Early on, during my walks around northern Fairmount, I’m surprised by a couple of things. One is the international flavor. On a warm Sunday in October, I buttonhole a woman I’ll call Anna, a tall, slim, dark-haired beauty from Moscow getting out of her BMW on an alley just south of Girard College. Anna goes to a local law school, works downtown at a law firm, and proceeds to let me have it when we start talking about race in her neighborhood.
“I’ve been here for two years, I’m almost done,” she says. “Blacks use skin color as an excuse. Discrimination is an excuse, instead of moving forward. … It’s a shame—you pay taxes, they’re not doing anything except sitting on porches smoking pot … Why do you support them when they won’t work, just make babies and smoking pot? I walk to work in Center City, black guys make compliments, ‘Hey beautiful. Hey sweetie.’ White people look but don’t make comments. … ”

Its troubling watching this Video “Discussion: "Being White in Philly"Philadelphia Magazine Article” I am starting to think that a certain wing of the “liberal” movement needs to be rebranded just as the Tea Party were for conservatives. And come to think of it, after watching this video there are a lot of similarities between those making comments/questions and tea partyers. Who are Tea Partyers? They are people who clearly ignore facts. People who quote things that were never said or taken completely out of context and then use those same fabricated quotes as facts. They are people who ignore the actual problem at hand and focus on a more minimal and sensationalized part of an event/story. And that is exactly what I saw watching this video.
