The short story is in link, but the Philly news clip shows the pain in the faces of the couple and worth watching instead. It's sad and I hope they win. People who abuse their governmental power sicken me. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/08/02/interracial-couple-claims-harassment-by-town-official/
those are one of the worst kind of people against IR, those who want to know why "the black guy" but wont come out and directly ask so they resort to cheap tactics, they cant deal with the emotional damage it would cause them hearing a ww they cant speak for and have no control over say why she likes bm
It's likely that the backyard junkyard truly is the issue - a junky yard affects property values and brings out the "there goes the neighborhood" attitude. Personally, I wouldn't be happy living next to someone, regardless of race, gender, age, whatever, who has the junkyard thing going on. I don't want to have to look at it every day. But judging by the councilman's language to and about the couple, it's clear that the problem is compounded by them being an interracial couple. If the backyard wasn't an issue, I wonder if anything would be said?
Didn't you see this part... "Former mayor Frank DeLucca says Strippoli even threatened employees jobs if they didn’t come down on the Pattersons. TBH, I didn't see a bunch of junk. What about the basketball net? Others had it. And a weed whacker or mower gets the cops out? IDK, do people with junky yards sue? The councilman neighbor's racist distaste is pretty obvious, I feel.
I expected to see rowhouses on top of one another, but those people have a nice bit of property with a decent amount of lawn space surrounding their house. I expected to see some Sanford and Son action going on, but it looks a like a normal backyard to me. Did the BM say he had code inspectors sent to his house for using his weed whacker?? This white guy has become obsessed with being a pain in the ass for this couple. Sad. A $1000 fine for having an discarded b-ball hoop in his yard?? You know when other White council members are coming forward and implying this harassment is racially motivated, things are really getting out of hand.
nice to see recognition given to whites that DO have a problem with racism we didnt get this far on our own i get a helluva kick out of seeing white people go off on racists that aside, that's awful that IR couples still go through extra bullshit it's a man and a woman, leave it at that
if its white racists we get accused of "white guilt" the other day i got called a "demon jew" by this joker on facebook
really dont understand the point of going off on people like that why do people have to target ur ethnicity or religious affiliation, when whatever they are going through really isnt even that serious to begin with? as for the white guilt..ive seen that a few times... like i wrote elsewhere, i get a kick out of looking at youtube/yahoo comments, and you always see some idiot talking about white guilt like there's no reason for it lmao cognizant whites know about the global mistreatment of people of color, and do what they can to help combat it/bring it to light. what's wrong with having compassion for your fellow man?
and what kills is its always those kinds of wm on groups for ww who like bm etc you can see their ass hurt comments its pathetic, i see it loads on youtube aswell, its paranoia, extinction, destruction of the family unit etc, Ive heard all these bs excuses, its usually from people who want to control what fears them, fact is they cant they go around in cricles and end up in the same place and it drives them insane
basically they really need to understand that WW are no longer controlled by their men. you can't help who you like and frankly, why should you try? and yes the comments are severely reeking of butthurt like this butthurt councilman and his idiot wife
That's weakness, fool!!! It's every man for himself. Survival of the fitness. All that good shit like that on those rough and uncivilized streets in the 21st century. That live and let live shit is for sensitive ass intellectual fools. You can't be repping like that. You gotta stay strapped up and bust caps and heads on any and all fools that ain't keepin' shit real. Ghetto and/or Redneck 4 Life!! YEAH!!! :smt071
Those individuals live in their own deluded world. Mentally trapped in a cage of emotional paranoia and ego trips. I don't care if someone is the biggest racist on this Earth, my approach is stay out of my business and I will stay out of yours. You don't have to like me or anything about me, as long as they do that que sera, sera. We are all on this journey of life and will one day depart this planet. I will be damned if some other person is going to take up my time with their hatred bullshit. My advice to them is to take that shit elsewhere. Move to the mountains of Idaho or Alaska, or the backwoods of a Southern swamp and live in isolation if you are that bothered and emotionally tortured about a black man with a white woman, or any other interracial couple. There are billions of people on this planet, some need to find better hobbies than obsessing about black men living their lives with whatever woman. How could she be with a black man, boo hoo, boo hoo. Talk about self entitlement and ego insecurities.
