They made a stupid choice of where to live, and how to get what they want, but it makes a great example of how much we are hated by our 'fellow citizens'.
[QUOTE] A group of neighbors, including Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner the Rev. Ruth "Mother" Goodwin, who has lived in the majority-African-American community around the school since 1961, were angry that the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation (DCPR) had sanctioned the game on the Burroughs field. The neighbors argued that the soccer game would be an affront to their community, because their own children have virtually no access to the sport.
"When was the last time you saw a black kid playing soccer?" asks Goodwin. "All of the players but one who showed up for that game were Caucasian. No one has ever come to John Burroughs to even offer to teach our children to play soccer....The people here are not going to stand for it. We resent a takeover of our community."
Goodwin and her neighbors organized a sit-in, telling league representatives that if they tried to play the game, the neighbors would take seats in the middle of the playing field. Eventually, two uniformed DCPR urban rangers and a D.C. police officer got involved. Just before game time, there were 10 advisory neighborhood commissioners, roughly 30 other neighbors, league representatives, and more than 40 kids and parents standing on and around the field.

Actually, GOOD!
Maybe now the feel-good soccer moms will finally "get" it.
I mean, take away their country right from under them, and they don't bat an eye, but get in the way of little Britney's soccer game and watch out...

I won't be surprised if the Whites are "guilted" into inviting the boolies into their league. Of course, Whitey will have to pay for everything that little Clerow needs to play the game ...
While the games go on, the fun loving colored residents will be looting the car of Sally Sockermom.

For half-a-million dollars they could have bought fields upcounty in Maryland or Virginia. Instead they pissed it away down the DC toilet.
For those of you in the DC area, pick up the City Paper and check the picture of Rev "Mother" Goodwin- she is one sullen gorilla.
(And also- isn't it strange that half the black people you see on the news are 'clergy'?)

Not really. It's instant legitimacy. You don't have to be smart to acquire it and it deflects all criticism that the "you-is-a-raciss" rejoinder doesn't stop.

Of course! It's only fair to make up for the historical underrepresentation of the common North American Ground Ape in the game of soccer.

While others are raping and sodomizing Sally's precious darling under the bleachers at halftime.
But, really, the only question that matters is: does the concession stand have awwwwwnge soda?

It better be Tip Top Cola.
In west Baltimore you get 2 24 oz bottles for a buck.
Where I work the blacks buy 2 bottles with their freakin breakfast.
A couple pancakes, an egg or two, home fries, bacon, toast and 48 freakin oz. of Tip Top.
The government buys them electric powered trycycles to use here at work when they reach critical mass. A co-worker just got upgraded to one with a -get this - 750 Lb capacity because he outgrew his old one.
