He has already compared it to the infamous yelling of fire in a crowded theater. The left can pull out the race card all of the time when it suits thier collective goal. But you write a piece based upon interviews about real life race relations in a specific neighborhood in a city there is going to be hell to pay.

Philly, the same city where the New Black Panther party harassed the electorate at the polls four plus years ago with zero charges brought for civil rights violtions by Holder.

the article was basically about how white people have to walk on egg shells and can't openly talk about race...and then the black mayor of the city sends a 4 page letter the day after the article hits newsstands and wants an investigation into it
doesn't this kind of prove the authors point?
what would be the reaction if a black writer wrote about racism in a particular city and discussed controversial issue? if a white mayor ordered the story be retracted and an investigation the mayor would be the one accused of racism

uh, yeah
that's why it's funny
it's also funny how progressives like the democrat mayor of philly always push freedoms, especially speech and the press...unless it's speech/writing that they disagree with
this also ties into the whole "GOP perception problem" by minorities. how could the GOP EVER change the perceptions of people like this? these people are already set in their ignorant and authoritarian views. you either agree with them or you're the enemy

Apparently by either becoming an apologist or falling into every trap ever laid by the opposition.

I'm halfway through the article and I'm still trying to find the objectionable part.
Not the part I would find objetionable. The part that I can even anticipate will be objectionable.
Hell, the writer seems to even be guilty in his article of the thing he talk about at the outset. Namely, he is killing himself to be hyper sensitive with positive caveats to ANYTHING that might be slightly negative.

Whites aren't allowed to talk about race relations. With any race... I've known this my whole life.
