Riverdale Park Politics

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Friday my lovely wife Sarah received an unwanted letter in the mail. It was addressed to the, um, "hibernating" group RAPTOR (Resident's Association for Progress in the Town of Riverdale...........Park), and was from a group called "GRRRR: Get Rid of Riff-Raff out of Riverdale!"

Their definition of Riff-Raff was broad, including at its most offensive all "ethnics." There was plenty more to be offended about in that letter.

I am disgusted and appalled that this sort of thing would be distributed in our town, and that a person or people who feel that way live here. I hope that whoever sent it (they gave NO contact information) will crawl back under their rock and learn to appreciate the diversity that brought many of us to this town.

If you get one, don't open it, but drop it off at the police dep't. This may be hate mail and prosecutable. This kind of thing is not good for our community.
