The VFW is private property and we’re here to protect it in case of any kind of vandalism.

“We’re here to support all veterans and first responders. The two groups started exchanging unpleasantries as they passed the VFW.Ī quote from someone at the VFW went like this… Best VFW Post 928 on Sutton Ave which can’t even been seen from MacDade Blvd (sort of across from the Wawa on 420 at MacDade).Īt the VFW were a vast majority of white middle-aged people with various American flags while the BLM marchers consisted of folks of varied races and ethnicities and ages ranging from infants to elderly in wheelchairs, with many in that crowd in their 20s. The Delaware County Daily Times reports that one of the review stands for the locals was the Herbert W. That type of neighbor gathered up their motorcycles, pickup trucks, confederate flags, and surely their guns, to harass a Black Lives Matter march going through Ridley Township yesterday. Yet, folks would rather put up with all that than to live beside neighbors who don’t want them there.

The price black folks pay for living in an all black community is underfunded education, poor housing stock, health and wellness issues, a lot of Dollar Stores, pollution, and receivership. Yet, Chester folks know when they cross the city line in every direction and land in mixed or all white communities, the rules and comfort level changes. People have a hard time understanding a point I often make that because we’re mostly all black here in Chester, many Chester folks don’t relate to race issues like people from other communities.
