There was chaos at City Hall on Tuesday as protesters took over a meeting about Chicago's status as a sanctuary city. ... "Do you as a resident of the City of Chicago believe that we should remain a sanctuary city?" ... The crowd responded with boos and catcalls. The mostly African-American crowd jammed the City Council gallery, with hundreds more downstairs on the first floor held back by officers with bicycles. They're angry the city is spending tens of millions of dollars to shelter migrants, money they say should be going to help Chicagoans in poor neighborhoods.
Well, that's inconvenient for The Powers That Be. One group of useful idiots has realized that another group of useful idiots poses a danger to them, and is reacting. And in other news, MetLife has sold off a bunch of retail space in Water Tower Place in Chicongo for conversion into medical offices or "another type of use". What do you want to bet that old or dying malls in the U.S. start getting converted into immigrant housing?
WTF, I love beaners now?
What about "Hispanic of any race?"
Good point though.
I used to do a lot of travel work that landed me across the Fwy from Compton. It hasn't been black in forever.
I drove through there, you know "by accident' sticking to the center of the roads looking for a liquor store. But I've been a lot of desperate places looking for a liquor store. A lot of places don't let 'em in nice neighborhoods.
They do, they just have to repackage them for upper middle class tastes. Instead of Joe's Liquor on the corner, there's a Specs, or Beverages & More, or Costco liquor.
They are in more places than they used to be. Dallas, for instance, used to restrict which neighborhoods they could be in, roughly preventing them from setting up shop in the nicest areas. They would be right on the edges of such areas, cuz there's customers within.
They were also nicer; you're right about that.
Other states I have been to have no blue laws whatsoever, and you can buy liquor on any corner or in the grocery store. And yet some others have state-run liquor stores.
I’ve seen this and my only saving Grace was being fluent in Spanish.
