and juniper you are right, thats why i put it in the Negative column for Philadelphia(we arent talking about Nebraska or DC)

i'm not yelling at you. i supporting you....i just know that i've faced a lot
of racism myself in the nyc area. i guess its all about frame of reference. sorry.

yes and if the question was about NYC, I would have said one of the negatives there is Racism also.

i know you were yelling, i just dont know why people get off topic as the topic was the Negatives and Positives of Philly

Remember, if you take away guns from the law-abiding citizens, only the crooks will be armed.
