the idea that liberals believe in free speech is a joke

[MrB]

It threatens the gravy train to imply that whites are anything but oppressors and blacks anything but victims.

[bboop]

It is a well written and thoughtful article, full of truths that need to be spoken. Ah, there’s the rub.

The problem with Philadelphia ia that un like San Francisco there is no possibility of a cleansing earthquake

He's like that Chicago alderman who thought he had the legal right to suppress Chick-fil-A because the CEO said that he supports the Biblical definition of marriage.

Imbeciles. And despots in the making.

He called the story “disgusting” and an “uninformed, ill-advised, ill-considered, uninspired, and thoroughly unimaginative.”

He forgot "unprofessional." I've noticed that members of a certain demographic group love to use the word "unprofessional" when delivering a public dressing-down to members of another certain demographic group.

Rue Landau, the Human Relations Committee’s executive director, agreed with the mayor’s concerns regarding what she called, “the racial insensitivity and perpetuation of harmful stereotypes portrayed in the Philadelphia Magazine piece.”

ROFLMAO!

I challenge the Director and the Mayor to prove the article wrong by strolling through the worst parts of Philadelphia.....

alone....

unarmed....

and at night!

Rue Landau, What is your job position exactly?

I’m the executive director of the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission and Fair Housing Commission.

How did you get fto this position?

So I was a lawyer for Community Legal Services before I worked for the Human Relations Commission and then I was appointed by Mayor Michael Nutter in 2008. It’s a great job, just a lot of work.

“In a city that is largely poor and segregated, white people have become afraid to say anything at all about race,” Huber wrote

And then Nutter confirmed WHY white folks are intimidated from saying what they really think.

[kitkat]

>>>The commission will also conduct an inquiry into racial issues across the city at the request of the mayor.>>>

Yeah sure. I’m certain that it will be “fair and balanced.”

What a dim monster this guy is.

Mayor Michael Nutter (Nutty?)

http://www.opposingviews.com/sites/opposingviews.com/files/imagecache/300x250/philly.jpg

Too old to be one of Obozo’s children, but has the same attitude.

[RoosterRedux]

I just read "Being White in Philly" and found it to be a thoughtful, even respectful, article.

If this is the kind of thing Nutter believes is a problem, we are in more trouble re: race that I previously suspected.

Read the article and see for yourself.

[Pollster1]

“the First Amendment, like other constitutional rights, is not an unfettered right.” . . . “In a city that is largely poor and segregated, white people have become afraid to say anything at all about race . . . Here’s what’s not being said.” But Mayor Nutter believes it should have remained unsaid.

The press supported gutting the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause; ignoring the entire Second Amendment; flagrantly violating the Fourth Amendment with TSA molestation, warrantless searches of email, computer files, and Internet activity; evading the Fifth Amendment with takings under Eminent Domain and without just compensation; and pretending the Ninth and Tenth Amendments never existed. I'm not shocked that the Press is finally the target of big government and is finding that a weakened Bill of Rights is not as much use as it might have been in the past. Mayor Michael Nutter is still shockingly wrong, but my sympathy for his current victims is limited because they are as guilty as he is.

[immadashell]

WOW! Someone finally had the guts to play the “white” card. For libtards that is the equivalent of giving kryptonite to Superman.

[Sir Napsalot]

Philadelphia is a lost cause.

It will only compete with Chicago and/or other large cities to see which one falls right after Detroit.

[DoodleDawg]

He called the story “disgusting” and an “uninformed, ill-advised, ill-considered, uninspired, and thoroughly unimaginative.”

But not wrong or inaccurate.
