Danny Glover is a particularly egregious example but pretty much all of them suffer from a lack of realism or ability to address the failures and pathologies in their own community. Its easier to just blame whites. Even though I doubt 3% of the cab drivers in most large U.S. cities are white.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-19013338527690901672013-01-20T16:33:39.129-08:002013-01-20T16:33:39.129-08:00I live on the near north side of Chicago and took ...I live on the near north side of Chicago and took the Green Line out to Oak Park today. It is very prosperous and well-maintained but more SWPL than old money/preppy like Winnetka. I walked along Lake Street through Oak Park to Austin where Chicago starts. It is quite remarkable how abrupt the change is and how the blacks for the most part stay out of Oak Park. I assume they must get hassled by the Oak Park police but saw no evidence of this. I walked north on Austin to Chicago Avenue. There were some black males standing about who looked me over but didn't make any moves towards me. I decided to take the Chicago Avenue bus back downtown and was able to see the Austin neighborhood. Very, very depressed and entirely poor black. There are formerly nice buildings which could be fixed up to be like Oak Park but I don't see any evidence of that happening unlike many other gentrifying areas of Chicago. We eventually hit Ukrainian Village which is fairly nice and getting to be more hipsterish along with the rest of West Town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-24584974486882905062013-01-19T10:39:27.356-08:002013-01-19T10:39:27.356-08:00"The offenders, described as six to seven Afr...<i>"The offenders, described as six to seven African American females with a light completion between the ages of 16 and 20, enter cabs in the Loop.<br /><br />Upon arrival to their destinations on the South Side, one of the girl chokes the driver with a rope or cord, while another threatens the cab driver with a knife, demanding cash.

A white guy who has been involved and successful in both county government and the private sector is likely to throw his hat into the ring.
