Chicago has a few areas of racist black people who really hate white

Traveling those areas will get you killed...especially if your car
breaks down.
Even Mayor Lori Lightfoot has a taxpayer-funded armed security service
protecting her.
The first time I was in Chicago was for the National plastics Exposition
in '72. The hotel clerk said 'Welcome to Chicago. Enjoy your stay. Don't
go south of Roosevelt'. A friend was at the University, a little enclave
in South Chicago so I did drive through deepest, darkest Chicago.
Unfortunately, she was in South America on a dig so it was a wasted
trip. I don't want to think what it's like 50 years later.
I was first in Chicago a few years before that time. The incident I
remember most was walking across the street in Old Town and hearing
someone yell out, "mother ****er". I turned around to see that it was a
little black girl. I had never heard anything like this in public before.
