Chicago is the Midwest, yes, but “Middle America” is a colloquial term similar to “The Heartland” specific to suburban/rural areas that are typically conservative and blue collar, not large and diverse cities. I encourage you to check out Chicago and a town like East Saint Louis or Quincy. They’re the same state but…

Have you heard of this awesome statistical concept called proportions? Kansas City’s population is under 500,000 and Chicago’s is over 2.5 million.

‘Billy Joel of fried chicken’!!! That’s fucking gold!
All over Chi & $3.99 a pop. Literally, cannot beat that conceptually...

I’m feeling this but could do with 100% less Ty Dolla Sign. Buuuut maybe it’s not Ty specifically.....could just be the chorus lyrics bothering me; this song didn’t require male perspective and Lizzo would have been a wonderful addition instead of Ty. 

How Nicki Minaj escapes scorn from her supporting and normalizing pedophilia continues to baffle me.

Black people are magic. We are even able to make the flute poppin’. 

Literal first post is another round-about version of this. It’s sad.

This reminds me of one of the aspects of social media that I hate: when black women or even black girls are goofing off during some lax periods of time, an action that’s as old as time, it becomes material for the “morally-superior” to jump on their soapboxes, so they can spout about “the ills in the black community,”…

My hope is that, should my atheism be proven wrong after I die, that Lizzo be my guide to the afterlife.

This is a laughably bad take.

You don’t see why this would be upsetting, why some dudes talking about “break me off a piece of that” is not problematic or, in your words “really hard to get upset about”?  Really?

This is not just “boys being boys” call it what it is;

1. They aren’t testing for pot or heroin, they’re testing for performance enhancing drugs like steroids.

One of the reasons that this problem is so difficult to fix is that the crime is extremely localized and many Chicago residents don’t care about it because it doesn’t happen where they live. There are a few neighborhoods that are statistically dangerous, but the vast majority of the city is relatively safe.

There’s a counterclaim GoFundMe that suggests that Chantel Grant was not a member of MASK and has started a separate GoFundMe, https://www.gofundme.com/f/chantel-grant , to support the family of Chantel Grant. 

Who is “we”? It’s not me. It’s nobody I know. I won’t claim these violent assholes and neither should you.

I think she just has a lower than average amount of blood, and it just takes less for her to get smashed.

I don’t even have a funny/sarcastic comment for this one. This shit just gets too tiring sometimes. So this fine example of the master race gets herself locked up for pulling some careless child endangerment fuckshit just so she could drink. Why is her response to go full Mel Gibson? Nobody black made her abandon her…

That’s the craziest looking 12 year old I’ve ever seen.

Twice the legal limit after 2 shots? That’s some fine bathtub hooch!
