Look what I found in Craigslist's Rant and Rave section. (Chicago: neighborhood, schools)

Sound familiar? Interesting.

"THE CITY OF CHICAGO WANTS LATINOS OUT!! NOW THAT THE WHITES COME THEY WANT TO FIX SCHOOLS AND MAKE THE SERVICES GOOD. HUMBOLDT PK USE TO BE A "REAL" NEIGHBORHOOD WITH REAL PEOPLE. IT MEANT SOMETHING TO REP HUMBOLDT PK. THERE IS SO MUCH RACISM IN CHICAGO. THE CITY IS WELCOMING THESE WHTIES,EVEN FROM OTHER STATES TO PUSH US OUT. I WILL AWAYS BE A LEGEND IN THE AREA BUT I THINK OF HOW MY KIDS AND COUSINS AND PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO ENJOY IT. IT'S PART OF OUR HISTORY,A SLICE OF PUERTO RICO IN CHICAGO. HUMBOLDT PK IS SOFT NOW. I REMEBER WHEN YOU COULDN'T COME IN THE PARK IF YOU DIDNT KNOW SOMEBODY OR YOU HAD TO STAY ON ONE SIDE OF THE PK.IT'S SAD NOW, ALL YOU SEE ARE WHITES DRINKING COFFEE AND WALKING DOGS. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TAKE OUR AREA?"

Will my flags come down?-humboldt pk invasion

"Humboldt pk has changed so much. It was once an interesting area. What's happening to all the culture in the city. I can remember when you had to be somebody or know somebody to live in humboldt pk. How long before my beloved flags come down? I see all these yuppies and fake rock stars. The majority of these people are not from chicago. They come from michigan,ohio,california, and other places. I remeber going to the park and hearing salsa and people just hanging out. Now all you see is whites drinking coffee while walking with their dogs. There use to be so many characters in humboldt pk. I now see how the city is pouring so much money into humboldt pk. They got cops everywhere,keep it clean,and now they want to fix the schools. Why didn't they do this years ago? As soon as the whites come they want to fix everything. I guess you won't see very many puerto ricans in humboldt pk soon. I wonder how long before they ask for the flags to come down? There is a good video on u tube about the humboldt pk invasion. Can't we have anything that is uniquely puerto rican?"
