if Long Island were mostly black would it then be called Longer Island?

Do you think Whites that lived in The Bronx,Brooklyn & Queens to get away from the Blacks & Puerto Ricans want their kids to go to school with them. They fled the boros to get away from all that. Some moved out as far as Montuck. The whole Island is zoned to keep the colors separate. Even when the County Ex. said the better thing to do for Long island is to combine school distracts the voters said “Hell-No!’ There are more racist on Long Island then in anywhere in the Tri-state area, FACT! Archie Bucker is alive and well on Long Island & his name is Peter King

Wow given all the anger, shown by so many of the LI majority. It would appear that many feel it’s not segregated enough.

Do you all really believe that the housing and real estate market is the same for everyone? Given all that has come to light with the housing market; we all know that those of color, have had the field tilted against them, when it comes to home ownership.

Once we as a country can admitt to this, then and only then can we begin to deal with, trying to make the field level and equal for all!

Long Island has four counties two are part of New York City and the other two are classified as Long Island because of Jim Crow segregation- restricted housing covanents. It ismis-leading to call those two other counties Long Island because we don’t cross water to get there. Mayor Bloomberg is correct,they should be part of the city. The name Long Island is a misnomer.

it’s time for minorties to take action by any means neccesary.

I have a great idea lets do a study exploring why white people left the city in the first place and moved to Long Island. I am pretty sure the answer to this question will help the authors of the study figure out why we chose to live in the neighborhoods that we do.

As usually, our liberal mass-media mix up all facts with a spice of editor lack of knowledge into the USA history and today issues. Why the author of this article believes it is segregation? And even though it is a segregation so what? Why we believe that segregation is bad? Sometimes, it is good for all races. When it comes to Long Island, my opinion it is not segregation it is more about schools and education background. If many blacks do not considered education as important as white and Asian, why it is suddenly became a white race problem and race discrimination and segregation charges are hold against whites. I thought in today’s America, all races are equal, right? If this is a case, why nobody pay attention that black people segregate whites from Harlem or East New York?

Most of Long Island is ugly and boring; strip malls and parking lots the entire length of the island. Generally, the people out there are clueless about anything outside of LI. Let them stay out there in their suburban hell.

This is a very funny article ,what problem?
If you have the money ,you get the home on East Hampton being
born of any color.
One could say Park Avenue NY has few minorities or Malibu Ca
or Pinehurst NC (except for Michael Jordon) or the state of
Rhode Island or Vermont and Alaska has almost no “people of
color” so what are we now going to have enforced busing of
neighbors.
We also have areas where no whites live ,we could also bus white’s
there .

Just like the migration to the garbage mounds of Staten Island when Carribbean imigrants came to Brooklyn, so goes the migration to the strawberry fields of Long Island. Be careful! Like leachates from the garbage contaminate the potable waters of SI, herbicides and pesticides from the strawberry fileids contaminate the potable waters of LI. Check out the high incident of cancers on LI- particularly breast cancer in women of child bearing age. The wealthy and intelligent inhabit LI!

Have you seen the prices of property on LI and the taxes there. What [person ion their right mind would want to live there. What do you want Blacks to move there so they can be subject to those outrageous taxes

maybe we like it that way Go change the place where you live if you want change

I am Asian and I live in Long Island. Although this story makes some sense, the fact is Asians and whites pay a lot more for houses in Long Island which has better school districts.

If you look at Long Islands’ school rankings by town. The top school districts are most expensive and very White and Asian Mix. You go down the list and other races will come into play. Towards the bottom of the list would be the towns which have predominantly black populations. Long Island is segragated based on School not Race.

Why is everything based on race. I think it is time to see people as Americans. Period, but it is liberals who keep on bringing this race question up. The Civil War is over, the Civil rights movement is over, are there problems sure, but there America’s Problems, not a race problem.

REVELATION 18

The U.S. and its vile immoral and hateful citizenry will soon eat fire. Read the prophesy.

Repent , you judgement is near.

WCBS should look at real stories, instead of trying to make it self the pillar of Diversity. Apparently it hasn’t dawned on them to realize that the changes on Long Island go back as far as the second World war. That people moved there to get away from the 5 boroughs ,for newer homes and BETTER schools. So now WCBS wants to make an issue out the lack of Diversity on the Island. Did they ever hear of the words WORK EThIC, or upward mobility? Whats their answer now? Sell every fourth house and give it to a minority? I would like to take a survey of all the people at WCBS and find out where they live. No wonder there is no creditability with the News Media.

If you honestly want to end segregation you should encourage whites to move back into the URBAN areas. We like to attack the suburbs for being too “White” but our cities only appeal to minorities and no one has a problem with it? Lets stop talking out of both sides of our mouths and at least appear to be unbiased.

So does that mean whites in L.I. prefer asians and hispanics to blacks

Long Island blows. The RE taxes are beyond belief. Past the 110 East begins mutant-ville. The traffic is worse than Queens. Suburban Hell.

So what? It’s mostly a class issue. Most normal people don’t want to live in the poor black areas and they shouldn’t have to be forced to under liberal socialist “forced housing”. This is America, not China.

Thank god for McDonald’s, Mountain Dew, Old English, Cheese Doodles, and macaroni & cheese.

What’s wrong with living where and with whom one chooses? Especially if one is paying for it!

I think a visit by Al Sharpton is in the works.

@ Devenio: “blank people”? We don’t even have to ask how stupid you are now.

yes, that’s why they moved there from the city
