First, thank you Gannon for the commentary on the article. I was about to respond but realized you did so more eloquently than I ever could.

Second, strangely enough, I was gone for the last five years and just moved back to Cass Park in January [[Oakland, Ca, Montreal, QC, and a short internship in Pittsburgh, PA). I am amazed with all the changes I see around me, and not just in the Midtown and Downtown area. It seems everyday, I meet someone new organizing in the Hope District, Brightmoor, by City Airport, or even small block clubs from all different backgrounds and ages. I am so happy to be back home.

I found this article insulting and as an attempt to continue to divide people.
