I'm usually not one to stir the racial pot here, but this article was pretty offensive to me as a European-American. Can you imagine if the headline was reversed and a white reporter wrote this?

Yes. Very offensive. But the argument on the other side is that it is impossible to be racist toward whites because of our "white privilege". Simply impossible.Comment -

I was discussing this article with some friends last night (white, jew, chinese, filipino, south african). One girl thought that this article presented a totally reasonable point of view. She (white) said that white people had no ground for finding this point of view offensive based on the historical treatment of blacks in the US. I was blown away. Talk about the poster child for white guilt.Comment -
Until black people stop rioting in fast food restaurants (see YouTube for more examples, roughly 10,000 more) it's tough for me to take them seriously when they tell others to change.Comment -
Might want to look up some of the articles about Obama's next plan. I'm not where I can post a link, but there are plans for social engineering where they will move public housing into white, affluent neighborhoods.Comment -
I'm not even the least bit offended that blacks want to keep their neighborhood black. I'm offended that the LA Times would run an article about it.Comment -
Not sure why people would have a problem with the LA Times reporting the news. Its like me getting mad at cnn for running articles about the kkk and confederate flag.
Thought it was a good piece on the history and changing demographics of the neighborhood. Actually learned a couple of things about LA.Comment
