But Eric Holder said we would be discussing race if we weren’t such cowards
The article longish, but well worth the read for those who want to see want the fuss is all about. It's entitled, Being White in Philly. I think some of the hysteria is caused by thoughts expressed in the comment section (which the mag has not shut down and which includes over 4000 comments at this time). One commenter whose mother sent him to a mostly black school narrated what total Hell life was there, and boy, the conversation got, ahem, "lively"!! It's worth reading now, because they will likely close the comments section at some point. It's there that you get "the rest of the story."
My “favorite” part of the article was the squishy leftist, yuppie white mother who insisted she would put her kid into the local school, as if she needed to prove how “open minded” she was.
Philadelphia was a great city, then the sixties happened.
If the article is renamed “being black in Philly” and the same type of
experiences related from the black perspective , it will be fine.
Then do it twit. Put your kids in an inner city school. and you be sure to drive them back and forth every day. Hope you enjoy the experience.
Isn’t the cretin mayor calling people “white folks” racist? Why doesn’t the anti-First-Amendment racist mayor pinhead STFU?
And so what if it was? The magazine should tell the mayor to pound sand!
white kid in black gradeschool 15 days ago −"Jen" BTW is the white woman whose model of "reaching out" we're supposed to follow.
As I white kid whose well-meaning parents enrolled him in a majority black school for the same noble reasons as "Jen", I just have to say that that decision is really negligent. I love how she makes it about herself. I love my parents dearly and have never told them about how lonely and terrifying it was to be one of the only white kids in my grade school. I love them too much to put that kind of guilt on them. I was constantly teased, picked on, and bullied by a few kids... and even the nicer kids never seemed to display any sort of empathy. Given the state of race relations in this country, and the overt disdain black people have for whites, I don't suppose I see how that would be surprising. Whites only think racism goes one way... they have no idea what its like for those of us in the trenches. Especially kids. 2054 15 ReplyShare
Couldn’t the Schuykill and Delaware simultaneously flood?
Just sayin' ...
Didn’t Eric Holder say we are all cowards? Wonder why.
Graft and corruption are ubiquitous as well.
It seems almost an entitlement for [rrbpcp] politicians.
Frightening stuff, and the article was incredibly mild.
We are dealing with evil left wing racists.
Mayor Nutter should be in a jail cell right now for conspiracy to deny Costitutional rights of freedom of speech of freedom of the press.
He is certainly free to express opposing opinions, but for a public official to attmept to deny a publication the right to what is clearly 100% protected free speech is outrageous and if it is not criminal, it should be.
> Democrat tyrants would LOVE it if they could determine what
> you were allowed to read.
They already control what’s allowed to be read and said in the government schools and secular “universities”.
The good little commies have even “speech codes” in these institutions.
The Public School has become the bus ministry of the state church of secular humanism.
If you are White, you have no right to free speech about race. If you are Christian or Jewish you have no right to free speech about bearded savages. If you are normal, you have no right to free speech about fang-toothed feminazis.
I live 20 miles from Philly and will not visit that city.
If Nutter want to investigate something why doesent he investigate why he cannot control black against black crime! Or any crime for that matter! The best place in Philly is the Airport to get the flock outta there!
The place is a piss pot of criminals!
