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

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

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!

“There are some white folks who don’t feel their views on certain issues are welcome in the conversation.”

And critics believe – ironically – that the mayor’s reaction to the story validates that point.

Bingo............

Just five days ago, Sens Cruz and Feinstein discussed the First Amendment in the context of banning guns.

Cruz to Feinstein: "Would she deem it consistent with the Bill of Rights for Congress to engage in the same endeavor that we are contemplating doing with the Second Amendment in the context of the First or Fourth Amendment, namely, would she consider it constitutional for Congress to specify that the First Amendment shall apply only to the following books and shall not apply to the books that Congress has deemed outside the protection of the Bill of Rights?

Naturally, Feinstein wouldn't answer the question, instead accused Cruz of treating her "like a sixth grader."

Frankly, she and all other Democrat tyrants would LOVE it if they could determine what you were allowed to read.

Who the heck is the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission?

Pic: Rue Landau is the first lesbian Executive Director of the Human Relations Commission. Landau is a very lively person and a supporter of LGBTQ rights.

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.

>>>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.”
