ELMONT NY - After last night’s Elmont Coalition for Sustainable Development (ECSD) meeting at the Elmont Public Library; Joe Smith, husband of Sandra Smith who chairs the Coalition, shouted anti-gay and racist slurs, at Elmont’s Iraq War veteran Carl Achille. Smith was heard shouting “you uppity nigger”, just before he lunged at Achille.
With Smith’s hands firmly clutching Achille’s neck, he pushed the young man onto one of the tables that formed the U shaped arrangement set in place for the meeting by library staff.
The sustained assault was eventually broken up by Elmont Library Trustee Patrick Nicolosi. As Smith was being pulled from his position above Achille he continued shouting profanity adding that he did not care that Achille was in law enforcement.
Smith, Smith, Lawes, and Hall represent the Republican establishment in Elmont. Residents are now openly asking, “Is the Elmont Public Library a place for civil discourse or the new Republican front for the war on reason and Elmont residents.”
This is not the first time Joe Smith, a Prisco apologist, has shown his “Ciotti Prisco” like predisposition at the Elmont Public Library. On February 13, 2012, Smith with Tania Lawes and Anne DeMichael acting as cheerleaders demonstrated his thug like manner in very same room.
“I am hurt that a sixty year old black man would call me an “uppity nigger” said Achille. “I attended Elmont Schools, defended my country and returned to my community to give back to the people that gave me so much.”
Many who witnessed the altercation applauded Achille’s restraint.
The phrase “uppity nigger” is an old pejorative used by [some] whites and “[some] white anointed blacks” to put generally young black men, but mostly noconformist blacks “in their place”. This plantation mental set is evident even today in Elmont.
A formal report was filed with the Nassau County Police Department.

Wow talk about stirring the pot there Elmont Online.
Poor Pat Nicolosi, he seems to be the only guy who got up and stopped this from getting worse.... I guess in the Elmont Onlines twisted racist world, Pat, in a way was keeping two brothers down.
Shame on Elmont Online your Racist anti white views continue as usual.
before you voice an opinion that paints you as something other than the wonderful human being you are
That being said, I am a conservative Republican and I am white. I am appalled by the references to "terms used by whites" as well as "new Republican front" as mentioned in the e-mail that I received. One bad apple does not go for the whole bunch. Bad behavior is bad behavior. Period.
Clearly used by some African Americans as well, for which they should be held accountable and not place the blame elsewhere. I still don't understand the point of ascribing the pejorative to any specific ethnic or racial group. Anyone who uses it, for whatever reason, is wrong. Is that not enough in this day and age?
