Salvatore Ballarino, a political appointee to the Staten Island Community Education Council, has admitted to sending an email to dozens of people, including members of the public schools’ parent advisory board.

From The Staten Island Real Time News

The mock photo strip, sent Jan. 4 by Salvatore Ballarino, the borough president’s appointee to the volunteer board, features cartoon-like speech balloons drawn out of McCain’s mouth referencing lynching African Americans and equating African American babies with excrement.


The widely forwarded email also questions black fathers’ ability to support their families and states Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles are always smiling, because they did not know they were black. After each “punch line” the cartoon-like strip shows a photo of Obama’s face, positioned in such a way to make him look stunned and dumbstruck.

From The New York Daily News

In the e-mail, Sen. John McCain is shown telling then-candidate Barack Obama that he has black people in his family tree, adding, “If I recall, they’re still hanging there.”

In another exchange, McCain asks Obama the difference between a black man and a picnic table, before offering that “a picnic table can support a family.”

    I say do not give it any fire, I will be glad when we as black can rise above every cracker smear and not react to these smears. We are better than this and it reflects them not us. Nothing can stop us. So let’s pray for the lesser and keep on pushing and reaching for the top…

    It is so sad that the year is 2009 and there is still so many people with so much hate in their hearts. Racism is worse than cancer. It is a disease that paralyzes ones mind and kills the soul. It has such a stronghold that it has the world bond. The sad thing about a person that sows such hate is that they don’t realize that the blood of Jesus has set everyone that believes in him and his word. Free. Why do you think that President Obama has gone so far? God has him in the palm of his hand. He is a vessel that God is using to sow hope in a hopeless land. So many people are losing their jobs, homes and dignity. President Obama is so far above those jokes. He isn’t wasting time going back and forth with the ignorant. I am so Proud of our President because he doesn’t waste time responding to the ignorance of those that allow hate to drive them. America is going through these times together whether we want to admit it or not. Do you think that only blacks are hurting? Please stop letting hate and ignorance drive you. Hurt, hunger, and being homeless don’t discriminate. We all need to Pray for President Obama and each other. In order for us to come through these times we are going to have to love one another regardless to color of skin. We need each other more now than we ever have. Take the time to pray for the land and pray for the ignorant ones that don’t know any better. God loves them just as he loves you. Don’t let the jokes blind you to what is going on around you. America please don’t harden your hearts and think that all people think the same way. Come out of your comfort zone and try to get to know someone without looking at skin. I dare you to try!

    What an ignorant, racist, full
    of hate ass. What is wrong with
    these people? Is it really that
    bad for them? And to think that
    the people sending these racist
    emails are people in charge of
    what affects people of color and others in how we live and
    get by in our worlds. Thank God
    President Obama, is above it and is carrying himself with dignity and ignoring this crap.
    These people need to pray for their souls. HARD.

    It’s funny how many haters are speaking badly about President Obama’s first month in office compared to how Bush got off the hook for his personal war. Also the treatment of the victims of Katrina, knowing that if it had been in Texas there would have been a lot less victims. Leave him alone an give him a chance!!!

    That old fat greasy slimeball! I hope someone lynch his old ass, that dumb old piece of s**t! Well, when you have a person of color in a powerful position, that’s when you find out about the undercover racists. I just want him to resign and find a new occupation with the KKK since he obviously has a problem with minorities. How stupid can one be to send something out like that without thinking about the consequences of what it/can imply?

    Are you serious Salvatore? Exactly how high up on the food chain do you think you are? This is the US of A and things have not changed that much since you or your ancestors crossed the border, whatever border you crossed to get here. Make no mistake, if they ever run out of us, they’re coming for you and yours! President Barack Obama represents a opportunity for greater equality for us all. You would do well to recognize that, ese!
