Double teamed by Keady and Kretzu! Unfair!

This is a paraphrase I am assuming. It isn't clear if this is
classism referring to "poor" as opposed to racism - two very
different things.
So, these guys apparantly are the voice, heart and soul of AP? A
description of them is who we are? I don't think so.

Yes Asbury Park is an exception!!! Why must you assume bad things
about AP because you are so sure they are happening elsewhere?
That's as wrong as if I calculated: There are some bad people
elsewhere, Leslie is a person, therefore Leslie is a bad person.
See the unfairness of assuming a fact against someone because they
belong to a larger class? What's the word for that? Oh yea!
Prejudice!

The outside world created that. It supports my point that the
racists are elsewhere, not here.

You will understand when you fully transition into a full Asbury
Parker. If I made a negative, sweeping gerneralization about the
Kretzu family, as a member of the family, you would take it as
a "personal slap." Not hard to understand. If you make a negative
sweeping generalization about Asbury Park, yes, those of us that
have a familial association with the City take it as a personal slap
in the face. Can't help it -it just happens. Not hard to understand.
It is my hope that someday, as a community leader in AP, you too
will have such a persoanl closeness with this City that you also
take it as a personal criticism when you hear a criticism of AP in
general.
