Philadelphia Mayor on black teens after flash mob

[~~whimsy~~]

Mayor Michael A. Nutter, telling marauding black youths “you have damaged your own race,” imposed a tougher curfew Monday in response to the latest “flash mob” — spontaneous groups of teens who attack people at random on the streets of the city’s tourist and fashionable shopping districts.

“Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer,” Mr. Nutter, the city’s third black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.”

“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you ‘cause you look like you’re crazy,” the mayor said. “You have damaged your own race.”

Mr. Nutter announced that he was beefing up police patrols in certain neighborhoods, enlisting volunteers to monitor the streets and moving up the weekend curfew for minors to 9 p.m.

Parents will face increased fines for each time their child is caught violating the curfew.

The head of Philadelphia’s chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, J. Whyatt Mondesire, said it “took courage” for Mr. Nutter to deliver the message.

“These are majority African-American youths and they need to be called on it,” Mr. Mondesire said.

Mary Catherine Roper, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said her group sees the curfew move as legal with its sole caveat being that it not evolve “into an excuse to hassle” any youths on the street.

About time someone calls them out on this in a political office.

Good for him, well done. Unfortunately, now he'll be called an Uncle Tom by some who disagree with him.

Al Sharpton heard this come out of another black man and he quickly had to go take a shit.


Just so he could feel empowered again by wiping something white on his shit stained ass.

I'm from that area. My views of Mayor Nutter went way up after I heard his rant but unfortunately this won't do anything. These black people will continue to riot until something serious is done. The police presence has gone up but they won't act. We need to start beating and shooting these rioters. Then you'll see the riots stop.

Best thing I've heard from a Mayor's(politician's)mouth in a long long time.

Good for him. Admittedly I'd never heard of this guy, but he sounds alright and that he's not going to put up with any shit.

Crims are crims. No matter who, or what ethnicity they are.

I will agree with some of this if you're going to an interview you will want to look nice.

But, off work you can do as you wish.
I don't agree with tattoos, but you can have them in a free society.
Profiling and discrimination if that is the reason you are not hiring someone.

Would you hire someone named Nutter?
