Today We’re Mis-Remembering Over-The-Rhine
This morning at the Whistleblower Newswire, everybody was talking about the Liberal Agenda at The Fishwrap, especially after they all read this morning’s fantasy about that wonderful “Community in Over-The-Rhine” before a racist white cop shot and killed that poor misunderstood Timothy Thomas yoof and started all those riots.
Whistleblower Senior Colored Correspondent Courtis Gray went into an Ebonic rant: “What a fucking joke – OTR was a community? Kids was running and playing in the streets? Yoofs be playing basketball, da neighborhood was safe? WTF, who in the hell were they trying to fool with that kind of reporting? That was just Da FishWrap with another story about liberal lunacy!
“In reality, da kids was runnin’ from da dopers, who was shootin’ and killin’ each other along wit a baby here or there dat got in da way, because black lives don’t matter in da black community!
“Da ‘community of OTR’ was a rat-and-roach infested neighborhood that was disgustingly filthy, smelled worse than a foul sewer, and the leading industries were drug dealing and prostitution – violence and killing was an acceptable form of conflict resolution! Buildings were collapsing from years of neglect and the average value of most buildings was less than $5,000. I sho do miss dem days in OTR…it was home!”
Take a look now,” explained Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane. “The evil system of gentrification (plus a little investment $$$$) has brought us a vibrant and lively neighborhood where homes are selling for $1,000,000 and up, people shop, live, work, and play. The neighborhood actually contributes to an improved quality of life rather than detracting from the city as an eyesore and crime-infested area.”
“But if all dems po’ neglected souls wants to find home again,” Courtis said, “just run up da hill to da west side o’ da city in Price Hill, Western Hills, and Westwood! Up there, da yoofs is now slaughterin’ each other, homes are being torn down because of neglect, Section 8 housing has absolutely destroyed the entire neighborhoods and we has gots us an entirely new black community! Oh boy, we is home again!!!”
