Mary Znidarsic-Nicosia and her husband, Nicholas Nicosia, wanted to clear their names after being accused of throwing a racist party. So, they made a plan and held a press conference this week.

Step one: The wealthy, white couple from Rochester, N.Y., adamantly defended themselves against what Znidarsic-Nicosia called "false claims of racism."

Step two: Znidarsic-Nicosia confessed to a room full of reporters that she also happens to run a racist, anonymous Twitter account.

"In full disclosure, I do have a Twitter parody account that operates under a veil of a persona — and I have made blatantly racist comments under that persona," she admitted.

"The culture of Twitter operates that way. It gives you an opportunity to be someone you're not," she explained.

The couple came under fire after being named in a notice to sue filed by Jerrod Jones, a Rochester firefighter, against the city and the fire department. Jones, who is Black, said his former captain, Jeffrey Krywy, ordered him and other firefighters to attend the party thrown by the Nicosias on July 7, while they were all on duty.

5. They used KFC buckets and watermelon rinds as party decor...

Among a host of other vile ‘entertainment’ which mocked local Democratic politicians and pronoun pejoratives.

A deleted Tweet from an attendee also showed an entire shelf full of golliwog and mammy dolls among other trinkets denoting racist memes.

They’re both among the most disgusting echelon of racist perpetrators.

She’s now on the “cancel culture” rant as the society types in Rochester area have shunned them from their gatherings and boards of directors…

6. "It gives you an opportunity to be someone you're not," she explained.

Or, it show everyone who you really are.

I am reminded of what Michelle Obama said - "Being president," she said, "doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are."

12. Disgusting !

In the video of the press conference, the dentist looks like he is swishing around some mouthwash - for quite a long time. NOt once did he show his teeth. It was a nervous response I'm sure.
The attorney is really in the sewer with them.
I hope they get booted from every position, title and social standing. They don't deserve the freedoms they enjoy. Disgusting!
