I don't understand the point of this thread or the poster. Is the poster a lie? Did these people shoot the officers?

Would you say a large portion of skinheads have racist ideology behind them? Yes
Not all Skinheads are racist.....You just fell into the punji pit of generalization....just like I say all blacks are evil criminals (I know they arent)....you say all skinheads are racists. Put down that copy of American History X or Romper Stomper and do some real research.

How about I take your first sentence and replace two words?

Blacks are known as criminals.

My centerpiece for existence is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness....and in that respect if I choose to be racist to achieve those goals....then so be it! Oh wait....I am racist so that point is moot. doh!

As been stated, this already has its own thread with a ton of replies..a long dialogue...plus, if you had a hint that the poster was hanging at Frankford + Cottman, one would expect you to check the NE forum first...Not to metion, I think everyone from conservative to liberal/black and white would acknowledge there's still racism in some form in Philadelphia, so you are wasting space and watering down this message board..

First off, I JUST received this TODAY!!
Second... I had NO CLUE it was on another forum. I don't go around checking every forum, etc.... and I'm NOT from the Northeast. How would I know when it was posted? I just wanted to make sure EVERYONE had a chance to see it, NOT just Northeast residents But since it was already posted there, so be it...

And THIRD.. it's NOT a waste of time. If you don't like it, it's simple: don't reply.

Did you get an email or a Private Message? How would they know to target you with this picture?

Please use search before posting. You can almost always bet that if something like this happened in Philly, it was already posted (by someone else) on Phillyblog.

Also, most members use the 'New Posts' feature seen at the top which shows them the latest posts from every forum. Its the easiest way to see whats going on and you can simply ignore the posts from neighborhoods that you are not interested in.

Default What happened to the poster?

I went to Frankford & Cottman today to see the poster and it wasn't there, is there any others still up?
