Racism against black Chicago residents constitutes a public health crisis within the city, Mayor Lori Lightfoot declared on Thursday.
Lightfoot said in a press conference that it is “way past time that as a city” made the declaration, which followed the publication of a Tuesday report by the Chicago Department of Public Health reporting the difference in life expectancy between black and non-black residents is 9.2 years.

Does it infect the white press?
Racism, no I don’t think so. The black community is the problem, a virtual nightmare with them killing each other.
Groot needs to stop and frisk city wide.

If a black person is lazy, then the politicians say to blame white racism. How’s about the fact that academic strength is called acting white, and black people are against acting white. Therefore black people are against striving to achieve success. Sounds like black racism. Black defeatism. Black laziness as a standard of coolness.

Racism: It’s what’s for dinner.
She has finally recognized her racism. And the society-raught-and-encouraged black racism.

I worked in Chicago decades and decades ago and never had the desire to return.
The city has 76 percent minorities Hispanics a little more then blacks but not much. Only 24 percent of the city is white. Really a problem? Doubtful.
Whites have been slaughtering blacks in the city by the dozens...oh wait....
Chicago’s problem isn’t racism, it’s gangs.
