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

I used to call on customers in the Philadelphia area.
I always overnighted in Valley Forge.

It’s a great job, just a lot of work.

They left out the rest of the quote: "Yeah, the books are very heavy and the fire is very hot. I keep getting singed and my clothes smell like smoke. But I just love my job."

Bet you were safe at Valley Forge. Probably much better view. Great Historic significance.

When late night talk show hosts aren’t allowed to tell jokes about President Obama then I’ll get worried...

Did you look at her pic? Very revealing?

Educated, professional blacks have always told me that they form Black Professional Associations “because white folks won’t listen to blacks in those contexts.” When I ask them how they justify essentially overturning all the work done by people of all races to overcome segregation, they go silent and look uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s our turn.

Naw...that would be racist.

Everyone is really tired of this one-sidedness.

> Naturally, Feinstein wouldn’t answer the question, instead accused Cruz of treating her “like a sixth grader.”

You mean he schooled you on constitutional law, one of his areas of expertise. Maybe you need to go back to school and reread the Constitution Ms. Fenstein. You might find out why he thought you were a little lacking on the subject.

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.

“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.

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

Philadelphia is a lost cause.

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

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

But not wrong or inaccurate.

"...after a well-known magazine published an essay that explored perspectives of white citizens on the issue of race relations. ..."

Gosh, no! We can't have that.

A realtive of mine had a store- less than 15% of here clientelle were [race removed by PC POLICE] but 90% of the shoplifter caught were [race removed by PC POLICE]and nearly ALL the checks written by [race removed by PC POLICE]bounced.

She could not put up a sign saying "No checks from [race removed by PC POLICE] could she? Or follow them around, without being threatened...

But Gosh we can't have her express that, can we...

“I find it chilling that he now wants to use the government to censor a news outlet,” he said. “As a journalist – as someone who thinks free speech is really important – I find that really, really troubling.”

Journalism exists to parrot the Rat party line. He must not have received the memo yet.

The effort, in this current culture, is to de-humanize Whitey. In summary, Whitey can’t discuss “race” because they are not a race unto themselves. Only the blacks are a true “race” and all others who identify with a color (as defined by blacks) are less than human. When speaking of “race”, one must only recognize that blacks are human.

Sound familiar?

And Nutter is also declaring that the hatred of Whites by Blacks (in his view) is so overarching that when it comes to anything even approaching or potentially involving race (which includes any real discussion of the streets of Philly), White’s don’t exist, have NO voice, and should STFU.
