Dear Hinge, or whatever you call yourself, with no name, just an
alias. You MUST be new, or you'd know who I am, just as many other
posters, do. I didn't say the meetings Ex-cluded anyone! I find
them much ado about nothing since, the Council and the Partners are
going to decide anyway. I am related to Mayor Sanders, by marriage,
and for the last time, I have known him practically ALL of his life!
Kevin has only one vote and whatever issues come before him, he has
to do what he has to, even if some don't agree. This isn't NYC or
even Deal, across the bridge. Everyone wants him and the council to
perform miracles, or see things their way. Everyone thinks that
they are RIGHT, including ME! All I want is to be able to afford to
continue to live here and be left alone! You DON't know me, so
don't assume!
Don't know when you joined this board, but respect the rights of
others to disagree, even if YOU think YOU're right! We ALL are
involved!

What race card? Seems you play it well!

I thought this was America. Seems like Mississippi, sometimes. I
should know. I came of age during the 60's, in New Orleans,
attended private, but segregated schools. Don't tell ME about the
race card. I LIVED it! Katrina, proved that!
Most were born and raised here. Why shouldn't they be employed in a
town where they live? Be careful, because you don't know who you
are dealing with. Not a threat, just a fact. You have no idea,
what Blacks have to live with, so don't assume, until you become,
BLACK, or treated like one. You make the same generalities
all "other" so-called Americans, make about people of color. You
ASSUME, too much!
You speak of Gays, as if THEY are some "other", also. They're the
most misunderstood group, of all! I hope to see an Asbury Park, that
is diverse and exciting, where everyone respects the other. There's
a lot of it here. I saw it during the Katrina Rally last
September. Some of the greatest Americans of all, live here! I
know. It's not perfect, but forever trying. Leave me alone!
