This racism is killing me inside


Police identify and search for "El Negro"
The Brownsville Herald

BROWNSVILLE - Brownsville police have identified the suspected shooter that sent three to the emergency room after an argument at a 14th Street cantina.

Officers are looking for 48-year-old Ruben Juarez, who is wanted on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, said a police press release.

The shooting took place 11 p.m. Monday at 2415 14th St. at Las Cabanitas Lounge, where police say Juarez entered the bar armed with a .380 semiautomatic handgun and shot three people, said police spokesman Sgt. Jimmy Manrrique.

Juarez is described as dark skinned, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

He was last seen driving a 1992 or 1993 Lincoln Continental four door, with tinted windows and Minnesota license plates.

So I guess the word colored still flies down here too eh? Isn't that a racist thing to call someone. In english it means 'the black one.' Pretty sure the NYPD couldn't get away with calling a suspect that. Even though he's not black that's still pretty bad. Plus I was listening to the radio today and they had this commercial parody with a guy doing the traditional bucktooth Asian accent thing. Wow! Won't be too long before they turn on this gringo.
