Mikey4YouSweety,


Lol......yeah I agree good ideal. Statues are so over rated.

Msn Harmony,

All A's over here.......

MightyMoe,


Yes most white Germans never agreed with the Nazi's.

John111,


I agree with what you said to get rid of history all together. Here's a thought why don't we come together as human beings and create new history. Did you hear the latest conspiracy about beings are descendants of Extra Terrestrials/

Ms Harmony,


I wrote a political Prompt in my world studies course I called it " Paper Genocide". I have another one call " The Fall Of Black Wall Street"

YellowRose,


Well you right, I was in Germany when the wall was destroyed. That day we all rejoiced together East Germany where I'm from and West Germany. I wasn't born when Hitler reign Nazi Germany, but I can image other white & black Germans rejoiced after his fall during WW2.

Ms. Harmony,

Thank you I try to be different with my subjects. I am a advocate for Equality, LGBT communities, Chlidren avocation, The Voice for the homeless, & I support Women's Right Movement.

Mikey4YouSweety,


Hey welcome back, thank you see I'm into changing the face of problems. I think you right, it will be a process. we had a huge rally yesterday, the police blocked the perimeter around City Hall for the protestors to voice there concerns.

YellowRose,


Well think about this if Adolf Hitler had a statue in your city, would you would want that to be displayed? Some may say Hitler wasn't as bad as people would make him out to be, ask the white hate groups. Well on a smaller scale Rizzo was our Philly Mayoral dictator. Alright to all the people think I'm villianizing him I give you some so-called positives people said he done for everyone.

Key Points ( His Good )

* Stu Bykofsky says in an interview, " Their knowledge of Rizzo is secondhand, coming mostly from liberals talking drums & those who dispies him. Like the write who described the Rizzo statue outside Municiple Services Building as giving fascist salute, as if that remotely possible. Rizzo is not giving the Nazi salute he's actually waving.

*Dispassionate conversation about Frank Rizzo is impossible. Anything positive said about him is denounced as " racist" by those who either weren't alive when he was in power (Black activist Asa Khalif) or didn't live here when he was alive said by City Council Helen Gym.

* Here's the big kicker, it was said what his detractors don't say according to Stu, horrible , racist Rizzo is that as mayor he entrusted his life to his two African American security men. Tony Fulwood & Jimmy Turner. He had black supporters, especially among antidrug & anti antigang activist, such as Novella Williams. These things get overlooked because of his actual problems with segments of the black community , often because of members of his police force.

Ms. Harmony,

My dear friend, that's a mature way of looking at it. Yes its our city decision. Maybe this will open up dialogue to discuss other city's monuments that people don't feel its represents them and there communities. Gold star baby girl.

Welcome back my good voicer. Well im not happy about Frank Rizzo statue but people have to know if you get rid of the statue because of the idol represents it. Well we would have to get rid of our presidential monumens as well here. The presidents own slaves. Should thr Thomas Jefferson train stop be changed? Should the Ben Franklin museum and the bridge downtown should be eliminated? Should the independence hall on 6th & market streets be changed? Lets think about that for a minute.

America, I wasn't in this country during the time Frank Rizzo was mayor, but the horror stories I here like he would sick police dogs on black children, In a neighborhood beset by poverty & isolated by disinvestment, Rizzo police were not there to protect & serve. They were there to maintain systemic racism. They were there to convince us that we were worthless. The man been dead for decades but his influence and legacy is just as alive today then ever. Here's the kicker I don't want this statue to remain in our downtown district, I think that slaps the face of any community without the country. I man remembers as a crowd gathered around him, watching the beating play out amid the man's screams, the hood of the white car turned red with the black man's blood! Now I'm play god's advocate for a minute. while many against what he was about , well there was some say he did good things for blacks & brown folks. Check it out, As a cop, Rizzo raided gay clubs because he & most Philadelphian's then didn't understand gays. In 1975 Frank Rizzo pushed for legislation to protect gays, Philadelphia Gay News Publish Mark Segal reminds me.
A man say I knew Rizzo. I liked his bigger-than-life persona, even while being uncomfortable with some of what he did & said. He was quote machine & hardly ever used the phrase " Off The Record". many continue to defend his character and his legacy for my city back then.

Good Day my lovely people of M2, thanks a million to all my voicers who made my last forum a mega hit, you guys are my energy source to want to keep posting, luv ya'll. Okay, lets get right into it. Let me just say this, before I proceed this topic I want to bring forward is very truly dear to me because this is dark shade on my city because of this Man. So I want you all thing universally. pretend this is your city okay. America, its been a lot of controversy going on in my city about a statue placed in front of our downtown's Municipal Building. His name is Frank Rizzo. If you not from Philadelphia the name probably don't mean much to you but to us in Philly he wasn't right ya'll. I pulled up an article up today about why Philadelphian's want this man's statue to go.

Article by Solomon Jones.
Posted August 22nd 2017

Many hated Rizzo because of his Racist extreme treatment to Black & Brown People in Philadelphians in the late 60's & early 70's. Frank Rizzo was police commissioner then Philly's mayor. Frank Rizzo was both the symbol & the substance of a racist system upheld by the law enforcement. His Police force was used to maintain racial boundaries that kept blacks trapped in red-lined communities, locked into a segregated educational system & mired in the ongoing morass of second- class citizenship. The Frank Rizzo statue must be moved to private property or it must be moved now! Then the article goes on to mention his character & why Black & Brown Philadelphian's have ill will towards his legacy & his statue. Rizzo was the first Italian American mayor of a city brimming with Italians and he did it on the strength of his personality. His shocking words made communities livid with his statement joked that his policing philosophy was "il capo", Italian for "break there heads". He used the N-word & because of some scattered actions. With racism , the accusation is enough, no proof required. It has a lot more things he did as police commissioner then mayor. But I want to drop a few more points until I get to the conclusion of this topic. With brute force, & with a few key promotions of black & brown people who would help him, Rizzo maintained Philly's racial hierarchy. those who excuse Rizzo's racial animosity because he sprinkled crumbs to a few blacks have no sense of history. For the black children who were beaten while demanding to learn black history, & the Black Panthers who were stripped naked on the streets of North philly, & the man who was beaten while screaming for a badge number, I will fight. America, Rizzo's statue must be removed from publicity funded property, Its the lease we can do for all the people he abused. So this is the time you all to voice your view. Do you think Philadelphia should keep his statue up? Or should they remove it ? I can't wait to hear from you all!

All replies will be answered back!
Thank You Sincerely

MightyMoe,


You never heard of " Man Hunt" ? that game was so violent its banned in 4 countries. I love the game. It was about the main character " James Earl Cash" a bi racial prison inmate sentence for the death penalty. Instead of facing his demise by hanging him the warden in the game had decided to put him into a man hunt gauntlet on a sick tv show of survival. the stuff he had to do to live was crazy. His captures is from everything from KKK, the military, Mercenaries, to gang members. Again it was banned in 4 countries.

MIghtyMoe,


LOL......I get that.

MIghtyMoe,

True.....but every life is precious. Who as man make that decision to take somebody's life ? you know, we not the most high. Only him is judge & jury.

MightyMoe,


Same here buddy I like Slender Man Orgin 2. Yes its a creepy game but I know the difference between entertainment & reality. Now you want to talk about a game that I can see influence evil people to kill I can see a RockStar Games, remember " Manhunt"?

YellowRose,

My son loves the Slenderina, Slender Man, Jeff The Killer, & 5 Nights games. No harm with my kids.

YellowRose,


I agree with you maybe its some mental health in there. maybe that case will put a spot light on the mental health community and we as a nation could address those issues.

Ms Harmony,


awwww......I like the quote you said games ain't violent but violent people play video games. what you said moved me , very powerful.
