These punks are destroying our Loop. The word punk really means uneducated negroes. We must remove them or face ruin.

There goes the neighborhood. I hope we can defeat the invasion of rap punks but if we fail UCity will be East ST. Louis.

The Post Dispatch apparently doesn’t understand the quality of interaction on their web site matters as much as the volume. When you let racist dumbasses take over and dominate your comment sections, the entire point of your comment section as an attraction to repeat viewers is lost.
