“I don’t even find what he said about Crown Heights offensive at all.”
DH, I don’t think it was a conscious, intentional insult, but what he said was ignorant and very insulting. But he received the feedback and I think everyone should have moved on. It takes a long time to pick up on everyone’s various sensitivities around here. I haven’t seen anything else from him that was overly offensive.
THL, I must admit I’ve had that thought myself. Ghetto only posts to make fun of other posters, so he/she must read it all day long. Of course, it could also be Mrs. B!
DH- no, that wasn’t it and it wasn’t tongue in cheek. No one claims Crown Heights is perfect. On the other hand those of us who know the neighborhood, know that we don’t need Manhattanites to “save us.” Maybe he learned the other lesson- know your subject before you write about it.
Now watch this: in the next five minutes or so, there will be about 20 posts that are some variation of:
800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, THL. Can we do a petition?

By your own admission, Dave, you pay for sex. You still do. Be a man and own up to your emotionally stunted life.
Biff: I hate the What.
We’re gonna make 800. 8 is a very propitious number. Ever notice how so many Chinese restaurants are called 88, or Lucky 8?
And the Olympics last year started on 8/08/08 at 8:08pm?
In Cantonese the word for Eight sounds like faat, which means, basically, Phat.
Well, it means prosperous.
And we’re almost there!
Cheeky, Biffers.
I’m not going to wear glitter. It gets all over everything and there will be bits of it on me the next day and people will think I’m a fag.
