Why?
He is a very religious ultra Orthodox guy who lives in Midwood area of Brooklyn where one of our largest communities reside and he is very helpful and generous to all our good causes.
Just to let you know who we are  dealing with, I'll share a pretty well known story about him with you; He was once doing a business deal with D. Trump. When he walked in to the office he had a hard time pinpointing which one in the office was Trump. When ask how was it possible "Don't you see me on TV?" "I don't have a TV" "Don't you see me in magazines/newspapers?" "Don't have any in my home" and so forth if you get the gist.
Whether the story is true or not, they don't say such things about me or you ;)

There's actually another frum guy with plans to build the tallest residential building in the city, most likely taller than the Empire State Building. The NYT had an article about it recently.

Yep, I actually believe we should outlaw McDonalds.
I believe outlawing the people who eat at McDonalds will do a lot more good for this country :P

Racist/bigoted on so many levels, says a lot about a person how they interpret that.

Cnn Article

A jury of 6 women (5 of them white) was chosen for George Zimmerman.


The 4 alternates (2 men two women) are all white.

Wonder how that selection played out!

That's no good.  If they find him innocent people are going to claim it's because the jury was too white, even if the evidence is in his favor.

He killed a black kid.... many people will think that a very white jury would come to a different conclusion than a more mixed jury given the same evidence.  I don't think that's necessarily the case but many people do...

Ok now I understand. If it was an all black jury he would be convicted no matter what? How about a Hispanic jury?  :)

I presume that some people think that way.
