Obama, or, history in black and white.
It's not exactly a down-trodden area of Chicago. There are housing projects of course, but it's not an area ridden in poverty. I had relatives that lived a little West of there (in Oak Lawn) many years ago.
Try, if you can stomach it, listening to Chicago AM1690 and listen to the continual hate typical whites discussion everyday.
