...and the far-left zealot Nate Silver is involved in the “study”. He’s nothing a shill for hussein and the criminals now in the White Mosque.

....you mean the one that’s been in charge for the past 80 something years. That would be the extremely racist Democrats.

And that’s why white Chicagoans don’t really care about the murder rate. A lot of the white neighborhoods are as safe any suburban town.

In the South you have no choice. A lot of black folks down here and if you can’t get along with them you better move North.

Democrat city in a Democrat state.

The last Republican Mayor elected in Chicago was William Hale Thompson in 1927.

It is all too obvious the most segregated cities in America are and have been under democrat control for many years, every damned one of them.
