Experts: 100% Of Philly.com Readers Racist

Let’s play a game today, shall we? Philly.com’s lead story right now is about after-school policing on SEPTA. (30 new cops!) I haven’t written much about the subway attacks despite being a regular subway rider (from Center City!) because it’s a SEPTA story I can’t really blame SEPTA 100 percent for. And that’s no fun.

We all care about El safety now because a white person died, so SEPTA is adding 30 cops to police the subway between 2 and 5 p.m. (How many will be at York-Dauphin station, I wonder.) Philly.com currently has it as its lead story and (oh no) they are allowing people to write comments. After yesterday’s Sierra Leone boy/Chris Wheeler fiasco, one can only assume roughly 200 percent of the comments posted to this story will contain code words old white people say because they can’t say “nigger” in polite society anymore. Aww, too bad, white people!

Anyway, let’s track this comment thread throughout the day. it’s already at a critical mass where I believe comments will start to be deleted, and then people will cry censorship and wah wah wah. It’s like the Courier-Post comments section all over again!
