THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RACE AND A NATIONALITY.
Many people have a hard time distinguishing between the two.

notice how "one side" seems to constantly focus on HATE, RACISM - BUT unwilling to touch on the side topic brought out many times in this Thread re 'the mayor & Chicago' - her INACTION to address the out-of-control shootings and B on B killings there. shhhhhh.

Their tactic, as a magician...divert attention.

Blacks are 13% OF THE POPULATION....yet they commit 70% of the crimes and 72% of black children born DO NOT KNOW WHO THEIR FATHER IS!! Resolve those 2 problems and the majority of the entire population would be better off. If we look at BLM and all the problems they have caused and whose base is MARXISM, we may have to evaluate everything they complain about !!??

If Trump had said he would ONLY talk to white reporters, how would you and the rest of the world reacted? Get my point?

Hate is a powerful yet mindless emotion. Hate was very effectively used by the dems to install Biden who is clearly guilty of abuse of power to promote his crooked son. Liar, Trump was regulatory called a liar. Harris called Biden a racist. Pointed out his association with the KKK etc. Now he is her bros.

The issue is Journalistic Ethics. Allowing control of free speech if it does not agree with your bias

Agree...There’s no national outrage because there are bigger fish to fry in this country.

A large part of the problem is language. We put people into groups. Then we are able to say they are good and the other is bad.

Where we are today.

Will it end? Truth it seems to be getting worse.

You have got to be kidding!

[Gray lady of the sea]

You are ABSOLUTELY right

[kkeennyy]

You wont see any Outrage by the whites unfor

[rlcooper70]

Fascinating. I was unaware. Thank you.

Chicago is a black city and yet Chicago's news reporters are almost all white. Why? The Mayor brings the conversation to the forefront. Thank you for showing us that the conversation is alive.

As to your comment that perhaps white people should get used to the idea that blacks are going to bring racism to the conversation over and over ... I guess you are right.

Journalists no longer exist so who cares
Propaganda is still worthless propaganda
Shooting in Chicago ignored because no propaganda Value for swamp creatures
Chicago has been a Democrat totalitarian city for 120 years they were forced to give up democracy. we are now forced to give up freedom of speech

[BigHoss18]

Great narrative, and I agree with it wholeheartedly. However, it violates the policy for this forum. Right at the top of my screen in upper case letters, yelling at us, it states NO POLITICS.

Who’s not doing their job to police this forum.

[starbaby]

Stop inciting national outrage. So much hate going on here. What do you care about Chicago? Are you from there? You're here now. Kick back, take a yoga class and learn to let it go.

Anytime you exclude a person BECAUSE of the color of their skin, is racist. You can ride the bus but those of you that are black have to sit at the back. You can go to the movies but you have to sit in your section. Only those of you that are white can use these bubblers. Really, how can anyone justify racism under any circumstance?

“White people in North America live in a society that is deeply separate and unequal by race, and white people are the beneficiaries of that separation and inequality.” - White Fragility.
Your comment explicitly demonstrates how uncomfortable white people are when they are confronted with the fact that we live in a White supremacist society which explicitly benefits white people. When the roles are reversed, it results in the same outrage people of color have lived with for centuries. Instead of being outraged I would suggest that you step back and examine the cause of your outrage to better understand racism.
