And in local news - Racist Facebook rant by Riverhead town attorney’s wife sparks outrage

A racist rant on Facebook by the wife of a Riverhead public official last night sparked outrage on social media and has members of the town’s anti-bias task force calling for his resignation.

The wife of Riverhead town attorney Bob Kozakiewicz posted a public status on her timeline last night using racist slurs and obscene language, urging blacks to “PLEASE LEAVE AMERICA” and to go to Africa.

The Facebook account of Dianne Kozakiewicz, who used the name Dianne Delaney on her Facebook profile, was deactivated this morning.

Her timeline displayed other similar posts. Referring to the NFL, she called NFL football players “BLACK BRATS” and urged them to “go away” and “leave my beautiful country” if they “feel oppressed.”

Another town politician blamed alcohol problems on the rant - and then blamed the people calling her out for her drunken racism.

Supervisor Sean Walter condemned the sentiments expressed by the town attorney’s wife and said she “needs help” with alcohol abuse issues.

The supervisor was also critical of people who reposted screen shots of Dianne Delaney’s posts.

“It is unmitigated hatred that should never be reposted,” he said. “If you see it and you repost it you’re just as guilty in my opinion about propagating that hatred.”

Just another day in an Eastern Liberal Enclave.
