Aide to Manhattan Borough Pres. Scott Stringer resigns after racial comments on Facebook RE Gates

[SemiCharmedQuark]

An aide to Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer has resigned under pressure after she labeled Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. a "racist" and dubbed President Obama "O-dumb-a" in a Facebook rant defending racial profiling.

"I get it -- white men have dominated for hundreds of years and there's a lot of anger there. But HOW MUCH MORE can the white people do to correct past injustices of their ancestors?" wrote Lee Landor, 24, who had worked as deputy press secretary for Stringer.

...
"Ms. Landor's comments were totally inappropriate and in direct contradiction to the views of the borough president," said a Stringer spokesman.

The Queens woman posted the politically and racially charged comments online Friday while at work.
"You know what, I am really getting SICK of hearing about how white people are evil racists," she wrote at 11:43 a.m. Friday.

At one point, she rants about the president: "O-dumb-a, the situation got out of hand because Gates is a racist, not because the officer was DOING HIS JOB!"

...

Landor wrote, "Racial profiling does exist, but for good reason. Take a look at this country's jails: who makes up the majority of inmates? Exactly."

I mean, it's a cushy job to begin with. Why ruin it?

6. After all these years of the "social conservatives" running this country,

it's not very surprising that she would post at work.

:shrug:

7. But...

She was probably railing against wasteful Democrat spending as she spewed her filth while on the job at work.

11. In a Democrat's office?

Surely that would strike someone as odd.
