One of them, Nicoletti, looks like he could be a willing recruit for the Mafia. He needs to go away and never be paroled to become an enforcer or executioner.
All of them are sick. Sick. Michael Contreras, especially, is a self-hating idiot.

I've been trying to think of what to say but all I keep coming up with are questions like "seriously?" or "where is his mom or grandmom to slap his triflin ass upside the head?" and "just how did he become friends with clearly angry racist white men?".
I'm also wondering why he didn't pretend the other guys were trying to beat him, too, when the cops showed up.
I was reading the comments from Ta-Nehisi's blog. One of the posters said Contreras was known as Dominican Mike for those in the know. Let me tell you, a year ago I read this piece about hair and skin politics among Dominicans, and barrother, these people have some self-hatred problems that Junot Diaz only scratched the surface in his short story collection, Drown.
The darkest and most African-looking Dominican thinks he's a white guy (SMH). And they use straighteners and skin lighteners like mad.

I'm eager to see the 20/20 news story, but still it would make no sense.
He might get invited to go on Tyra Banks show now...

Tyra Banks, no. Bill O'Reilly, yes. ...and you know they'll do it live!

I thought he was just a light "skinded" black man!

He's got more Negroid features than half my BLACK family.
Self-hate is a powerful thing.

rikyrah: His "HAIR CUT" resembles that of Mr. President. He is "CONFUSED!"
BEAT DOWN on the one hand. IMITATE on the other?? "CONFUSED!!"
BUT, He cain't use the "CONFUSED" defense!!
P.S. The memo said that Ralph Nicoletti had engaged in criminal activity since he was 14. He faces state charges of committing a hate-crime assault in connection with the first attack on the night of Nov. 4. While out on bail, the authorities said, he punched one of his co-defendants, Mr. Contreras, believing he had been cooperating with the authorities.
THIS action shoulda given Contreras the "IDEA" that HE was just a NEGRA 2!!
CONFUSED - - I tell U!!
Guess he'll be assigned to the "CONFUSED WING of the PRISON!"
The name Contreras is of Spanish origin. This moron might be Latino-ish. DAMN. Unfortunately stupid knows no color and hate finds its way into any willing heart.

What is Kenyon Martin doing going around looking for black people to beat up???

Well like they say...nobody hates harder than family (see - J. Edgar Hoover)

Indeed!!! He has clearly internalized a life of shame and self-loathing about the color of his skin, and it has warped the content of his character.
