Racism on The North Side? (Chicago, Washington: sales, living, law)

It's ok. Oddly I have been spending a lot of time up there lately.

My observation from hanging out more on the NW side combined with my familiarity with the near south side is that without Hispanic immigration a lot of Chicago would be near empty.

I could be wrong, but I doubt the white families who previously loved in those tiny houses, in mass numbers, would have stuck around no matter what.

But, who knows.

Shhhhhh......you're not supposed to say that.
It's OK when blacks kill other blacks, but when a white cop kills a black criminal....whoa mama, watch out!

You don't understand.

When Blacks kill Blacks the criminal is at least charged. That isn't the case when criminal cops kill Blacks.

You can't compare Black criminals with White cops or While civilians.

You can compare them with Black cops. When do Black people protest about killings from Black cops?

Also, these White cops/civilians (George Zimmerman) did it for self-defense, another variable.

You know about that incident in Nordstorm on Black Friday? Did Black people protest about Marcus Dee?

And look at the thing that happened in New York.

It's okay for Black people to protest over the New York incident and such. But they don't objectively protest.

There wasn't a protest a few months back when that Black cop Glen Evans shoved a gun down a Black person's throat, but there could have been a protest if a White cop did that.

OTOH, Glenn Evans was charged unlike the white police officers who kill black men.

Chicago Police Commander Glenn Evans charged - Chicago Tribune

It was unclear at what point Evans allegedly placed the barrel of his service weapon into the suspect’s mouth. DNA from the man was found on Evans’ gun, according to a State Police lab report.

The Independent Police Review Authority, which looks into allegations of excessive force and other misconduct by Chicago police officers, investigated the gun-in-mouth complaint and recommended that Evans be relieved of his police powers until the case was resolved, but McCarthy left him in his position. The agency also forwarded its findings to Cook County prosecutors for possible criminal charges.

Evans is among 662 officers with 11 or more complaints during a five-year period in the 2000s, newly released police records show. He had 14 complaints between 2001 and 2006 and faced no discipline for any of them, the records show.

It's like screaming at the tv! They will never understand or try to relate to the point you are trying to make. Look at half the post on here and you will realize this site can be equated to watching reality TV and everyone wants to be a star.

Save your breath!

Neither does White people or anyone else. That's the great thing about this country, people can protest what they want.

Once again the Black cop was charged. Read my posts.

This is about police officers not being charged.

?

I know you did. What I meant was it's not the same comparing Black criminals with White cops or White civilians.

Well, show or tell me an instance where a Black cop shot someone for self-defense but was "convicted."

If you really did mean charged, well Darren Wilson and George Zimmerman were eventually charged. But not initially. They were charged after a protest.

Yea, just sad about the people of the country.

The difference is, they were both charged for different reasons.

Black cops didn't get charged after Black people protested that they didn't get charged.

Well, I'm not really wasting my breath because frankly, I don't care. I'm one of those people that sits back and shakes their head at most of this stuff. I watched the Fergie stuff for the entertainment value and to see how much destruction these numbnuts were going to cause to their own community.

There was an article in the Trib this weekend where Steve Chapman discusses the argument that blacks are the cause of most of their own problems. Which I happen to agree with.

For example, I think the NY cop should be charged from strangling that guy, but have you seen that guys arrest record? Eventually leading a life of crime and breaking the law is going to catch up with you.
