on erica rucker: the role of a safe negro
No one will understand what you have written about, unless they have walked in your shoes or witnesses this first hand. Thank you for sharing your experience … Gemma Fetalver
I recognize you as a racist, as someone with a giant chip on your shoulder, as someone who wears victimhood on her sleeve, and a presumptuous person who attempts to speak for all black Americans. Now, go into the kitchen and make me a rubber band sandwich. And make it snappy! Arnold Stimson
Arnold, I think someone of your ilk would live a better life by shutting the fuck up and listening. Erica and I have had our difference of opinion, but I back what she is saying here 100 percent. Black Americans are not treated the same as their white peers. It is a fact with so much proof that anyone in denial is doing so to keep the status quo.

on holly houston: Norton Commons and the importance of diversity
I guess we cant all be so cool as to be über liberal and live in The Highlands … No, contrary to how Ms. Houston wants to portray Norton Commons, we are not all rich, white snobs who dont want affordable housing. The majority of us are in favor of the project and are actually forming a committee to have our voices heard. My husband and I looked at The Highlands for almost two years and couldnt find a place that was feasible for our retirement years. So we chose Norton Commons … Pam Ilnick Gersh
on MARSHA LYNCH: Sick days needed in the food service industry
The sad reality is, the situation is even worse in corporate-run restaurants that guilt employees into coming in sick, even if they have a fever. I cant tell you the number of times Ive gotten sick over the years because of a management-led policy to harass people to come in when sick, which leads other sick employees and sick managers to get me and everyone else sick. It defies all logic and common sense … Austin Weber
