The state Senate has continued to hold hearings over alleged housing bias issues across Long Island that were uncovered as part of a multiyear investigation.

Long Island real estate agents were grilled during a seven-hour hearing where officials like state Sen. Todd Kaminsky questioned them on their treatment over minority homebuyers.

"When someone says, 'The Jews took over a community, X took over a community,' it's not meant in a positive way. You know that," says Kaminsky "What they're trying to say is there's an ethnic group in this neighborhood ... you're not part of that ethnic group so you better be careful, and it probably isn't a place you want to live."

It was the second state hearing stemming from a three-year Newsday investigation that uncovered agents from 10 of the Island's largest brokerages who allegedly subjected minority homebuyers to discriminatory treatment.

Back in December, 67 of 68 the professionals did not show up to the hearing, but this time they were subpoenaed to testify. Still, agents insisted they did not discriminate.

"When you said Hispanics had taken over... what did you mean?" Kaminsky asked one realtor.

"To be honest with you, I didn't mean anything by it. I don't know what I meant, it was diarrhea of the mouth," the relator responded.

Elaine Gross, with Erase Racism, was part of the hearing and says the response was appalling.

"Anybody that knows anything about the Fair Housing law knows that what they were doing was discriminatory and there's no dressing it up, and they know that the brokers took no disciplinary action that they are also culpable in this," says Gross.

Another hearing is scheduled for next week.
