Just imagine for a moment a white mayor proclaiming that, "The white folks are in charge here!"
To: Lancey Howard
Funny thing is, Mayor Street is a very smart man who has matured greatly over the past 25 years or so. He is way, way better than Wilson Goode ever was, and he should know better than to say this crazy stuff.

What do you think about this?
To: Lancey Howard
These are the types of politicians and political-speak we have to rid our country of. This Mayor knows better. It's an embarassment.

"The brothers and sisters are running the city. Will they still be running the city when the heat comes down for mis-management, corruption, etc?
To: Lancey Howard
Not much of a recommendation.......the schools have been taken over by the state, the city is fighting to keep the wage tax, crime is rampant, corruption is in every corner, including the police force...... but the brothers and sisters are running the city..........

LOL!!
You only need to change that first ' n ' in 'running' to an ' i '.....
To: Lancey Howard
He and others like him, do other blacks no good at all, with this kind of behavior. You claim that he has " matured in the past 25 years " and is a good man. You can't prove it by his original statement. He's a fool and dnagerous.
This kind of mentality is what destroys good will amongst all people. It's not as thugh Philly is the FIRST black run city, in this nation. What is he SO proud of ? What milestone / glass ceiling was breached ?
People and statements , such as this, turn nonracists into racists.

Come over here and tell us what you think.........
To: Lancey Howard
The brothers and sisters are running this city. Running it! Don't let nobody fool you, we are in charge of the City of Brotherly Love . Funny, being from the West Coast I use to think of Philadelphia as a place of much history and where our great founders walked and worked. Now when I think of Philadelphia, I think of riots and racist black Mayors.

Now when I think of Philadelphia, I think of riots and racist black Mayors. We don't have to many riots .. but there was that time they burned down a whole block of homes

Yes, I remember when Al Haig said he was in charge,
"Yo, Bro Al-You're the MAN"

That's right, the currents riots were in Cincinatti. And I remember when they dropped the bomb or something on the roof of that home in Philly, and it burned down the entire block down. Not a great move on the tactics of the Police.
To: Mo1
We moved here during his campaign for Mayor......I remember seeing the ads showing a little of his "interesting" background.......
To: Lancey Howard
Another major U.S. city where white flight is becoming the trend. Then we'll see how well the "brothers and sisters" are running things.
To: Mo1
.. but there was that time they burned down a whole block of homes.. Ummm...didn't Mayor Goode do that :)
Every time I see Street on the local news, I wonder, Does this man not have anyone to help him "spruce himself up" a bit ?...he always looks like he spent the night on a park bench
Go Flyers !!

Would that be "government of the brothers, by the brothers, and for the brothers"?
On the bright side, they can now officially be called racists, because they now have power. All those years that we have been told that blacks can't be racist because they have no power are over.
