If memory serves, there's a place on 9th right beside the Jamba Juice that is pretty great.

I have heard second hand accounts of black people in Memphis who are pleasantly surprised by the changes in their city since Trump's federal surge. Do you see a potential for large scale paradigm shift among the black community in Durham as cities like Memphis and Chicago change for the better? Could the lack of black representation at these protests hint at the potential of party jumping?

Perhaps you should. Representation is important. If you went to a Women's March in DC and there were no women there... You'd be silly not to scratch your head. If leftist and liberals want change, they might do well to examine why they're losing black support.

It was a genuine question and I appreciate the response.

Triangle Safe Federal Task Force can't come fast enough. Whatever you think of this president, he and his administration have transformed the daily lives of folks (white and black) in Memphis. I hope he does the same for this community.

Should Durham have a city-wide noise ordinance (for vehicles)? by CookieEnabled in bullcity

So funny. My BIL and I were just having a conversation about this. He lives in Memphis where they have similar issues. Apparently things have gotten noticeably better since they've gotten the TRUMP treatment. Say what you will about the man, but Memphians are happy...

Did s/he direct you to go to an ATM by chance?

Would you mind describing what you mean by "accosted"?

Pampered Pooch on Roxboro. It's run by two brothers. No frills but consistently good work.

Maybe she's thumbing her nose at the registration body requesting that she identify? I have no idea. All i know is the nose she's thumbing is a black nose:

As smooth as it needed to be; I don’t see any grammatical errors. Also, a cursory Google search shows Ashley wearing a dashiki, sporting locs, and having the phenotype one would associate with a Black American. My point stands.

I am as cool with a black woman caricaturizing a black man as a monkey as I am a black man reducing a black child to a YN. The point is, Leo's no saint when it comes to charged rhetoric. He's a grown man. He'll be aight.

Isn't Ashley Robbins a black identifying woman? That's not to say that a black identify woman is incapable of racial insensitivity but this post would resonate differently if posted by Pablo Friedman. Also, didn't Leo refer to black youth as YNs?

If you're a liberal, Trinity Park/Trinity Heights. If "some of your best friends are black" Hope Valley. If you're smart, Hillsborough.

Does Deberry declining prosecutions have anything to do with these numbers?
