoldiers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1885&PN=1
The track that ‘ inspired ‘ the 12 years old boy is probably the Ken Kaniff skit from the Slim Shady LP :
[Ken Kaniff]I’m gonna call this motherfucker.
Oh fuck yeah.
Give him a piece of mind. A piece of my ass.
[Operator]Thank you for waiting. Hello, may I help you.
[Ken Kaniff]Oh thank you. I need to make a collect call.
[Operator]What number?
[Ken Kaniff]Oh the number is **6-2***
[Operator]At the tone, please say your name.
[Ken Kaniff]Kenneth Kaniff, from Connecticut. Automated piece of shit.
[Eminem]Yo.
[Ken Kaniff]Hey there, cock boy.
[Eminem]Who’s this?
[Ken Kaniff]This is Ken Kaniff.
[Eminem]Who?
[Ken Kaniff]Ken Kaniff from Connecticut, you little bitch.
[Eminem]From Connecticut? I don’t know nobody in Connecticut.
[Ken Kaniff]Yeah, you wanna get a hotel room with me?
[Eminem]A hotel room?
[Ken Kaniff]Yeah, you want me to lick your ass, Eminem?
[Eminem]Yo, who is this, Cage?
[Ken Kaniff]You want me to fuckin melt in your mouth and not in your hand?
Melt in your ass you little cock boy.
[Eminem]Yo, shut up you little bitch.
[Ken Kaniff]Oh, you think I’m lying huh…
[Eminem] Hahahahahaha
Ok, the language is explicit. Ken Kaniff offers a parody of a gay character. The skit is funny and isn’t aimed at 12 years old kids.
I’d say that this story is a typical example of irresponsible parenting. The mom of the teenager did not even any idea of what Eminem’s lyrics were about :
‘ My son likes Eminem but I have only let him listen to tracks that make the charts. When they played that awful song in the courtroom I felt sick. ‘
If she had known, she would have had the possibility to buy her son some clean version Eminem Cds. As far as I am concerned, forbidding Eminem to her son is not the solution. Parents should take their children’s musical tastes into account’but not only their musical choices. Parents should try to know their kids better. If they really invested themselves more in knowing their kids better, it would certainly avoid a lot of drama.
Ken Kaniff’s words are not the real problem of the 12 years old boy mentioned in this story. It is goes deeper than that. It is obvious that this teenager had some mental problems that might be solved by counselling.
Eminem never told anybody of his listeners or fans to act weird. He never cautioned crazy behavior. In his song ‘ Stan ‘, he advices Stan not to act ‘ crazy ‘.
It is not a proven fact that music perverts people. The people who are convinced of the contrary should also accuse any creator of a ‘ crime story ‘ to promote violence and murder. So many people are watching violent movies that are about crime and rape. That doesn’t make criminal or rapists of them.
People accuse Eminem out of ignorance. I agree with this statement made about Eminem on a musical review website :
‘Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers = M&M = Eminem = GET IT?) is a foul-mouthed, hilarious, ultra-clever white rapper who has set the flame of the world alight with fire during the past few years with his supposedly profane woman- and gay-bashing lyrics, violent situations and adult themes – targeted towards kids! He has been set up as a kind of supervillain in the press when all he really is is a really smart songwriter who sings about things that make uptight people uncomfortable for a very good reason – they’re the same things that make STUPID people violent. You and I both know that if we hear a song about raping or murdering somebody, it’s just a song. But there are loads and LOADS of unbelievably ignorant, violent, maladjusted freaks out there who may very well take this stuff a little too seriously. Right? So the uptight people are correct, right? And Eminem is just out to make money without concern for our children’s well-being? Not necessarily. He just doesn’t think that he should take the blame for society’s stupidity. The dangers of creating an unintended response in certain listeners is, in fact, the main theme of the Marshall Mathers LP. But everybody seems to miss that, harping instead on his ‘fag-bashing’ and ‘woman-bashing.’ He’s just JOKING when he does that crap. Those are the kinds of jokes that smart people MAKE when they’re making fun of DUMB people. So let’s actually talk about the albums, okey-dokey? Okey-dokey indeed, Mr. Prindle!’
You will also find some full comments about Eminem’s albums on the same website:
http://www.markprindle.com/eminem.htm
Another person said: ‘Look if you’re going to be forcing little boys into sodomy while theatening them with a metal pipe I think you have bigger problems that what’s in your CD player’. She has a good point.
The problem of this 12 years old boy lies elsewhere and he probably needs a serious therapy.
There is nothing wrong with teenagers in general listening to Eminem. Parents just should make it sure that their kid is mature enough to listen to his songs. If they aren’t , buying clean CDs should be a real alternative. In both cases, it supposes that parents perfectly know their kids’ character, which means focusing a real interest on them.
Don’t blame Eminem for your own failures.
My Band D12
Today is the ‘ My Band ‘ video Premiere. The song will be on D12’s (impatiently awaited ) next album ‘ Halloween ‘.
‘ My Band ‘ is one of the new D12 track you can listen to on D12world.com. It is hilarous from the beginning to the end.
Eminem starts joking about his ‘ leader status ‘ of the D12 group. Eminem makes fun of a specific category of girls : the kind of girls who are not even interested in his music and who don’t even know the name of his group members. So many times, he gets approached by girls out of lust. Some girls would do anything just to have sex with him.
The text is written in a funny way and the way Eminem jokes about the jealousy of the other members creates a comical effect.
Swifty fights with Eminem to get the mic. Kuniva and Kon Artis argue that Eminem always sounds best. Bizarre intends to leave the group and start a solo career in the song. A very funny Salsa song made by Eminem ends the song.
Swifty’s statements which are supposed to be made out of anger and jealousy, but they refer to a real problem : many girls are just focused on Eminem, his pretty face, his superstardom. They are physically attracted to him and they like his glory and his fame. Their interest for the music he produces is very little. They are, in fact, unable to make any difference between the other D12 members. They’d easily confuse Kon Artis with Swifty and they don’t see their value as a solo artist.
If you take time to listen and to look at the other D12 member’s lyrics on the ‘ Devil’s Night ‘ album, you will see that they are very creative and funny. Bizarre has often the illest lyrics.
If you take a deeper look at the other D12 members besides Eminem, you will notice that Proof has real talent as a solo artist. Some of his tracks like ‘ Ride Out ‘ are really well made. Go explore Big Proof’s personal website (www.bigproof.com) to know more about the talented artist’s work and he may surprise you.
You can also discover some Kuniva and Kon Artis solo tracks on D12’s online mixtape.
Bizarre has a rich musical career behind him. He is well known for his ‘ Attack Of The Weirdos ‘. Bizarre deserves to get some recognition for himself as an artist. He is original, sometimes scary and always funny.
The D12 group is composed of six hard working members who are all unique, each person for his part. Try not only to focus your interest on Eminem. Each member and his alter ego are so interesting to discover for their talent.
“My Band”
[Intro]
I don’t know dude…
I think everyone’s all jealous and shit cuz I’m like the lead singer of a band dude…
And I think everyone’s got a fuckin problem with me dude…
And they need to take it up with me after the show…
Because…

So I get off stage right and drop the mic
Walk up to the hot chicks and I’m all like

They’re all like “Oh my god it’s him”
“Becky oh my fuckin’ god it’s Eminem”

But they’re all on me like they wanna hold hands…
Cuz once I blow they know that i’ll be the man…
All because I’m the lead singer of my band…
[Verse 4 – Proof]
They say the lead singers rock, but the group does not
Once we sold out arenas to the amusement park
I’m gonna let the world know that proof is hot
I should cut his mic off when the musics starts
Ready to snap on a dumbass fan
Every time i hear (Hey dude I love your band)
We ain’t a band bitch we don’t play instruments
So why he get 90 and we only get 10 percent
And these guys they can find every area code
([Em:] Proof carry my bag)
Bitch carry your own
Can’t make it to the stage, security in my way
(Who the fuck are you? Where’s Obie and Dre?!)
[Verse 5 – Bizarre]
***dammit I’m sick of this group
Time for me to go solo and make some loop
I told you I made the beats and wrote all the raps
Till Kon Artis slipped me some crack
Lose Yourself video I was in the back
Superman video I was in the back
Fuck the media, I got some suggestions
Fuck Marshall, ask us the questions
Like who’s D12, how we get started
(What about Eminem?)
Bitch are you retarded?
Anyway I’m the popularest guy in the group
Big ass stomache, bitches think I’m cute
50 told me to do situps to get buff
I did two and a half and then I couldn’t get up
Fuck D12, I’m outta this band
I’m gonna start a group with the real Roxanne
[Eminem]
Girl why cant you see your the only one for me
and it just tares my ass apart to know that you dont know my band…
[Chorus – Bizarre]
These chicks don’t even know the name of my band…(ha ha)
But they’re all on me like they wanna hold hands…(Fuck Marshall)
Cuz once I blow they know that i’ll be the man…
All because I’m the lead singer of my band…
My Band [Repeated 9x]
[Outro]
The hottest boy band in the world…
D12!
[Eminem as a salsa singer]
I’m the lead singer of my band, I get all the girl’s to take off their underpants
And the lead singer of my band, my salsa
Makes all the pretty girl’s wanna dance
My salsa, look out for my next single, it’s called My Salsa…
My salsa, salsa, salsa, salsa, my salsa
Makes all the pretty girls wanna dance
And take off their underpants
My salsa makes all the pretty girls wanna dance
And take off their underpants, my salsa
(Where’d everybody go?)
RAP STARS IN POLICE INVESTIGATION SHOCK
50 CENT, EMINEM, JAY-Z, P DIDDY and BUSTA RHYMES are amongst a host of hip-hop artists who have been allegedly secretly investigated by MIAMI police forces.

The New York Police Department are currently denying that a ‘hip-hop division’ has been created in the city to monitor visiting rappers, though officers were reportedly put on a three-day ‘hip-hop training session’ in May to learn how to keep track of new rivalries.
Earlier this week (March 9) the Miami Herald exposed officers who said that they regularly photograph rappers when they arrive at Miami International Airport, tap hotel and club workers for information as well searching out regular haunts and video shoots.
Miami police Sergeant Rafael Tapanes said in the report: “A lot [of], if not most, rappers belong to some sort of gang. We keep track of their arrests and associates.”
This information is reportedly kept in a binder given to all who attended the ‘training’ session.
”Everybody that went got a binder with information on rappers that have been arrested, outlining charges,” Tapanes added. “They were trained on what to look for in the lyrics, what to look for when they go to hip-hop concerts, what radio stations and TV stations to monitor to keep abreast of any rift between these rappers.”
Miami Beach Assistant Police Chief Charles Press said: “We have to keep an eye on these rivalries. The last thing we need in this city is violence.”
A report today (March 12) in the Miami Herald reveals that the Miami Beach Black Host Committee say that they are deeply offended by the monitoring of the rappers.
The group, formed by the city’s mayor to help improve its relations with black residents and visitors, will hold a meeting today to outline their concerns.
Committe Chairman Henry Crespo said: “These folks are coming here to have fun, they’re spending money, buying bottles. Did they shoot somebody last week, have they been selling drugs, have they been involved in prostitution, have they killed anybody? If not, then what warrants this violation of a person’s privacy?”
