A makeshift “black people”-only food cart caused plenty of indigestion Thursday in the Bronx, outraging onlookers who called the stunt racist. A man and a woman set up the cart around 9 a.m. outside Bronx Supreme Court, advertising their free doughnuts and juice on Styrofoam plates. Their three handmade signs read: “Free Food For Black People.” Passersby weren’t amused. “Are you kidding me? If I did something like that, it would be considered hate,” railed one woman, who was repeatedly denied any grub when she confronted the duo. A young man running the cart also refused to serve a Post reporter. And the woman insisted the cart was not restricted to just African-Americans. “Mexican people are black,” she offered. The pair closed up shop around 10:30 a.m. ------------------------------ The U.S. voted against a U.N. Human Rights Council resolution that condemns the death penalty for those found guilty of committing consensual same-sex sexual acts. The resolution introduced by Belgium, Benin, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia and Switzerland passed by a 27-13 vote margin. ------------------------------ A new report by Chicago's inspector general alleges millions in wasteful spending and widespread mismanagement of overtime pay in the Chicago Police Department. The issue was so important to the department that Superintendent Eddie Johnson said he had to address it himself, even though he isn't officially back on the job five weeks after he had a kidney transplant.
