Your screen name is, in this case, ironic. Nutter's words are both excellent, and utterly meaningless. Search "nutter"
in this piece, and chew it over.

If this is all true, and I can’t see where it’s not, then we need a thousand more like him!
It’s about time that someone tells it like it is to these kids.

Mayor McNutter is a voice in the wilderness.
But I think a lot of folks are hearing the call.

hasn’t the same Mayor also opposed every proposal to do something about this crap?

But-but- but aren't these Holder's people? Aren't they schooled by the Rev.s Jackson and Sharpton that whitey owes them a living? Aren't these the generation that idolizes the gansta’ life? They all are NFL and NBA prospects, right? All they have seen their entire life is drug dealers in Escalades and Mercedes. They don't have to work. They don't have to do nothing but guard the hood and be all up in their crib with their ho’s.
Dayum!! Is the mayor a DemocRat? Sounds like somebody who finally has had enough of the victim mentality. Go get, em, your Honor.
Goes back to my theory that we screwed up by doing away with public whipping for many crimes. You might not deter the next man but I bet you wouldn't get many repeat offenders.

“And yet, hell deliver the vote for Obama.”
Exactly right. If any of these people were serious about crime and changing the culture they would convert to conservatism. If Nutter really wants to end the soft on crime attitudes out there he would be opposed to the 0bama-Holder administration.

I like what he says, but hasn’t he been mayor now for 2 or 3 years? What has he done to at least start to fix the problem?
(This is more than a rhetorical question, I’m not at all familiar with Philly’s politics and thus don’t know the answer.)

What’s he whining about? He’s the Mayor of one of Obama’s new “Third World Cities” program cities. Philadelphia got from Obama exactly what it paid Obama for in votes... third world status. Coming to a third world city near you ... real soon I bet!

Kudos to Mayor Nutter. Unfortunately, there are too few prominent Blacks weighing in on this matter. Black youth is accelerating in a downward path culturally, socially, and intellectually. Juan Williams has made the argument that rappers and hip hoppers are a hundred times worse than Amos ‘n Andy, and more degrading than whites in black face or minstrel shows. JFK had Pablo Casals play in the White House, Obama had the scumbag Jay-Z! Go figure.

I like this guy. Finally someone other than Bill Cosby standing up and speaking the truth. Better late than never.

We heard the same thing from Bill Cosby. Fat lot of good it did. Blacks have been victimizing their own kind for decades. After all, that's who's around to go after. Now that black hooligan mobs are going after whitey, all of a sudden it's a big problem. He says they damaged their own race, but that train left the station decades ago. What sort of reverse discrimination is this? Is it because unflattering stereotypes will be confirmed? Is it because of bad publicity? Is it because the Philly economy may suffer? Will the white money leave?
I never take a liberal's words at face value.
