Replace it with a playground themed bail bonds & check cashing place.

Best Part, it has been there for 6 years:

This is fucked up shame on Bloomberg and he also is in charge of those kids education. They are FUCKED.

This is a joke, right?

If it isn't, all you righteous right-wingers ARE WAY OFF BASE!

I guess it's OK if they get high, as long as it's on alcohol, the proven lubricant for wife-beaters around the globe.

Hey newport27, I suppose it's OK that Teabaggers swallow everything that Faux News feeds them, hook line and sinker? Do me a favor and turn off your PC and turn on the telly.

Yep, those aren't tears of joy in their little eyes, they're tattoos.

Do you also not respect white communities that take what American society feeds them (i.e., white privilege)?

How about white communities where every kid has a gold chain, his hat on sideways, his pants halfway down his ass and is blasting the latest Snoop Dogg on his car stereo?

All while he rides around in the car his parents pay the note and insurance for. He gets high all day. Slacks his way through high school, but still manages to get into Princeton because his dad is an alumni and donor.

what I really cannot respect about the african american and latino communities is that they just give in and take whatever american society feeds them.. all that identity-shaping, mass-media controlled brainwashing, gangster culture, shallow mindless hiphop culture.. consistently perpetuated by self-interested mass-media and entertainment industries with an agenda.. they just eat it all up

are you suggesting that enraged minority parents take the bait, go out, & destroy the playground so that the cops throw them in real jail & the kids are still exposed to it anyway? there are some matters that are unfortunately outside of personal choice.

"all that identity-shaping, mass-media controlled brainwashing, gangster culture, shallow mindless hiphop culture..."

wait, are you talking about blacks and latinos or the honkies who watch and star in Jersey Shore?

Don't forget smoking all that crack that the CIA sells them.

They are certainly blameless for any of the negative aspects of the culture that The Man has created for them.

ever since i was a little kid there was always people who would tell you about the man and how they program children into submission, always showing you things on the dollar bill and saying things like the all seeing eye had meaning. theres always those types in all my life in nyc ive run into them, and sometimes what they say makes sense, sometimes they are just plain crazy,

but if one of those cats came up to me and said the man wants to train young black kids to be ready for life in prison and point over to the project playground, i wouldnt think he was crazy...

People in my neighborhood are pissed that the new local playground has a Smithsonian theme. They would prefer Library of Congress.

West Village kids got a Harvard playground.

Smh.

That's in really bad taste--but I chalk it up to thoughtlessness, rather than malice.

Thug Life?

well, there are office cleaning lady toys and costumes for kids... I guess some people have different aspirations (or are more realists than others)...

hahaha - pretty messed up

at least this makes more sense than that movie "9" with the unimaginative steam punk ragdolls. I can't believe that shit!
