Northwest Indiana Discussion

I was listening to WJOB this morning Friday March 30. Station co owner Alexis Vazquez Dedelow was on the air with Jim. The subject was racial profiling and or stereotyping. Jim stated when he used to cover basketball games in the city of Gary, he used to take his youngest child. Until one time a big fight broke out. Alexis admitted on air that after that she was worried about him taking their daughter to the games. Which made perfect sense to me and everyone else. A caller made the point, wasn't she not profiling and or stereotyping in her own personal way? Again, that is very normal. She would not admit for the life of her that she was. But i bet if a caller said the same thing. Being the good liberal that she is. She would have called the caller judgmental! It is ok for them to take caution in their lives. You do it. Then to them, you are a bigot etc... The bottom line. There is nothing wrong with taking caution. Even if the caution does not seem politically correct. Even for the liberals out there! It is ok.

That was some tap dancing that would've made Fred Astaire proud. She stammered, hemmed, and hawed just like Matt Reardon (the Republican voice of WDEM) does when he has to read Munster election results.

And looked pissed the rest of the show! Not proper for a so called open minded leftist to look or sound bad in the hood! They are supposed to be for the hood. They love the hood. They just don't want to live there. Time to go back to Munster.

Don't let the PC police get into your mind, into your subjectivity. Prohibitions against racial profiling and stereotyping are public policy positions necessarily adopted and enforced by the government. The positions of public institutions justifying government enforcement or imposition of legal consequences.

We all know in reality that nothing is politically incorrect. it's only politically incorrect if you're artless or coarsening about it.

2 hoods in hoodies gunned down a convenience store clerk in Chicago last night.

Even on her best days, Bertha always wears that look of prim disapproval of anything that doesn't toe the leftist line. She also sounds like she accidentally sat on the business end of the WDEM antenna tower. Everything is measured, stilted, and nasal.

It's tough to decide who is more phony: the former barmaid with her dime-a-dozen PUC poli-sci degree who tries to sound like she summers in the Hamptons or her Munster-bred mook of a husband who wants us to know that no matter how far he retreats into the suburbs, he just can't shake his street smarts (see Dave Kuziak in the dictionary).

A man who actually gets it! The whole WJOJ i.e. WDEM network is nothing more than a phony network. These people are so concerned with the inner workings of the inner city. Yet the majority of them have not spent five minutes in the hood. The macho man Jim Dedelow never lived in the inner City. Dave Kuz The Democrat Party Governing Board Member moved to the mean streets of Munster as a youth. Matt Reardon lived in that rough and tough City of Crown Point. Before moving to Munster. Stew all Munster. Ashley all Highland. You get the point! All TALKERS. I am not even going to talk about the co owner who would change her name that her Hispanic parents gave her at birth! Very proud. La Raza!

I love it how she is always complaining how tough it is for a Democrat to live in a red town (Republican for you Democrtas) in a red state( Republican for you Democrats). My answer is this. You and the Macho man can always move to East Chicago etc...

All the cholos, gangstas, playas, homeez, and fly girls in da' harbor and along Broadway with whom Dedelow and Kuziak (or "Jed" and "Kuz" if you are one of those cholos, gangstas, playas, homeez, and fly girls) chill must shed a knowing tear and get a warm feeling in their guts when our heroes relate to them by reminiscing about Berkeley college days and trading on the CBOT floor, or in the case of "Kuz" when he speaks of throwing down on a plate of "fray-HO-lessss" at some cheesy church parking lot festival.

These two are definitely down with the peeps in da' hood. My heart goes out to poor Bertha, who has to make due with the faux-Mexican cuisine in lily-white Munster. What with all the traffic caused by Mitch Daniels and his refusal to shell out for one more Cline Avenue bridge it can be really tough to get up to El Taco Real.

Its a one-stop freak show of region down-and-outers, all wrapped up in a one hour package. Of course, I can always turn it off. You are stuck right in the middle of that sorry existence. BIG difference.

Hah! I live in an urban area. The only difference is I live in a viable one and you live in a dump.

As for posting on obscure message boards, it appears you "contribute" at roughly 3 times the rate I do. And I know you waste your time on other forums as well.
