Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, November 26, 2009

A recreation area once claimed by gangs has been turned into a bustling community park with help from City Hall and the LAPD. But it took a former heavy-hitter in the local gang to close the deal. Four years ago, a police crackdown and a decline in violent crime created an opening. Workers planted grass and hung nets from the rusted basketball rims. The park, tentatively, began to rebuild. But to accomplish any sort of rebirth, city officials were forced to admit that they needed help of a different sort. They needed the gang.

Every once in a while, a story comes along that makes you smile just a bit. Wild sort of twist, but very cool. Can't wait to see how this develops over the next several years.

The main reason for the recovery of the park was gang leader Tyrone Bramblewood. He is quoted as saying "Yeah, we decide to clean up da hood some, for the black community! But if one pasty wite crackur sets foot in this park we cannot help wats we dooes to dem.".

Black ass racist needs to go to school to learn how to spell...

Yep Tick you can be an ass or you could read the story.

Guess what it's just people looking to make their lives and the lives of their kids better.

Thats just a terrible thing isn't it? You would much rather all the thugs just kill each other off right.

It's more important to be negative, especially concerning race. [I'm being facetious]

"We didn't have a man at home. I never had a single man walk through the door and say, 'I paid the light bill today.' None of us did," Blue said.

...and there, sadly, is the crux of the problem.

Yeah, I guess some people are swayed by the lying propoganda put out by big brother and its media conspirators. This crap goes nowhere with me. I have lived in cities all of my life and the quality of life seems to be going downhill in a lot of ways. But I cherish the diversity of all peoples.

Did I touch a nerve Tick? I've lived in cities, burbs, and the country. They all have their good and bad. A guy turning his life around and giving back to the community he screwed up is bad how? I just don't see what there is to be upset about. It's a good story, one we could use more of why try to tear it down, isn't there enough of that in the world today.

Yeah, it saddens me when people buy into crap. These little "feel good" stories are meaningless in comparison to long term trends. A lot of cities are basically so screwed up by URBAN AMERICANS that regular folks abandon them.

Kind of like one of our worthless politicians bragging about a 100 grand budget cut, when the national debt is UH UH, 12 trillion.

Keep drinking the cool aid!

People like Parie Dedeaux could be helping to bring about the kind of renaissance that the inner cities of this country need. For some people it's obviously better to label this as a "feel good story" because it doesn't fit with their vision of a perfect world.

The action of taking control of this park back from the hoodlums who domineered it won't solve the entire problem of gangs across the country...it wasn't meant to. It was meant to solve the problems surrounding this park and it's facilities.

So what? It's not even a dent in the armor of urban decay. However, it is a scratch on the surface and, over time, a multitude of scratches can make a hole and the armor is weakened.

Light a candle instead of cursing the darkness.

Don't think so, certain FOLKS have a very poor track record of creating/maintaining good societies. Whites create/maintain the greatest societies in the world. Blacks....well I will just leave it at that.

Personal account for our actions is what's needed here. It goes with-out saying?

Whites create/maintain the greatest societies in the world. Blacks....well I will just leave it at that.

no no carry on,I'd love to hear more of your theories

Blacks....well I will just leave it at that.

Have you heard the president is a nigBONG

Apologies to blazing saddles

Interesting day on the retort today,

We could combine this.I hate black folk(tickyul gooddog)and kick a jew day.hey lets call it thanksgiving.for christ's sake

They needed the gang.

I'll bet everyone is glad the gangs were there to help out.

no no carry on,I'd love to hear more of your theories

Not a theory. Look at the housing projects built for them. Look at Africa. The whole continent is in shambles. Cradle of civilization my ass.

*Not a theory. Look at the housing projects built for them. Look at Africa. The whole continent is in shambles. Cradle of civilization my ass.*

Yes look at the continent that was divided along arbitrary lines by the European colonists, who then set about creating further ethnic rivalries and set out to destroy traditional societal structures before dipping out and leaving the continent in shambles.

Or the housing projects, where the poorest and least educated of society were concentrated and then further segregated by a society that already discriminated against them, thereby worsening the poverty, crime, and ignorance.

You might not want to look at the Balkans, or most of eastern Europe for that matter. Or are they not "white" enough for you?
