A post on Clinton Hill Chill last week (originally posted on blog With a Brooklyn Accent) that started with a deconstruction of the marketing slogan of a condo development in the area erupted into a debate about everything from race and class and to the efficacy of community organizations and the role of churches. The comment thread ultimately turns into a head-to-head between Putnamdenizen and a commenter known as X; their arguments show how easy it is for people to speak past each other and epitomizes why the emotionally-charged issue is so hard to discuss in a constructive manner. Thought-provoking reading, for sure.
