Rahm is trying to rebuild his stock with black Chicagoans since his administration got caught covering up the murder of Laquan MacDonald by the police department.
It's pathetic that a guys whose administration suffered ZERO fallout when the cover-up got exposed is pointing the finger at a cartoon.
BLM can't get any traction in the city due to politics, just lip service.
Rahm is the mayor of Chicago, not the Governor of IL - many of whom end up in prison. But I digress...
If you don't show the struggles of black people you're in trouble. If you show the struggles of black people you're in trouble.
You can't win.
Guess who is hiring fewer and fewer black people because they don't want to be targeted for something innocent? White AND black hiring managers.
Black people think it's hard getting a job now, just give it another couple of years.
Neither Rahm, nor the Illinois Policy Institute know or care about the struggles of Black people
The cartoon wasn't sympathetic to the struggles of poor Black, it portrayed them as moochers, and Rahm doesn't really care, just grandstanding to get votes from the Black community.

^ This is correct.
Not only zero fallout after the coverup was exposed but Lynch and the DOJ did a big investigation last year, found corruption in the CPD - and did NOTHING about it.

Moochers? You could have put any kid of any color in that cartoon and I wouldn't have come up with moocher to describe him.
Between the expenses of college and the government gouging young people with student loan rates, to subsidize Obamacare, it's a problem most young people face.
