If you want to get called a sp!c or a n-word to your face you go to Indianapolis, Birmingham, and a handful of other cities, not Chicago. "Most racist city" my ass, just like it's the most polluted, right? All of this from a moron who's never set foot in Chicago. I would suggest you find a better hobby than how many lies about Chicago you can post in a forum on a daily basis.

How does anyone pick a "most" unless they've lived in every city in the US?

You must mean, "What is the most racially tolerant/liberal city THAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED in the US?"

This is a good point, most of us are guessing to some or a large degree. Maybe educated guesses, but guesses all the same.

Uh, yeah... there are like, 8 black people in San Jose. It's easy to appear "integrated" when there isn't enough of a particular ethnicity to have its own section of town. Sacramento at least has some black people, but it's a pretty small portion of the population.

Now, what did you see when you went to Los Angeles, or San Francisco/Oakland?

Chicago is not much more or less segregated than any other old industrial city with a majority-minority population or close to it.

True, Chicago is actually MUCH, MUCH more segregated than other such Rustbelt cities.

The Daleys have built their corrupt empire on racial strife and segregation.

Uhm, either what I said is "true" or "Chicago is much more segregated than other such rustbelt cities." Take your pick, Epsilon. And if you pick the latter, I'd like to see you substantiate your claim.

Daley the First built his power by packing poor blacks in projects in the Black Belt, and building walls around the white neighborhoods.

Daley the Second uses illegal TIF funding to kick poor blacks out of neighborhoods, and to replace them with 20-something yuppies from Iowa and Michigan.

Your assertions are not substantiation. Try again.

You know what, don't bother because I know you won't.
