It's where alot of "those" people shop, you know, the black negros, the people who us here on this board would like to just go back to Africa (or at least stay in crown heights).

Rampant racism is not uncommon all over this board, just pointing it out. It’s a late, advanced stage of gentrification, I congratulate you all.

One person's civic duty is another person's instigation. Hey I don't want any trouble man, I see how you handle detractors, like a pack of wild dogs, or even worse, a group of black teenagers walking past you on the street looking to take your ipods (I mean what else could they be up to?)

It's been my experience that a lot of times, people cry racism when they feel like they have been a victim in the path. Just cause this board or this neighborhood is mostly white and decently priveleged doesn't make them racist. Just because people don't want to be harassed by beggars (black or white) doesn't make them classist.

I like your favorite saying...

Perspective: I don't like black people
Reality: I’ll live in Park Slope

Perspective: I don't like poor people
Reality: I’ll live in Park Slope

Perspective: I don't like black or poor people
Reality: OMG, why are there poor or black people in Park Slope? And why...shudder...shudder...are they bothering me with such trivial issues and the fact they are poor and have nothing to eat while my cleaning lady didn’t sweep under the couch again?

Chip on my shoulder, what of it?

Thank you at least for being honest about the fact you’re all white and affluent, be proud, it’s the only thing of value for human beings in America anymore, I’m sure you all worked very hard to get where you are today.

I can only pray to God that anyone who has complained on this board about beggars gets a knife held to their throat and robbed of their big, fat wallets (it happens everyday).

KARMA kids, think about it while sobbing at the precinct, looking at pictures of thousands of dark complected suspects, whiile the white cops from long island laugh at you behind your back.

Are you black and poor?

Isn't that funny? Anonymous trolls like this one inevitably start with "you white people", which is usually a dead giveaway that they know nothing about park slope and the people who live there.

that IP address thing again??? How does that work? - Sorry to interrupt your fascism but you'll be hearing not from me again, I think I've made my point.

Go watch Seinfeld of whatever white racists do on a Friday night to feel better about the mess they've created. Maybe one of my beautiful black brothers will stop being lazy and rob one of you tonight.

Cool, a fellow Technite. Glad to see Tech alumni is putting their specialized high school education to good use.

LOL, Brothers would never rob me, they usually waste their time trying to holler at me, assuming that I'm visiting from Sunset Park.

Come to think of it, I'm sure all the WHITE people in this nabe assume that I am yet another broke and penniless undocumented housekeeper on her way home. Everyone knows all Latinas in Prime Park Slope are... right? I mean, we certainly would never live here, have degrees, amazing careers, serve the community, pay taxes, clean up after our dogs and gasp....be literate enough to respond to posts on the internet! I mean, I walk into Back to the Land and they offer to help me!!! They MUST think I'm looking to steal the organic fruit! I'm such a victim! They are such racists! Even my dog is posting on the Craigslist pets section, hoping to be rehomed to a White household. I repeat...I am such a victim.

I really don't know why we waste our time...

Take your bucket of shit with you on your way out, please.

shit fairy?

maybe you should go back and ask for a refund on that Doctorate from Columbia.

I believe you're trying to spell "bred."

Smartmom's taking a vacation.
Anyone like to write so smugly-like in the third person?
I would like to see a cage match between Smartmom, Amy Sohn and the person at Gawker.

but it's not ironic or even spelled correctly (on new!AG's part) so it just doesn't qualify. at least by my rules.

And I can't edit the naughty word out. But I'd like to. I usually star the last 3 letters.

Every time we have a poll like that, it overwhelmingly favors eliminating guest posting. Someone (AW?) recently noted that the polls are biased by the fact that only registered users are permitted to vote.

Flexichick wrote: Maybe it's time to test that theory.

Or, don't allow guest postings for a period of time and then see if there's an improvement (meaning less spam, hate-mongering, etc.)

That experiement has been run on the PH board, and there has been improvement in those respects at least, although it has resulted in a significant decrease in "mixing it up" (with the noted recent exception of the GM food at the Coop thread).
