I think there are a lot of Sunland-Tujunga Hispanics, Armenians, and Koreans, that would find your statement humorous at best.

I love it! Video Democracy! Too bad it really isn't up to a vote of the people, because if it were, the Home Depot would be voted out by a super majority!

Armenians are white.

Just like Lebanese.

They eat the same food!

One can only wonder how this era of vicious attacks, lies, deceit, and cheating will end.

The "end of White LA" means what, serves what purpose, and comes from whom? May you be healed and forgiven, and may you learn that you are in this world but not of it, and since this world may not last much longer, where then will you be with your racist remarks?

Higby really is an idiot. Everyone of his bloggers has some special interest issue ax to grind. Since he can't write can't he get people who can write who aren't sandbagging for one cause or another? Mailander isn't tied into anything nor even is Zuma. You have failed actor Joe Barrett shilling against Home Depot, Petrified with her Griffith Park screeds, EdHeadUpHisAss promoting his clients, Valley DOll huckstering for the PTA, Wet Spot promoting the Sierra Club. What gives? Can't you get writers who Are NOT activists?

Hey Joe not to get in the middle of this but I would have to agree that Armenians are white.

Hey 12:05 and 12:15, you sound angry and scary and vicious. I hope you don't attend any public meetings. I wouldn't want to be sitting next to you. It sounds like you need to get some professional help. Really. Go take a deep breath, take a walk or something. Simmer down. No one is looking for a fight except you.

Joe b never said Armenians weren't white, but they're NOT "anglos" either, they're very ethnic and their food and customs don't resemble those of Europe at all -- they're more like the Persians, who were the Moguls who invaded N. India and built the Taj, and whose food is more like Kashmiris or Northern Indians. Who are not white. So really, they're only "white" because our categories are too narrow.

Dear Anonymous,
How easy to hide behind this cover, I would say you are a coward and if you did have "balls" you would at least identify yourself.
You are the kind of person who doesn't vote, takes no stand, sits back & spend numerous hours critizing any & everything. People like you are worthless, dangerous & of no use to anyone. It takes courage to speak up and be noticed, you just hide behind your ignorance. There are many like you and this is why we fight and our fight eventually benefits you & the likes...

How do you people take that invitation as "racist?" Many Hispanics live here and they are welcome. It's the store we hate. If any of you Anons took the time to drive through our TINY town, you would immediately see why this is a bad fit!

Great video Tomi! And thanks for putting it up Michael!

There might 2-3 Hispanics at those No on Home Depot meetings. Never see any Blacks in the photos. I have seen more Hispanics at the Vons in Sunland than at the Home Depot meeting. There are a few non-whites but all the leadership is old and anglo.

You need to refer to my post from the Home Depot mediation day to read about the diversity I saw. I don't know the specific demographics but I would assume what I have seen at the events in ST and in meeting the people that the No Home Depot team is relatively representative of the community there as a whole.

Though where was one really fine young lass (I won't tell you her race cause I don't care; all shades of women appeal to me) at the liquor store in Tujunga where I went to buy cigars who was definitely not representative of what I have seen in ST or really the rest of LA either. :)

anonymous,

This is the 21st Century.

Why is it that when someone has no knowledge, no facts, no logical thinking, no premis for their position; They play the race card?
They race bait.

You probably have not noticed that
race baiting is beginning to carry the impact of a SIG Alert on the 405. And....?

Do you know what a SIG Alert is?
Do you know where the 405 Is?

Perhaps you need a class in remedial Los Angeles.

Lunch is a racial issue.

Mayor Sam, what was it that you found about the lass at the liquor store?

Some people think it is the water - personally, I think it is the air or the ley lines or both!
