riding public transportation

1. The MTA has always been a compass showing where the rich live and where the poor and minorities live....

2. Riding the train and bus in the past coming and going-you knew immediately when you left or arrived east harlem/washington heights by the people who got on and got off....now in the future that distiction is blurred not because the biblical maxim love your neighbor as yourself but by the power of the idol of mammon....

3. I lived in East harlem 38 years and I know firsthand when i say: Once when apts where vacant they read; apts for rent--now those same vacant apts read "luxery spacious apts' for rent.

4. The nycha projects are where they are because:

a. the powers that be did not want them in their neighborhoods.

b. the people there the minorities have no political,social or economic power to say no and be heard,understood and respected...

But thank God He is not like them:

James 2
The Sin of Partiality 1My brothers,[a](A) show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ,(B) the Lord of glory. 2For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, 3and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "You sit here in a good place,"(C) while you say to the poor man, "You stand over there," or, "Sit down at my feet,"
