Sanford chief defender's letter, addressed to black city manager, littered with the n-word

It's one of those cases that demonstrates how racism is lived in America.

A letter, sent via the City of Sanford's official letter, and addressed to the city manager, decries the treatment afforded the currently suspended police chief, Bill Lee. It faults the now familiar villains, according to Lee's defenders: Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and the country's African-American attorney general, Eric Holder.

"Dear City Manager Bonaparte," it begins. "The racist travesty that took place in Sanford should not be laid to rest and the city should not move on until there is a thorough condemnation of the Rabid Racist Ni**ers and their organizations, along with the irresponsible media, that formed a treasoneous [sic], anti-American, vigelante [sic] feeding frenzy race riot. Ni**ers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and that dancing baboon of the New Black Pu***es should be in jail, preferably shot."

Mr. Bonaparte is black. And letters sent to city officials via the Sanford website are public record.

The writer, Gary K. Keats, a 71-year-old retired urologist from nearby Clearwater, Florida, stands by every word. And he sees no irony in sending a letter decrying what he considers black racism toward George Zimmerman and Bill Lee, and sprinkling that letter with terms like "baboons" and the n-word.

Keats told theGrio he used the n-word "just to get the point across that these people want to play the racist game, and see how they like it, playing it back. I think the whole thing is pretty disgusting, but apparently our beloved attorney general, Eric Holder, they think nothing of accusing everybody else of racism but when it comes to there actions everything is fine and wonderful."

Urologist, huh? Well, after 40+ years of looking at penises, he's become a full-fledged dick. CurtEastPoint Apr 2012 #5

This urologist isn't worth the piss his medical degree was written in.

of issue going on, whether the bond hearing, or a city council meeting... The last one I had to turn off was the city hearing where this larger, white lady (she seemed very Republican to me) took off on a vile, bitter speech where she became the victim for standing beside the Police of Chief while they "investigated" and also went on about how the city has changed and is no longer Racist. Outside groups have caused ugly rhetoric towards them and she has been attacked so badly and hurt so badly.... And she doesn't see the "good ole' boy network" at work in this case at all."

Leave it to a Republican piece of junk to find victimhood out of a situation where a member of their community's child was needlessly gunned down due to racial profiling and the prolific "gun right's" vigilanteism that is spurned by the NRA and that "good ole' boy" network.
