Business is Business. That¹s how businesses make money. Tom Knox is not the first person nor the last person to bleed Inner-City People of Color.
Supermarkets, (most notably ACME Markets amongst others), Banks, Stores, Libraries, Restaurants, Schools, etc. That doesn¹t mean Knox is necessarily the worst person to be elected Mayor of Philadelphia. I am sure Bob Brady has done worse with regard to people of color. It was stated last week in the Philadelphia Inquirer that when Brady visited the Northeast, he was asked if he would get the N---s off Frankford Ave. I give him credit to let those comments be printed in his Mayoral Profile. Still, I do not like his ads A.K.A. ³Tony Soprano². At least ³it¹s not over til it¹s over.² and many times has THAT happened in Philadelphia?
