I also suffer from the fifty-fifty syndrome, and the only way to cure this illness is by segregation. So let’s segregate all neighborhoods by race. Let’s put the white people on the east side, the Latino people on the south side, the Black people on the north side and put all other races way out west.

Even the ugliest things in this world serve a purpose. RAM’s pathetic attempt to incite unrest, fear, and racial division served a higher good. The race war didn’t happen. There are too many good souls in Riverwest. We know better. This ugly episode has brought many diverse members of our community closer together. Several of us are having the much-needed sensitive conversations, taking action, and committing ourselves to improving the quality of life in our neighborhood for ALL.
