Levy caught in storm over use of ethnic name

County Executive Steve Levy's mouth got him into trouble again last week. This time over a single word he used toward the end of remarks to a crowd at a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday memorial breakfast.

Levy took to the podium to talk about how the number of black police officers had increased on his watch.

He talked about how Long Island is the third most segregated region in the United States, and told an audience of 800, which included whites, blacks and Latinos, that there was a long way to go to get to King's dream of equality.

Levy talked about a measure against housing discrimination that he had signed into law. And then he went on to add: "Even Shaniqua could file a complaint" or buy a house.

Ten people who were there told me they heard the remark and the nervous laughter from the crowd that followed.

On Friday, Levy said he had no idea that - although there are African-American women who proudly bear the name Shaniqua - the moniker could be used as a stereotype of a young, black female from the ghetto.

But there were people in the room who did know that.

"Our jaws dropped," said Andrea Cohen of the Suffolk County branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. "We looked at each other in amazement," she said.

The Rev. Roderick A. Pearson, pastor of St. Mark Remnant Ministries in Central Islip, said people at his table were stunned too. "They looked at me," he said, "and said, 'Did he really say that?' "

Pearson said he began to receive phone calls from people of different races saying they had been offended.

Pearson, who heads the Central Islip branch of the NAACP and Levy's African American Advisory Committee, said he has a warm relationship with Levy - which is why he talked to the county executive about the complaints by telephone later in the week. "I think that in trying to be humorous, there was a lack of sensitivity because of the stereotyping of who and what 'Shaniqua' is," Pearson said. "That stereotype is insulting to black women."

In an interview on Friday, Levy told me, "I had no idea that that name was any different than any other name in the African-American community."

He said that he would not use it again when talking about the county's housing law. But Levy also stressed - and there were those at the breakfast who agreed with him - that he intended no offense.

"What shouldn't be lost here is that I was using the name to drive home the point that discrimination will not be tolerated," Levy said.

He said he had selected a series of ethnic sounding names in his remarks - as he has done in the past, he said - to say that housing must be open to everyone, no matter their background.

The Rev. Charles Coverdale, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Riverhead, which has run the memorial breakfast for 25 years, said that neither he nor members of his church that he had talked to found offense in Levy's remark.

"I think that by using that personal name that he was saying that Shaniqua was not going to be left out," said Coverdale, who noted that he has a young woman in his congregation named Shaniqua.

He said that whenever different people of different backgrounds come together there are bound to be misunderstandings. "If we are to make any headway, like Dr. King wanted," he said, "we have to understand that what is a nuance to us is not necessarily a nuance to anyone else."

The pastor's words are wise. And true. But it is also true that Levy, in his fight against illegal immigration, has drawn criticism for making insensitive remarks about "anchor babies" and a joke about deporting "the guys in the kitchen" during a roast. Repeatedly, he shows a penchant for being out of touch with the diverse community he was elected to serve. Saying he didn't intend to offend makes the offense no more bearable.

"With his history, he has to realize that it doesn't matter what his intent was, what matters is the outcome," said Tracey Edwards, regional director of the Long Island NAACP, whose 11 chapter presidents took up the matter on Saturday. "The comments keep on coming, and they have to stop." Edwards, who said she is a Levy supporter, said the NAACP decided to send Levy a letter, and that she intends to follow that up with a telephone call and with the suggestion that Levy go through a diversity training program.

It is essential that Levy stop and think before he speaks. And as for "Shaniqua": Even if Levy didn't know, history should have taught him to surround himself with people who do. Especially if he wants to be governor of an increasingly diverse New York State.

My tio Hector was in the kitchen that day and he want to be a Suffolk police officer but he's not the right color. Shaniqua who is married to my tio Hector is was offended by Mr. Levy that was not hired by the Suffolk police too she complain that's why mr. Levy was using her name. Their kind are not wanted in the nassau police or Suffolk police. It's time for people like mr. Levy to move to the move and start his own tribe there.

Interesting how Suffolk- Anti Levyites are now applauding the likes of Al Sharpton. Boy you must truely dislike Steve to align yourselves with Al. Is that what you really want? Interesting. Politics make strange bedfellows. I wonder if you'll feel the same way once Sharton organizes a motorcade rally in front of one your homes after an alleged police/minority incident.

This is why Steve Levy wants to replace the Suffolk County Police Department with the Sheriff's, so he has control on who is hired or not. This is a disgrace from a person who does not like minorities and will get people in he does. At least with the Police Dept they are strict on applicants and if you do not past the tests or qualifications you are out. It is known through out Suffolk County that the Sheriff's are a political spots, they do not even have to go through a polygraph test and pass to get on the job, imagine that. Steve Levy can say who is hired or not there needs to be checks and balances for honest law enforcement officers.

Did they pass the civil service entrance exam?

Did they pass the physical agility?

Did they pass the background?

Are they of moral character??

Did they meet the minimum requirements for the job?

Many white males also failed the above. And they never got the job, either.

Civil Service exams give everyone an equal chance. You can't pass it, too bad.

Society owes them nothing. Not for quotas, or demographics. That is total bullshit.

Scpd, ncpd, nypd papd, mtapd all have some form of minority recruitment, and make an effort to hire minorities. All are scrutinized by the state and feds to make sure they do hire fairly.

Maybe the best applicants get hired, maybe they dont, the appearance, however tells a different story. And thats everything

One of the questions was, are they any black female deputy's, someone said "None" I don't believe there are not any,,,,,,,,,, BUT

Levy has already shown he is a hater, he does not fess up on anything until someone calls him on it, when he backed off the podium after the remark, one of his boys probably said" Shaniqua" ha funny Steve, he said, I know.
Now get back or I'll deport you back to Europe.

That's been the only drawback to civil service. Some questionable background checks can be remedied with a phone call.

But hiring someone only because of their race and color, and not their qualifications is wrong as well.

Dont worry about it, these people posting here are not even cops, maybe deps who are stirring shit. Fact is some of the best cops i worked next too were black, and its not something you think about either. When they are coming to help you out you arent thinking is this a white cop or a black cop? SCPD has been excellent in not hiring based on skin color and hiring the qualified candidate. Im sure Levy will try to screw that up too.

I guess you are not White because you can't write for sh)t first of all. This is coming from a person that was not even born in this country telling you this. Yeah you did pass by your school not went to school. How do you write a higher mark on a police test explain it to me please? I have a mother and a father (that I know), went to college, no arrest record, yes almost forgot I write a higher mark too and I'm a police officer in the SCPD does this makes me White person?

Why so hard, I think all he was saying was that the people who write the highest marks should get the job. Why all of the other shit.

[not smart...]

What a big line of BS. Some of the posts are to funny for words
Lets say SCPD need 50 new bodies OK ?
Now for the hell of it, the top 49 are Negros [ can I say that ?]
would anyone bitch? nope not a chance.
But if the the top 49 are not Negros they scream and yell RACISTS

Not how it works, for starters the entrance exam does not mean you are hired, it means you are the 1st to interview for the background, pysche, physical, polygraph, drug test, etc.


And its not scpd, its the deps we are discussing

I sure Levy will pull a FDNY and force SCPD to hire 3 out of 5 new recruits as minorities. You'll see.....forced dumb down hiring.

Ok raise your hand if you are trying to back your other stupid post point of view by playing another person on this one. There can't be two people in this world that can write as bad as you and use the same words. What the fcuk is 'write the highest mark?'

In your little world your racists theoryis still in effect that the brain of the whites is bigger than the blacks or any. Non white. Well in my little world my dick is bigger than you whites and that is a fact I can prove.I don't date Shanique you see she can always find big dicks in the hood. I only do damage with my big dick to Peggy or Mary because they can't find that many big dicks in their world. This this theory is called a penis envy, yours is called a racist.

Levy caught in storm over use of ethnic name

County Executive Steve Levy's mouth got him into trouble again last week. This time over a single word he used toward the end of remarks to a crowd at a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday memorial breakfast.

Levy took to the podium to talk about how the number of black police officers had increased on his watch.

He talked about how Long Island is the third most segregated region in the United States, and told an audience of 800, which included whites, blacks and Latinos, that there was a long way to go to get to King's dream of equality.

Levy talked about a measure against housing discrimination that he had signed into law. And then he went on to add: "Even Shaniqua could file a complaint" or buy a house.

Ten people who were there told me they heard the remark and the nervous laughter from the crowd that followed.

On Friday, Levy said he had no idea that - although there are African-American women who proudly bear the name Shaniqua - the moniker could be used as a stereotype of a young, black female from the ghetto.

But there were people in the room who did know that.

"Our jaws dropped," said Andrea Cohen of the Suffolk County branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. "We looked at each other in amazement," she said.

The Rev. Roderick A. Pearson, pastor of St. Mark Remnant Ministries in Central Islip, said people at his table were stunned too. "They looked at me," he said, "and said, 'Did he really say that?' "

Pearson said he began to receive phone calls from people of different races saying they had been offended.

Pearson, who heads the Central Islip branch of the NAACP and Levy's African American Advisory Committee, said he has a warm relationship with Levy - which is why he talked to the county executive about the complaints by telephone later in the week. "I think that in trying to be humorous, there was a lack of sensitivity because of the stereotyping of who and what 'Shaniqua' is," Pearson said. "That stereotype is insulting to black women."

In an interview on Friday, Levy told me, "I had no idea that that name was any different than any other name in the African-American community."

He said that he would not use it again when talking about the county's housing law. But Levy also stressed - and there were those at the breakfast who agreed with him - that he intended no offense.

"What shouldn't be lost here is that I was using the name to drive home the point that discrimination will not be tolerated," Levy said.

He said he had selected a series of ethnic sounding names in his remarks - as he has done in the past, he said - to say that housing must be open to everyone, no matter their background.

The Rev. Charles Coverdale, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Riverhead, which has run the memorial breakfast for 25 years, said that neither he nor members of his church that he had talked to found offense in Levy's remark.

"I think that by using that personal name that he was saying that Shaniqua was not going to be left out," said Coverdale, who noted that he has a young woman in his congregation named Shaniqua.

He said that whenever different people of different backgrounds come together there are bound to be misunderstandings. "If we are to make any headway, like Dr. King wanted," he said, "we have to understand that what is a nuance to us is not necessarily a nuance to anyone else."

The pastor's words are wise. And true. But it is also true that Levy, in his fight against illegal immigration, has drawn criticism for making insensitive remarks about "anchor babies" and a joke about deporting "the guys in the kitchen" during a roast. Repeatedly, he shows a penchant for being out of touch with the diverse community he was elected to serve. Saying he didn't intend to offend makes the offense no more bearable.

"With his history, he has to realize that it doesn't matter what his intent was, what matters is the outcome," said Tracey Edwards, regional director of the Long Island NAACP, whose 11 chapter presidents took up the matter on Saturday. "The comments keep on coming, and they have to stop." Edwards, who said she is a Levy supporter, said the NAACP decided to send Levy a letter, and that she intends to follow that up with a telephone call and with the suggestion that Levy go through a diversity training program.

It is essential that Levy stop and think before he speaks. And as for "Shaniqua": Even if Levy didn't know, history should have taught him to surround himself with people who do. Especially if he wants to be governor of an increasingly diverse New York State.As a white guy, I had No Idea of the meaning of Shaniqua. All I can say to the ACLU and NAACP is "come on guys , lighten up", this story is kinda funny, not to mention Educational.

[Unregistered9697856]

As suggested, I googled Shaniqua. Levy is not a racist. What he is is the dumbest son of a bitch known to modern man. The name Levy should be known as a dumb poltician that has far execeeded his talents and seeks to exceed them even further.

I don't see people fighting each other. Aside from the usual report ballbreaking, most posters do not believe in hiring a black female deputy just because she is a black female.

Leaving out the PD/SD infighting, when you lower the standards of the job, you lower the quality of the job.

Hiring someone just because of her race and color accomplishes nothing but placates those who believe the bullshit of "An agency must reflect the community it serves" because they feel an agency is too white and/or too male.

No one wants a black femme dep just because she meets a quota, but are questioning how NOT one black femme (I know of one nypd 10 year veteran who was a narco dic, and eventually a sgt who took the test and did well) who is qualified can get hired?

As for the one you mention, what was her score? Doing well and scoring high are 2 different things.

The NYC FD is going through that similar BS. Seems the judge thinks that since 70 is a passing grade, everyone should be hired. But when you possibly have thousands of people with the same score, well even a 90 wont get you hired on any coveted Civil Service job, be it FD or a PD.

I agree. 100%. But if she scored high like the other poster said, there has to be more to it. Even with no CCRB's, as he pointed out, one has to wonder if there was something there anyway investigators found.

I really doubt in todays society, someone would risk their job as to do something so blatantly discriminatory.

Lets be honest, with all the layers of investigation, if someone wanted to discourage, postpone, or dq a applicant, no matter how qualified they are, it can be done.
For example, during the finance investigation, a applicant reveals her current salary to be 90k. Her expenses for the year are 76k. Her financial situation would not allow her to survive with the drop in pay. She is not offered a academy spot
The next applicant walks in he has a similiar situation, but is told if he gets an notarized letter from his parents, or other relative that state they will assist him, he will be allowed to continue to the next portion of the investigation.

And as wrong as the above situations are, so is just hiring them because of their race.

Today's SO has about as much in common with the SO of 200 years ago as it does with the sheriff of Nottingham. It morphed into a self serving vestige of a department many years ago. It was the one sector of county government that the old families of the island could send their (not so successful) scions. Of course civil service changed that to a large degree, and it's members are certainly more competent and professional, but the organization itself is still primarily a political one, and not mission oriented to public service.

Maybe their backgrounds weren't up to snuff. I know a few NYPD who didn't get SCPD because of issues. You have the green light to prove discrimination. Call Rev. Al and Jesse for help. And maybe they didn't score as high.

Didn't SCPD have 30,000 or more apply for like 300 jobs? Now you may have 3000 people with the exact same score (which could be 100, 99, 98).

So 9,000 people with perfect or near perfect scores going for 300 spots gives them a 1 in 30 chance of getting hired.

Background and psych disqualify many people as well. Of all colors. Bad driving records, bad credit can disqualify many as well.

Call Newsday and tell them to look into it. After you call Rev. Al.

Scpd did hire female black officers and have promoted them.
I think we are all aware of the many layers of scrutiny of these candidates, and the many options available to the investigator as far as weeding out or not weeding out their candidates....but as the post prior stated, why was the black female not given the opportunity to get a notorized letter like the white male? There is no written standard for hiring in the deps applicant investigation process. One candidate without a hook is dqed for smoking weed, another is given a pass because it happened more then a year ago.
One is dqed for not reporting income, another is given a pass because it was less then 10k

You mean to tell all of us that out of all the applicants not one black female ever was as qualified as the dep applicants that were hired?

Again no one is saying to water down the quals. However looking at the simple requirements of being a sc dep one must ask how is it that you can be a scpd cop, a mta cop, a papd cop, an nypd cop, a ncpd cop, a nys trooper, but somehow not one black female can equal the quals of a suffolk county dep?

Not true, there have been qualified applicants of color, or of the female gender or both passed over for lesser candidates whos brother/neighbor/uncle etc is connected.

The nba requirements are based on simple physical attributes, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Above average Eye hand coordination, you are permitted to have a criminal background, multiple tickets, you are permitted to have poor credit, to be mentally unstable, etc. While it may interfere with your career, and cost you some money, if you are good there will always be a job for you.

Again no one is saying to water down the quals. However looking at the simple requirements of being a sc dep one must ask how is it that you can be a scpd cop, a mta cop, a papd cop, an nypd cop, a ncpd cop, a nys trooper, but somehow not one black female can equal the quals of a suffolk county dep?
The nba is 98 % black
Scsd is 100% non black, non female.


Lack of IQ?

The pastor's words are wise. And true. But it is also true that Levy, in his fight against illegal immigration, has drawn criticism for making insensitive remarks about "anchor babies" and a joke about deporting "the guys in the kitchen" during a roast. Repeatedly, he shows a penchant for being out of touch with the diverse community he was elected to serve. Saying he didn't intend to offend makes the offense no more bearable.


Was Levy elected to serve illegal aliens?

Do you honestly think there is anything anyone can do to the sheriffs dept?
They have such a small force they just simply not worth the feds time.

bitching about it here, however may lead to opening the eyes of a few people. People of the right color and sex that are more then qualified to be a d/sheriff.

cmon now, we all know the d/sheriffs job is the booby prize for those who cannot get on the 30+ police forces out here.
Ask a dep what he scored on his test, many were hired with under an 90, some under an 85. Ask him what he scored on the pd tests, its about the same.

What about us citizens of hispanic descent?
What about us citizens of African descent?

I guess you've ran out of angles.
I seriously doubt anyone expected a revolution by discussing this, or any of the 75 other threads that have been started in the past 30 days, In fact I would have to say, out of all the 18750 threads ever started on this board, not one has lead to anything. Its a simple discussion of facts and opinions
So even that exit angle youve used is shot.

[ehh, hold on...]

The police exam is a psych exam. The black females are either knocked up at 16, have a prior arrest history, not enough education, fail the polygraph, lie on their background, fail the medical, failthe physical, or can't make it through the academy.

So that doesnt explain the black females on scpd, ncpd, papd, mtapd, nys troopers, the towns, villages, basically everywhere but the dep sheriffs.

Please explain that to me?

Let me guess you have pink cheeks. You said all the above lies as if they were facts. Dumb animal life has left you stuck in the 50's.

I've never seen an ad anywhere to become a DS. I always used to see ads for other department exams whether it was online or the paper.
