There you have it. It is a pleasure to stand up and expose anti-White bigots each and every time.
Don't these clowns every say anything original. Seems like every single comment they parrot is lifted from a Limbaugh/Beck/Hannity/Savage, aka hate radio show. Come up with your own ideas instead of getting them from ex drug addict partisan corporate shills.

Hey, I read the article, did you? Sorry, that putting everything in quote boxes wasn't easy enough for you to follow. Newsweek is partisan corporate shill, and it's going bankrupt, ha ha. Good riddance.

Is Chicago segregated, say by income, real estate location and conveniences, or is it self-segregated by say neighborhoods and conveniences? I think it is hard to pin down one cause or one answer. . .

I'm proud to be Irish. White - decidedly NOT. That's an identity the man forced on my people a few centuries ago to drag us down the tubes with them in terms of guilt/responsibility for plundering the planet.

Q: Why did the sun never set on the British Empire?

A: Because God didn't trust them in the dark.

The basic thing everyone is scooting around is each different race has some grudge against the other, it will continue this way for a long time. Until people of other races stop being scared of unity, there will always be segregation. I admit I self segregate because I don't feel welcome in all white, or all hispanic areas.

But you're not Irish, you live in Chicago, USA and you're a Chicago native and that makes you White American whether you like it or not. Your enemies, and people who hate you based on your skin color don't give a darn about whether you are irish or german or polish, and they most certainly don't think enough about this subject to discern that those three countries were never colonial powers that enslaved blacks and browns.

Wake up, you are white. I think that 45 years of culturally marxist brainwashing has worked on you. That Newsweek article that you posted uses the term White tens of times in it, yet you dislike the term?

Most White kids these days in Chicagoland are mixed European anyway, not specifically Irish, Polish, Italian or German, etc. Why should they say they are Irish when they are more than that? They are White. White. Say it a few times it won't hurt you.

It's super that you try to make things sound nice, but in reality they aren't. The reasons people segregate is mostly class and race.

If it wasn't, why would whites move way out to places like rural Grundy and DeKalb counties where there are no conveniences? What neighborhoods?

Because being white is being LESS than that. that's why you call bland things "white bread"

and I am a mutt and I am American - but unfortunately, being "White" in America means being lumped in with racist jamokes like you, who confuse one's ethnic background with some sort of genetically pre-ordained superiority (usually because said person has no real skills or talents)- and that I refuse to submit to.

Because they are sick of crime and getting taxed through all orifices of their bodies?

You are over simplifying things a bit too much.

Nope. I'm a realist. They only worry about those things after they think about the race and class of those around them.

Why did my building in Beverly become almost entirely black after I moved there? It wasn't taxes....
