Site users can no longer warn people about “two suspicious African American men in a car,” for example.


Could try:

"Two over 6 ft males, much gold on teeth, sitting in Cadillac with 24 inch rims, listening to rap music, obviously unemployed as it is the middle of the day, using the word "ho" a lot"

that ok?

It’s going to be a lot less useful as a resource.

I guess that they watched the “All in the Family” episode involving the Jeffersons moving into the neighbourhood and Archie was, of course, opposed since they were black, lol.

Nextdoor is negating it’s usefulness.. No description of a perp that helps identify him will be permitted. Every description is “unfair” discrimination because it establishes differences between the suspect and other people. That IS discrimination and as such is patently “unfair.”

I hear non-swimmer is the current euphemism.

My experience has been that while Nextdoor might be good for something, it's just too rich an opportunity for the neighborhood gossips and busybodies to ply their craft.

I choose to do without it.

oh, boo-effin-hoo. This PC crap has gotten totally out of hand. Of course, we are talking about the home of San Fran Nan. USED to be a place I’d fly cross-country to visit; now, I wouldn’t cross the street to get there.

Telling the truth is unfair.

So I’ve seen posts on my local nextdoor page talking about suspicious middle-aged man with blond/grey hair and another about a suspicious black man knocking on doors. Are both prohibited or just the second one?

They can just report, “a male whose pants are too big for him wearing a shirt with a hood” was seen walking up and down our street.

I live in Oakland. When suspicious people are reported in the neighborhood it is already assumed that the are “non-swimmers.”

When I see a black man walking down the street in my neighborhood I wave and say hello. If I see two black youths driving through the neighborhood in a car with dealer plates I get suspicious.

It makes me snicker that someone would want themselves to be purposely misidentified. Nobody knows if you're an American based on the color of your skin. If a person sincerely believed that they were as good as I believe I am, they would demand to be held to the same standard as me.
