Comment string to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's coverage of the long hot weekend at the Lakefront is a timely reminder that maybe we're not postracial after all.
Commenter "taxed like they mean it" manages to distil the essence of many comments:
I love how everyone says race is not the issue. Look at the former
Northridge Mall. As soon as blacks went there it went to hell. Mayfair
is now their next target and it is going to hell. Bradford beach and
Lincoln Memorial Dr. are fine on any day, but a nice summer day. Oh
yeah, those just happen to be the days that blacks go there.
You can take a person out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto
out of the person!
And remember, there's no racial dog whistles going on in the "Obama's stash" audio clip that Sykes plays ad nausem.
Milwaukee: Still the Selma of the North?
Memory vault: Maybe Mayfair Mall should just institute a whites only policy.
You are right about the "Obama's Stash" clip. Charlie knows his audience, and where he wants to take them.
