Buddy Ken writes: The whole system is nothing but an eye sore that has polluted my town, and ruined generational family businesses. Enjoy your new ghetto. I'm sure all the issues a
ghetto is known to present will justify plenty of upcoming
Democrat tax dollars for all sorts of social programs, and
perpetuate plenty of sit down jobs at community centers for self entitled minorities in the near future.
(All emphasis in the above and throughout this posting is mine).

I guess one has to get into lynching threats and burning crosses in order to go over the line on Facebook. Or maybe that still wouldn't be enough
