Chicago's Weekend Shooting Tally: 10 Dead, 44 Injured
COMMENT
Back when the Afrikaners were looking into how they could formalize Apartheid, they studied Chicago as a model representative of institutionalized racism.

Look at a public transit map of Chicago and the issue is right there in (pardon the pun) black & white. The trains and buses run primarily in the white areas, while huge swaths of the city that have sparse or non-existant transit options are black.

You see, racist public policy need not be violently oppressive (although it often is), it need only be profoundly neglectful. And that my friends, is Chicago's attitude towards it's black residents, 100%
