Ironically, as ...Yeah, Pam - I ran across this guy. Ironically, as I was looking for more information on joining the neighborhood council. There goes the "loft folks don't want to be involved" theory. <BR/><BR/>People like him (and the "Mission Yuppie Eradication Project") are draping their "authenticity" and "class consciousness" on an ugly skeleton of xenophobia. They don't want anyone in the neighborhood who doesn't look, talk, or party like them. <BR/><BR/>The fact that people moving in are middle class, and looking for places where they can afford to live and have a family is totally lost on these idiots. They think anyone who doesn't bank at a corner check cashing joint must therefore have a trust fund, a rich dad, and a dense network of wealthy people to give you jobs and expensive jeans. Oh, if only that were true. <BR/><BR/>The really sad thing is, I've lived and worked in East LA for almost 13 years now. I was looking forward to returning as an adult (instead of - you guessed it - a starving artist), with the cash and free time and experience I have to invest in the community. The message, of course is clear: keep moving, guera.<BR/><BR/>Pendejos.K Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694205607293601441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30883509.post-1155443607956351992006-08-12T21:33:00.000-07:002006-08-12T21:33:00.000-07:00If "El Chavo" has a blog and he's writing about th...If "El Chavo" has a blog and he's writing about the same things you are, then he's probably a yuppie himself (but refuses to admit it). Or, since my neighborhood (Crenshaw) is known for its "buppies" (black urban professionals), maybe El Chavo is a "muppie."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
