You cannot criticize their city.
There have been hundreds of "Chicago is bad" threads on here...usually at least twice a week. I may have posted in one, maybe two of those before this one. You can criticize all you want. All I did was give an opinion on a couple of the things that I've liked - I don't know why you are trying to turn it into "you cannot criticize their city"...that's bullshite. You can criticize me for my opinion all you want - if you haven't noticed I've gotten plenty of it in this thread.

You have absolutely no clue where I came from to even begin to assume this. Where I am today is a direct result of the past consequences earlier in my life, and I'm proud of it. And to be honest, you can frick off if you think I don't care. This broad brush you have is almost as big as Roger's.

So, y'all really don't care about the people on the Southside.

That's what most normal people thought.

But what the Left does is cultivate a culture of flat out hatred amongst blacks against everything associated with whites/conservatives/police (all conflated). This is why we’re suddenly seeing all these mindless protests and kneeling. Young millionaire athletes who’ve never ever experienced an ounce of racism are suddenly fighting against oppression. While leftists cheer them on.

So when an entire generation is brainwashed into believing the US is evil, cops are committing genocide, and conservatives want to reinstate slavery, this is the resulting society. Rampant violence, police killings, public demonstrations against phantom oppression. Outward racism against whites which, still usually mild (things like a mayor not speaking to white reporters, hiring based on race, CRT, minorities getting preference on school admissions and government contracts) can only intensify.
The social fabric is tearing apart when a swath of the population doesn't see the country as worth preserving.

And he should’ve sent the national guard into Chicago. You’d have been cool with that.

Its not. Too populated to have one government control the population.

And because they live in tight bubbles, they think they are cozy with the black folks. When it falls apart, these white bubble dwellers will be the first one to go down.

Looks like you grabbed one for major metro areas. Look at this one from 2021. Chicago is 28, Louisiana well represented at the 6th and 7th spots.

Out of all the angry, racist politicians in this country, she might be at the top of the list.

I hope you're not serious.

Who could accomplish exactly zero because of the democratic super majority in the state Congress. It didn't matter what it was, who it would help or not help...if he was for it, they were going to try to kill it. The guy considered not even running for reelection, and then ran a half hearted campaign and lost to the bowling ball.

Well you said being in Chicago is not that much of a risk… I mean I doubt they would mess with me a 61 year old dude unless I went into the wrong area. So tell me where NOT to go….

But he was elected by the people, and that's goes against "we elect the same people over and over" statement.
