I spoke face to face with Scharfenberger for about 5 minutes last night and he didn't mention it, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.
I would welcome the opportunity to appear before the Middletown Human Rights Commission about this issue. I hope it will be the best attended meeting of the commission ever and that there are many black, white, hispanic and asian residents present.
UPDATE:
Gaffney reports that NAACP representatives Lorenzo Dangler, president of the Greater Long Branch chapter; Pastor Henry P. Davis, of the Greater Red Bank chapter; and Lionel Wilson, of the Bayshore chapter, were in attendance. They must have gotten notice.
Funny that none of The
Looks like I was set up.
I call on Mayor Scharfenberger to compel another meeting of the Middletown Human Rights Commission on this issue with proper notice.
I will also be consulting with my attorneys regarding taking action against the Township of Middletown, the NAACP and the owners of The

justified right ... What is your point by this post?
So Art,
Why in the world does Middltown have a "Human Right's Commission?"
I mean, I'm aware of the Human Rights tragedies occuring in Darfur that need our attention, but I was truly in the dark about the spreading Middletown atrocities.
Shall I notify Amnesty International? The Red Cross? Sean Penn?
Last time I checked, the Census said Middltown was 93% white and had a middle class median income.
Was a commission formed because middle class white people are under attack?
Oh wait! What am I thinking? Of course they're under attack.
Obama's up 5 points in the polls. Now I want to join that Commission.
So, I understand the Middletown Human Rights Commission met last night, becuase they wanted to confront you on the issues.
Using unparalled courage, in an act saluting the concept of due process not seen since the passage of the 14th Amendment itself, they made sure not to invite you.
Let me see if I can write a similar headline:
"Prize fight tonight. Ali vs Frazier. Mr. Frazier will not be invited."
Good grief.
Now, If I undertand correctly, the Human Rights Commission wanted to to look racism right in the eye and confront the racists.
They only invited one another.
Apparanty they've narrowed down the identity of the racists.
Please offer my congratuations to Mr. Dangler for confirming that white people such as yourself are forbidden from discussing race.
Senator Obama and MSNBC were having great diffucluty getting that message out, despite continuous attempts.
I just thank Jesus that the NAACP kept thier focus on you, who asked to start a dialouge, and didn't get distracted by that small matter of a Bar in Asbury Park violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act by excluding two black people from the place (some people will complain about any old small potatos, won't they)?
Good job, Dangler.
Oh and tell the Mayor of Middletown I said if he wants to be a Civil Right's hero, there is a High School in Asbury Park that the state segregated by race.
Can I interest him in a cross busing relationship betwen Middletown and Asbury Park, so we can desegregate both town's High Schools?
Now that's a real issue. That would be a real world test of his comittment to Civil Rights.
