Is Metro Philadelphia - N.J. Racist?

[Eyes]

racism is not a zipcode or geographic issue

racism is an individual decision by adults and training in children
some are openly racist and others are closet types aka cowards..

however like tends to attract like ,, so they tend to be in bunches

all races and ethnics have racists ..

[quote=solibs;11328395]huh, what? some black guy just got dragged to death (underneath a truck) in TX in the last few months by two white guys. You can see what you want to see and make hay out of what you want to. It's the internet - show me the links to the articles on these racist acts.

not knowing a person and assuming they havent been out of center city should mean that you should ask first,[/quote[

it's hyperbole.



I don't care about your resume. Just as mine isn't important. An experience isn't right or wrong. It just is. What you are failing to understand is that your anecdotes are not evidence of fact nor of a trend.




This version is perfectly understandable.

Go back and read your previous post and if you still need help figuring out why it was unintelligible you can start with the missing articles, incomplete thoughts and sentences and missing and misplaced punctuation.

can you post where a black man was dragged to death in Texas in the last few months? black men and white men have been killed in the northeast dor racist issues, cross burned in an interracial couples yard in south philly a fewin 2006. so not sure what your point is on that one.

The suburbs are overall have more racism than Philly, though there may be some complexities with trends of some middle class blacks moving further out and white moving back into the city for various reasons. Also, even within mixed areas, some races still tend to cling to their own "kind" since generally the culture is easier to be a part of.

in the suburbs, you had the pool club incident in Huntingdon Valley. I hear all kinds of stories about people in Brookhaven and Aston being more than uncomfortable with a black person around the area because of Chester's reputation.

Get over the racist whining, last time I checked we had a black president.

This is the way it is in the city, like it or not. Anything else and there is a much higher probability of you being a victim. You see, nasty people often first come in the guise of being "friendly". They are good at what they do. Welcome to the jungle, baby. Trust no one. If you don't want to live like this, stick to the burbs. But then you have to be wary of the much slicker, and likely better resourced, white collar business criminal. They wont kill you, but they can make your financial life hell. Paper robbery. Frankly, I have a hard time trusting a crocodile smiling white businessman walking toward me as well.

Life in the City! I agree.......I just heard the Montco Swim Club is going bankrupt! Good.

Montco swim club in racial flap files for bankruptcy
By Derrick Nunnally

Inquirer Staff Writer

The Huntingdon Valley swim club embroiled in a racial controversy over the summer has filed for bankruptcy.

The Valley Club, which revoked a contract with the Creative Steps day camp after 56 black and Latino children made their first visit to the club June 29, filed a bare-bones petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Monday afternoon.

The step moves the club toward selling off its assets, which the filing states as being between $1 million and $10 million, to pay off its creditors. The bankruptcy petition lists the club's debts as between $100,000 and $500,000 but does not offer further specifics.

good riddance. there is a lot of animosity between some suburban towns and "inner city" people. they don't trust them and
would rather have nothing to do with them.
