60 years ago in Chicago a group of young black teens beat my white father badly, causing serious head injuries. He was trying to do laundry a few hours after I was born.

Thr cops presented him with an old black wino to identify.

The lesson he imparted was cops are racist. The lesson I took was young blacks are dangerous.

Nothing new.

My friend was arrested by a couple of racist black Chicago cops. They stole his money and intentionally smashed his Rolex. The following morning he was released. He told the desk sergeant that he would like to register a complaint about the cops robbing and assaulting him. The sergeant said that there was no record of my friend being arrested and ordered him to leave.
