"I'm a Puerto Rican from The Bronx I can say the 'N' word"

Hahahaha! Yeah, go try that down south. Just because SOME black people tolerate PR morons like you saying these things in NY doesn't mean you'd get away with it everywhere. Please, try it sometime down there. I dare you.

Everyone who is against my viewpoint go live with them for a year. Fill out an application to live in the pink houses. let me know when you do because ill buy stock in Depends and become one of the 1%.

Who are you referring to when you say "them"? Everyone has their own viewpoint and freedom to say what they feel but generalized statements about any group of people which includes race, class, or any other factor is hurtful and ignorant in this day and age.

"them" is in reference to people this Neo-Nazi wishes to perform genocide on.

I'm glad that you feel under the circumstances of advising the neighborhood of the fact that there is a serial rapist at large we have to find out that there are bigots like you on the loose as well!

keep supporting the leeches of our society. we could be a whole lot better off without supporting able bodies who don't want to work because 15 generations ago one of their family members might have been a slave.

next time your riding in the bike lane on your huffy and you get sideswiped by a monday in a brand new bmw with alabama dealer plates, instead of flipping the bird say your welcome for the foodstamps, section 8 apt, and free medical. as he leaves you for dead because he has 94 unpaid tickets and 7 warrants.
