If it was right after nazis marched in Charlottesville and if a bunch of police officers throughout the nation killed Jewish people without facing repercussions and if a prominent Jewish person tried posting something that was pro-Jewish but was actually anti-black people and the fallout involved people trying to pit those two groups against each other then that statement would read similarly and I would be making the same posts.

Crackers. :)

That's where I thought he was going. Count me in the "it's getting very easy to be offended by stuff" if Jenkins causes offense here.

Jenkins’ comments didn’t read very well, and like it or not, there is a significant strain of thought within African-American circles, even within its intellectual and intelligentsia circles - that follows a significantly anti-Semitic strain. It is not just limited to Mr. Farrakhan, and reading Jenkins’ comments, they do seem to hint at something darker.

Nevertheless, Jenkins has done more than enough to have earned the benefit of the doubt in this case.

He was also the son of a carpenter (supposedly) and a friend to some fisherpeople. The guy casted a wide net.

That link goes to a ridiculously long story about how terrible these people are. I have a long and storied history of being scum of the Earth.

Maybe if he asked instead of ordered!

And if you think of it that apple fell pretty far from the tree.

Overrated, real questions about his father and I’m hearing he wasn’t even born in the Holy Land.

I never really thought about this....

Man points out that cities are funding the suburbs by paying police and teachers who work in the city but live outside it. It's a good counter to the idea that people in cities are welfare scum.

No offense but I don't find it a compelling argument.

Was a rule in a lot of cities for a long time that police and fire needed to be living within city limits(I think wilmington,de might still be?). Then there became shortage of people(or they didn't want to hire the people they wanted to police).

Haven't heard about teachers before though. I know both my wife and I are conflicted about not living in philadelphia while she teaches in PSD. She does pay full city wage tax, though, for whatever that is worth.

In some cities it can work but I don't think there's any evidence it improves quality of services or community relations.

Its still a rule in Chicago, and was in Philly at one time pretty sure.

Thanks for posting. The below is a great summary of how I also feel about this.
No, Malcolm, this is what the problem “truly is." Intolerance. Stereotyping. Repeating others’ hate-filled rhetoric. It’s all wrapped together, and if you go ballistic on one, you should go ballistic on the other, especially when it’s within your own industry.

“Silence is compliance.” That’s a popular sentence today. But you can’t be selective with your noise. Not against hate. For all the bigoted garbage stirred up against Jews last week, it was disturbingly quiet out there. We should think twice about why that is.
