From the New York Post:
Disgraced hedge-fund manager Alphonse “Buddy” Fletcher has lost his long-running battle with The Dakota, the iconic New York co-op he sued for racial discrimination in 2011.
A Manhattan judge late Friday granted the co-op’s motion to dismiss the suit.
Fletcher, a longtime Dakota resident, claimed he was discriminated against when the 131-year-old Upper West Side landmark refused to sell him a fifth apartment. …
The dismissal came one day after Fletcher’s wife, Ellen Pao, said she wouldn’t appeal her failed sex discrimination case against her former employer, Kleiner Perkins, because she didn’t have the resources.
Has anybody yet found a non-Photoshopped photo of the Gruesome Twosome in the same frame?

I have nothing to say about these particular anti-discrimination cases, but it’s amazing the degree to which anti-discrimination laws have been used to completely undermine constitutionally enumerated rights – freedom of speech, religion, the press, assembly, and property. There is no constitutional right not to be discriminated against by a private entity – none. Thus any anti-discrimination law which compromises those fundamental rights is unconstitutional.
A delightful and unsurprising outcome. I just want to know why Buddy Fletcher isn’t yet behind bars.
Black privilege.
The era of the flim flam negro hustler is dying. Don Thompson’s 365 Black vision for McDonalds was all too successful as the image of the venerable hamburger chain became less Ronald McDonald and more Trayvon Martin. Better to take your chances in court with a Buddy Fletcher than put him in charge of clients money. Dick Parsons as CEO of an NBA team makes a lot more sense than CEO of Time Warner. There is only ‘risk’ and no reward with these guys.
Steve,
Your threads are getting so long that I cannot post, at least on my tablet.
You might consider that a feature and not a bug.
Even the Fortune Magazine cover featuring them as “The Odd Couple” is photoshopped. It’s awful these two miserable souls, Fletcher and Pao, can adversely affect so many other people and simply move on. I want so much karma to come crashing down on them that I start to feel sorry. I do already feel sorry for the daughter they had together. I would love for Pao’s previous husband to spill the beans on what an evil, psychopathic bitch Pao is.
They.....had.....a.....baby.....together? Shudder......

I didn't realize that was possible with Photoshop. Does one use the clone tool, or what?
They’ll have to take my Sexbot from my cold, dead hands!

I read this and thought,why doesn’t he sell one of his four apartments so his wife has resources to appeal her case?
I so do not belong in the 1%.
Fletcher is crashing on multiple fronts. His beard /wife. His discrimination suit against the venerable Dakota. He is about to get hit with a sh#tstorm from the investors in his failed hedge fund (case in bankruptcy )
It is a massive hush up job that this member of the “black elite ” has not been uncovered in a massive profile , especially in light of his Harvard African American “studies” chair.
What’s sort of interesting about Fletcher is he treats employees terribly. He used some actually well credentialed “consultants” to help him find deals on an eat what you kill basis. His investments were mind boggingly complex using warrants (options) based on wall st “rocket science” math.
UNFORTUNATELY….
If i had to make a list of crooks and shysters that Obama will pardon circa December 2016-january 2017, Fletcher would be on that list.

“Buddy” is a bizarre and un-trustworthy moniker. I’d like to see its modern but passĂ© parallel used. How about Steve “Homie” Sailer?

It boggles my mind that politically-connected business-insider millionaires with a ton of prime real estate will still try their hand at a ghetto lottery diversity lawsuit.
Do you clowns actually believe that the people they are suing are “good upstanding neighborhood businessmen”?
Can syon be far behind?
What amazes me is that these two professional adventures of the most venal, the most 18th century, the most cinematic kind have found each other and committed to an unholy union. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The story of Pao and Buddy would make for the plot of a fine novel.
I want so much karma to come crashing down on them that I start to feel sorry. I do already feel sorry for the daughter they had together.
They…..had…..a…..baby…..together? Shudder……

In the case of the Dakota Coop Association or whatever its legal title is, I most certainly do believe they are … “good upstanding neighborhood businessmen”
As noted this is a 131 year old landmark and how a guy like Buddy Fletcher came to own 4 units there I’ll leave to your own imagination. In the current instance the Dakota management wanted to see the ‘color’ of Buddy Fletcher’s money for a multimillion dollar property not a ‘note guaranteed by a Cayman Islands corporation backed by a share in a Dubai Development Corporation’ or some variation of that swindle. When Fletcher goes bankrupt the Dakota does not want to be in court for years trying to foreclose on their own goddamned property!
“I just want to know why Buddy Fletcher isn’t yet behind bars.”
Black privilege.
It’s not important what I think. What the courts think, on the other hand…
http://nypost.com/2015/07/12/ellen-pao-hedgie-husband-are-losing-their-power-couple-status/ She looks like a PRC grad student in physics in the above photo. Just trim the hair and put men’s glasses on her. Buddy Fletcher is gay? She is indeterminate.
They are good enough to spot a fraudster and good enough to know people smart enough to verify this.
It’s not important that he lost in court. We all know the shortcomings of Anglo-Saxon law. What is important is having a more diverse co-op board. One that represents the rich tapestry of people who understand that just because a heavily indebted man is black that doesn’t mean he can’t purchase his 5th apartment.
Buddy, he a good kid, he dindu nuffin
If so, it should be captioned “Pao Pao Ooh Mau Mau”.
How do you set up one of these? I ask, because the Caymans (are there Gecko Islands, too?), unlike many small territories, won’t just sell you their Internet domain. You have to prove you do business locally.
The possibilities are legion:

Wow. Truth is back.

Fair bet that the presidential pardon business between November 2016 and noon on January 20th, 2017 is going to make Bill Clinton look inert by comparison. And some Eric Holder-like lackey, if not the great Caribbean-American law enforcement paragon himself, will no doubt again be asked to “investigate” potential pardonees in a fair, well-balanced and ultimately appropriately-outcome result. Donations to the Obama Library will be greatly appreciated to propagate and commemorate the legacy of The One.No quid for the quo,of course, wink wink.
No, Pao can look very feminine and pretty in some photos. I think the press loathes her and purposely uses the unglamorous photos. She looks really good in her Kleiner Perkins profile.
It is fitting that Butty Fletcher was fully emasculated by another Chinese-American woman and Harvard Law grad, Christine Chung, who represented the Dakota.
She looks kind of like this guy.
Oh, wait… this was Illinois.Replies: @Brutusale
In law, we don’t decide needlessly broad issues. The question here had to be, was there some white tenant with shaky finances to whom they were willing to sell five units? As you well know, in the black mind “discrimination” means “failure to treat me unequally.” If all we did was call out and exterminate that formulation, discrimination law woukd be fine.
Ward Churchill was busted for underage drinking in February 1966? But he was 18. 18 and 4 months. WTF?
Oh, wait… this was Illinois.
It amuses me the way people are always denigrating Ms. Pao’s physical appearance, as if her plain face were somehow freakish. I don’t know where you guys got the idea that Chinese women are supposed to be so beautiful, but as a man who spent most of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area, I can assure you, she’s a pretty typical specimen. If she’s not exactly what Chinese women tend to look like, then she’s only very slightly below the average.
She’s just got that ladylawyerjaw. It’s found in angry white collar ballbusters worldwide.
She’s no ĺ…«, but perhaps a äş” or ĺ…?
And where does this rustic Sinic beauty fall on the scale?
LOL, Back in San Jose, in either 1998 or '99, my dad spotted some South Asian character doing the exact same thing, right across the street (my dad was looking out the kitchen window). At least that guy had the discretion to leave his offering in some dense foliage, and was apparently unencumbered with any need to wipe, so no toilet paper was left strewn on the street. But he did take a shit outdoors, in broad daylight, on a suburban street filled with owner-occupied tract homes.

Best be careful bashing on with that “1%” malarkey.
Because there’s bound to be something or other where YOU fall at +2.25 standard deviations. I.e., the top 1% of a standardized distribution.
Sooner or later someone will discover it, and profit from demonizing it.
For what it’s worth “the 1%” of IQ for white people starts at, what, around 137? (That’s with “white” defined so as to include a fairly broad European demographic, including a lot of lower IQ Southern and Eastern Europeans. The Ashkenazim make sure that they only include their fifth or closer cousins when talking about THEIR IQs.)
And for blacks, “the 1%” of IQ starts between 115 and 120. Far less for “inner city” blacks. (Closer to 105, with a population mean of around 70.)
There’s all kinds of 1 percents.
Judging from interviews with him, the progress of his fiscal life, and other public facts, I doubt that Fletcher made his 1% moolazillions based on a 1% IQ. Seems something else was at work.
Probably the same thing that advanced TN Coates, NdG Tyson, and BH Obama to their positions of worship by the masses and concomitant monetary reward. Oh, say, being part of the 13%.

If there are any secretly white survivalist billionaires out there then the simplest way to fix half the immigration problem would be to make millions of white sex robots and sell them at a loss in the 3rd world.

Japanese and Vietnamese women are often quite attractive. Chinese women? Far less so. When you do spot a pretty one, she's usually around ages 18-24. By the time she hits Ellen Pao's age (mid-40s), she's probably going to look a lot like Ellen Pao.Replies: @Father O'Hara

I don’t think the drinking age went from 21 to 18 until the early 70s.
As a native New Yorker married to a Cheesehead, I just enjoy teasing any state with the temerity to have set an age of 21, then blame the state next door for the resulting "blood border". That's bloomberging of the worst sort.
All right, how about “value-transferring elites’?

On the side streets of China this seems to be quite common. I was in Urumqi walking down the street and a kid runs out of a store his parents must have been working at, pulls his pants down, squats on the curb, pulls his pants up and walks back in as though that was natural.
On one of my USCG units the crew would tell stories of "the Phantom Shitter" who went around at night leaving his calling card. Once, on the middle of the wardroom table, where the officers ate.
The selectivity of the Coast Guard took a big hit when the draft and the Vietnam War wound down. Still, this character was quite the outlier. Perhaps he's in rural China now.
You mean the WCTU’s home actually dropped the age of imbibing? I’m stunned.

“Urumqi” sounds like the sound they might make when they do this. Who produces more “night soil”, China or India?

I’m not sure if this has been posted before, but here is the country house that Buddy Fletcher had to sell:

” The castle, sited on 275 acres, has now been listed for $8.85M, a price that includes 275 acres, a stone gatehouse, a guest house, a potting shed, a horse barn, a Sabrina-style chauffeur’s garage with attic apartment, and a rare licensed helipad.”

“Self-serving” is a better modifier. More in line with population ecology/genetics as well.
All groups self-serve. The question is, in what way…and how to rein in that tendency, which among many humans appears to proceed in the direction of greed, corruption, and ultimately the disabling of social evolution.
Not all populations are equally prone to being 2.25+ standard deviations on the curve of self-serving greed. See M.G. Miles’s Those Who Can See blog, the latest entry, on commonweal orientation.
The framers of the US Constitution well understood this and constituted a governmental system designed both to allow and rein in self interest. As Mr. Franklin put it, “A republic. If you can keep it.”
This is where John Lennon and Yoko Ono were living when John was murdered.
