The horror!!!

Here is the awful, apocalyptic future of the Cole Neighborhood as envisioned by several "neighborhood organizers" and "activists" that lament the inevitable, cyclical change of Urban Denver.

No, they're not talking about global warming. Nope, not pollution. Nope, not crime. Tornadoes? Wrong again. Locusts? Way off!

Nope, Cole neighborhood's immaculate reputation and rich cultural history will be utterly destroyed by... White people drinking coffee!!! Oh, the horrors!!!

Run for your life!!!

I just can't help mentally replacing "white" with "black" (etc.) any time I hear these folks talk. It helps me put in perspective how racist what's being said is, while lots of other folks are listening and nodding. Amazing.

Amen. There is a group in Cole that says they're something like "A Group of color with a few white allies". Try getting your mind around the outcry if I started a "Group of whites with a few allies of color."
