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.

25 years is about 10 years too long in politics. Especially in Philadelphia.

Mayor Street was a jerk, is a jerk and will forever be a jerk. However, the people of Philthydelphia have the right to elect a criminal as mayor if they see fit to do so.

Just glad *I* don't have to live in that "city".

...he should know better than to say this crazy stuff...the real irony is that Street was a loudmouth activist firebrand when he was young - breaking into meetings, disrupting council sessions, etc etc - he would have been the first to protest had some white mayor said something equally as divisive - before he "matured".....
