Ahhh.. What logic. If only we ran this city like a 19th century South Carolina rice plantation, all these racial problems would cease to exist. This idea is completely useless, absurd and offensive. I don't see how accepting that racism exists in our city, "does more harm that good". Besides, just because the word Minneapolis appears three times in Jacobsen's post does not make this a Mpls specific issue. Delete.
conor donnelly --> Waitepark, NE -- It�s all mixed together, routinely braided into our lives � murder, torture, superstition, satire, grueling human ordeal. Information shades into rumor and mass fantasy, which convert to topical entertainment. Our levels of perception begin to blend. It isn�t always easy to separate disease from its mythology or violence from its trivialization. Not that we�re necessarily eager to make distinctions.
