Hey: here is a new idea – judge people on their personality not their ethnic group. I bet if people did that there would be a lot less trouble in the world. Prejudice by anyone is wrong no matter what group. Sorry, if I upset anyone with that radical idea.

Maybe you should leave your doors unlocked so that anyone that wants a place to sleep, eat, bath or go to the bathroom will have a cozy spot.

No, paying money so my kids don’t have to watch homeless people crap in the bushes in middle of the public parks is worth every penny. Not having to have people beg for money every 5 minutes is nice.

Stop the BS

You moved to sunnyside because of the diversity yet you take your kids to private parks where everyone is white and you send them to private schools with the white kids. Never in the years I’ve lived here have we ever seen any homeless person shitting in the bushes at any park.

Doughboy Park last year had a crew of homeless using it as a toilet. Garbage everywhere. One homeless couple basically turned a bench into an apartment. And why do you presume I’m white? And my kids go to public schools. Spell assume and stop after the first 3 letters.

Sunnyside is for winners! Rikki is a loser. If you want I will show you around my Sunnyside and you won’t want to go to the Hamptons. I’ll show you all my favorite hotspots.
