Better times.
The “apology nazis” are a pet peeve of mine, the positively mild , innocuous statements that are considered “offensive” nowadays, ugh.
Thank goodness for Internet anonymity so one can speak one’s mind without being persecuted.

BTW, is Rizzo the guy who ordered a bomb dropped on a house that some radical group had holed up in? Or was that someone else? (I’m too lazy to Google, sorry).

Is their any connection between this and the Alzheimer’s article you posted just before this one?

Blacks have ruined Philly. They’ve also ruined Upper Darby,and are expanding to ruin other formerly nice blue collar neighborhoods. They are a plague.

Frank Rizzo? Isn’t that the guy from the Jerky Boys tapes?

What the NYT will never tell you:
Rizzo Very Popular With African-Americans!
While Rizzo had absolutely no patience with race-baiters, he was popular in black neighborhoods because he kept thuggery down and the PPD often received instructions like , "I want to see their goddam teeth in the street .... those are your instructions."
And as popular as he was among the good people the 'hood, black police officers performed brilliantly for him because they knew Rizzo "had their backs" when Philadelphia's Liberals invariably complained about "police brutality."
The NYT will also never tell you about Rizzo's work in WWII. Or that Philadelphis was a very livable city before Wilson Good, whose only talent was his ability to display melanin.
