Blog Post: Event organized to enlighten those behind Philly Mag's 'Being White in Philly' piece - 1 out of 128 total comment(s)
- Tue., 03/12/13 - 01:53 AMI enjoyed the article and have had similar experiences. I worked in Logan and Olney for years and and was called a racist more than you can imagine. I was a standard customer service job, but still, any time I upheld a policy, I was racist. Good job Philly Mag for finally saying it.
Blog Post: Temple's game at Hawaii called off - 1 out of 17 total comment(s)
- Tue., 11/13/12 - 12:41 PMProbably would have lost to Hawaii anyway. Most teams that travel there for the first time are distracted by the trip and jet lag.
Blog Post: Bradley Cooper's uncle taught De Niro Philadelphian - 2 out of 30 total comment(s)
- Tue., 11/13/12 - 12:37 PMRight..... Because they all are names Mikey, Joey, Danny, Johnny, Timmy, Ronnie and Gino. Way to keep it simple.
- Tue., 11/13/12 - 12:33 PMHe is from Rydal, PA. Like 5 or 10 minutes away from fox chase and Jenkintwon. Not far outside the city at all. You all act like he is from deep in Berks county. Haters! Not all Philadelphians have a south Philly accent. There are many variations of our neighborhood accents.

Blog Post: The wrong explanation for Clayton's tragedy - 1 out of 240 total comment(s)
- Wed., 10/24/12 - 17:02 PMWhat tune would people be singing if it were two white boys and a black girl as the victim? I don't think it's a hate crime though. But if the situation were reversed, al and Jesse probably would be up here demanding justice. Remember the duke lacrosse case? When it's reversed, it is always racism and usually wrong. This girl was a sad victim of a terrible crime and not because of race. Due to nice bike parts. There are some valid points that people are making but just like when it is reversed, mostly inaccurate. Just a sad reality of the country we live in.
Blog Post: Michael Vick confirms he has a dog - 2 out of 101 total comment(s)
- Thu., 10/11/12 - 17:01 PM*I am with johnny
- Thu., 10/11/12 - 17:00 PMComparing this to Sandusky is way off and tasteless. He paid his price and is much older now. That dog will be fine. Saying he can't own a dog is like saying a sex offender can never marry.People change and he paid his debt to society. Now, aim with Johnny here..... "about those turnovers."
Article: Romney calls, but shes not home - 1 out of 174 total comment(s)
- Thu., 10/11/12 - 16:37 PMI love how many of you blame her parents. I put my own clothes on in high school and you did too. Any person in this city that even hints that they are republican is almost always villified. If this happened '08 you all would be singing a different tune. Go ahead and tow that party line and call us all "dumb or ignorant." Telling someone they are stupid for their opinion just shows how weak your argument is. Children use that in schoolyards all the time. But what do I know..... Look at how well our great city and Detroit have done since being controlled by democrats for 40 to 50 years. I am sure that nationally it would play out differently though.
Blog Post: Does Vick now own a dog? He's not saying - 2 out of 141 total comment(s)
- Wed., 10/10/12 - 16:42 PMRapists are still allowed near women.
- Wed., 10/10/12 - 16:40 PMCan a sex offender ever marry? Can someone who used a knife to kill by a knife set? he paid his debt and I seriously doubt that he wants to harm another dog. Get off of your high horses people.
Article: Student, teacher in T-shirt flap appear at school - 2 out of 107 total comment(s)
- Wed., 10/10/12 - 11:45 AMYou're right. Comparing a young girl to the kkk is barely an issue. Actions like this should only get attention when it happens to minorities. I'm sure if a white teacher told an African American student that their shirt was offensive in '08 and ridiculed her, you would blame the parents for overreacting.
- Wed., 10/10/12 - 11:26 AMSad reality of the current state of affairs. This is especially true in the Philadelphia area.
Blog Post: Video shows police supervisor hitting woman at Puerto Rican Day festivities - 1 out of 210 total comment(s)
- Mon., 10/01/12 - 12:26 PMDon't mess with the cops and you won't get hit. Simple rule to follow. Sorry my heart doesnt bleed for a 39 year old who should know better.
Article: Investigation: election day fraud virtually nonexistent - 1 out of 106 total comment(s)
- Sun., 08/12/12 - 10:10 AMRight..... Cause I don't know of anyone in a union that has told me about the time he was driven around in a van and given names to vote under. That kind of stuff never happens. He made that up I am sure. Anyone who doesn't believe voter fraud exists please get in line. I have some great investment opportunities for you. You need id to fly, cash a check, apply for welfare, buy alcohol, drive, participate in a Union vote, etc..... But yet when anyone says you should have this basic card that EVERYONE requires, you are deemed a racist. So absurd!!!!

- Sat., 01/21/12 - 07:40 AMMike, Do you have one fact to back up your opinion? Or is this because of the illegal immigration issue? Either way you couldn't be more wrong. You're just as ignorant as fthaclu.
Blog Post: Facts are stupid things - 1 out of 66 total comment(s)
- Tue., 01/03/12 - 08:38 AMI love the stats that have no reference as to where those ridiculous numbers are from. Clinton didn't start by raising taxes. Bush Sr did and it knocked him out of office. Clinton rode the .com wave hard. "gopers need to get the boot"? Really? Obama still gets a pass? Sheep........
Video: Mummer brawl 2012 - 1 out of 48 total comment(s)
- Tue., 01/03/12 - 08:07 AMEnd the parade or cut it back because of a fight that occured on 2nd street after the parade was over? A fight that we have no details about either. You say you never attend the parade and want them to make cutbacks. How about you see a parade and the good things that go on prior to judging an entire event.
Article: Stu Bykofsky: At closing time, trouble lurks - 1 out of 81 total comment(s)
- Fri., 10/14/11 - 17:46 PMReally? Republicans don't care what happens in the city? Please review Philadelphias crime stats all the way back to the last time a republican was in charge. This city has gone down hill ever since and lost continuously lost residents too. I agree with the rest of your post. Just not a generic cheap shot that the stats do not backup.
Blog Post: Drudge, Limbaugh and the sad return of "Racial America" - 2 out of 130 total comment(s)
- Wed., 09/16/09 - 02:18 AMOne more thing. I saw that picture of Kanye West and Taylor Swift. I not once thought. Oh wow look at that poor young white girl being treated bad by a black man. Stop taking every photo in every paper or news outlet and saying its racist. The picture was Kanye being a jerk to Taylor. I guess you just skipped the article and read about how Beyonce showed what class is all about? Or if you did read it, you just omitted that part because it would not help your point of view.
- Wed., 09/16/09 - 02:09 AMHow come it was ok to Bush bash but not Obama bash? I remember seeing many shirts for sale on South st. that showed G.W. with vampire teeth and blood. I also saw some with Bush and swaztikas on multiple ocassions. But now it is racist when there tend to be some at a rally against Obama. I think these attacks either way are dumb and only hurt ones argument. But why is it news now? Why is it un-American to question the president now? It was not that way a couple years ago. Why are you only reporting about all of this now? Why do you not care about the negative impact of big government that Obama is causing? If a bus load of white kids beat up a black kid I know darn well that everyone in the country would be calling for blood. Al Sharpton would be leading rallys! As he should! But since it’s some privileged white kid..... Well what sympathy does he deserve anyway? What hardship does he know about? Besides a random racial attack on a bus, I am sure this is just kids being kids. But I wonder what the front page of your paper would say had this been reversed. Now lean back and tell us all that we are naïve. This way you can feel better about calling me racist. Even though I am not.
