It is not. Seriously - you have a problem. You keep manipulating my words on a really important issue, Tommy - stop it.   When you do reiterate a quote, you go on to manipulate its meaning.  It's unfair and I don't appreciate it.   For the last time, I never said AP was a racist community.  What I DID say was that racism does exist here, as it does in the rest of the country.  My exact words: "I would argue strongly that it exists in Asbury Park, but certainly no more (and actually a little less) than it exists in other places in the US where I have visited and lived."   As I said before, lets drop it.  The only reason I am writing now is because you are manipulating what I said.  And I'm writing to set the record straight.         YAHOO!
