This is why there is nothing wrong with separation of the races.

It's only murder. Just one of a delightful variety of violent crimes. Never mind why homicide rates are considered the single most reliable and consistent piece of crime data.

And sure, Chicago doesn't get much attention in the national press these days. My apologies for picking some random backwater to make a point, but I'm sure that someone as informed as you realizes that there is not a good national dataset covering murders. Fox News. Cranky uncles. Facebook. What do I get for pronouncing the magic words?

Bullsh**t, you saw an Illinois AV and, apparently not owning a map, thought ‘Chicago’ is a great own on everyone in 400 mile radius.

Aside from which, How are violent crime rates relevant to the ‘wave’ of shoplifters the bill in question is supposed to stop?

Robbery is considered a violent crime because it involves violence or the threat thereof. 20 people simultaneously engaging in organized theft very well could be considered an implicit threat of violence and thus robbery.

Good.

Affirmative action is the greatest example of modern-day systemic racism.

Systemic racism? Talk about white fragility.

Fragility is when people are upset about being discriminated against, apparently.

Oh my goodness, white people have every advantage imaginable. Universities making a small effort to correct for this imbalance isn't discrimination. Mediocre white people need to realize that maybe they aren't qualified instead of crying about affirmative action.

Asians are white?

White adjacent, yes.

 I think he was joking. Or at least I hope so.

Nah. Read his post history.

Go to church.

Worst advice in this kind of thread. Weekly hour-long lectures about why you're going to hell are not helpful for people with anxiety and depression
