Family Guy-Quoting Racists!
 |
Hey, look, there are racist posters everywhere! I guess. The above shot is from Cottman and Frankford; it was posted at Domelights (the thread later turns into posters arguing that few black officers go to benefits for slain white officers). It's also, uhm, a freaking joke from Family Guy.
And, hey: A poster at Young Philly Politics found a different one (uh, I guess) after regaling us with a story of buying a new belt at the Gap outlet and realizing some people might not like Barack Obama because he's black.

Oooo look mommie... I almost got banned off of YPP (again).
That's what I get for not posting a "OMG that poster is SO RACIST" AOL-esque mee-too'ish comment there.
What can I say... I'm an Obama supporter that also has a bit of realism under the hood.

The fear of section 8 moving into the NE isn't necessarily any less rational than the fear of a yuppy brewpub opening at 50th & Baltimore.
Having said that, the KSS are mostly immature asshats.

As is noted in the domelight thread before it descended into hilariously stupid racist commentary - almost exactly as happened when this popped up in the Northeast section on PhillyBlog - the link on the poster leads to a skinhead recruiting website. So it's actually a real thing.
I'm not an expert but I'm fairly sure "skinheads" trumps "irony of Family Guy bit" and makes the whole deal a lot less funny.
