Here is your quote from post 10944, Leslie:
"For the record, during the run up to the AP Council election, I had
three separate conversations with people from Asbury Park - two with
straight white men and one with a gay white man - where they
ultimately said that poor black people in the Southwest quadrant of
Asbury Park should just move to Neptune so that we in Asbury don't
have to deal with their problems anymore."

three separate conversations with people from Asbury Park - two with

Since in your quote the modifier "poor" black people was used and
not "all" black people, I'm not wrong for suggesting the quote
portends classism, not racism. It's YOUR QUOTE Leslie, not mine.
Once again, I refuse to let this paraphrase of a quote, from 3
unnamed people, who might have been using classism and not racism,
as irrefutable evidence that Asbury Park is a racist community.
It is not.
