All those Confederate statues in Chicago are causing black people to shoot each other.

The racist leadership of Chicago views dead black children as acceptable. Otherwise, they would do something to save these folks. Why are the sensitive souls of the Antifa movement not marching in the projects of Chicago if they truly want to make the world a better place?

We’ve been hearing all weekend about the “racial injustices” in Charlottesville and in the continuing saga of Colin Kaepernick, but another weekend of horrific black on black killings in Chiraq gets not a word from the national media and the so called black leaders in this country. It’s a lot easier to blame the white man for the problems of blacks in America than it is to clean up the mess in their own house. The left is desperate and they’re shamefully ginning up the racial divide even more in this country!

It’s OK when black lives don’t matter to other black people?

It was a slow weekend with 39 shootings.

A better website is Hey Jackass! which is run by Chicago Police.

The commentary on HeyJackass is priceless!

“All those Confederate statues in Chicago are causing black people to shoot each other.”

Then they head up to the Great White(SNOW) North for more shooting.

A bald black guy, wearing a black hoodie, escapes in a black car after killing three black guys.

I think I see a pattern?

The suspect is still at large. The sheriff’s office describes the suspect as an African American man in his 20’s who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jean cutoff shorts with a partially-shaved head.

Officials say the suspect may have left in a black car,

And not one “white supremacist” to be found. Not even one “white nationalist”. No “unite the right”. How can this be? Trump needs to tweet this to Rahm.
