Two days ago, I posted a piece on the similarity in views and style between Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia and Bill Cosby<\/a>.  Maybe the AP has reporters who read my blog, since they’ve now finally gotten around to reporting that Philly mayor chides black parents over teen mobs <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The painful images and graphic stories of repeated violent assaults and vandalism<\/span> by mobs of black teenagers had gotten to be too much for Mayor Michael Nutter<\/span>.<\/p>\n

As an elected official and a “proud black man” in the nation’s fifth-largest city, Nutter felt he had to go a step beyond ordering a law enforcement crackdown.<\/p>\n

So he channeled the spirit of another straight-talking Philadelphian: Bill Cosby<\/span>. Nutter took to the pulpit at his church last weekend and gave an impassioned, old-fashioned talking-to directed at the swarms of teens who have been using social networks to arrange violent sprees downtown, injuring victims and damaging property. Moreover, he called out parents for not doing a better job raising their children.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Exit question:  would a white mayor who said the things reported here and on my blog be called a racist?<\/p>\n
