In reply to your post about racism in New York, I
won't repeat it:

Not long ago a young boy was beaten into a coma by a
couple of white youths.  Luckily, he survived and is
in rehabilitation.  They are in jail.

Just today several white policemen beat a lone black
policeman, who was trying to help them.  They screamed,
"You are not one of us."

This stuff goes on all the time in CHicago, but mostly
black and white.  The Jewish community is living far north
where no one ever touches them except an occasional
march by the Klu Klux Klan.

Chicago and its surrounding suburbs are a strange 
patchwork of races and ethnic groups.  Ever changing and
shifting.  One neighborhood going downhill and then suddenly
10 years later its on the upswing.  All it takes it money.
