You are incredibly off base. I joined this group when I moved here 6 years ago
to learn more about my community outside of what the media says about it. 1st
thing I noticed was the horrible way Library Square was being treated, and I
tried to do something about it, and I succeeded for awhile. Not for "whites" or
"blacks", but for everybody.
Nothing related to posting the shooting has to do with "whitespeak" and shame
on you for suggesting that.
The problem with AP is gangs, guns and drugs. And yes, there is a degree of
hopelessness that is a catalyst for those things, but people that get involved
in that are simply not trying hard enough to find alternatives.
As for your comment relating to hispanics and blacks, personally speaking I
take great offense to that. I blasted the Tri City News many times for not
acknowledging the contributions of our Hispanic and African America citizens to
the point of annoying the crap out of them.
Perhaps you don't know about that, but those are facts.
