Editorial: Ald. William Hall castigates Walgreens but fails to confront its reason for leaving Chatham – Chicago Tribune/AOL

"He did not at any point in the interviews we viewed acknowledge the company’s key concern. Walgreens said it didn’t feel like it could safely operate the store. That’s a non-negotiable problem."

This is not a racial thing or a Black culture thing. This is a fundamental flaw in the progressive viewpoint.

Progressives need to see crime as a real problem affecting poor neighborhoods, and that it is criminal behavior that needs to be addressed to make life better in those neighborhoods.

This alder rat’s reaction points directly to why the black culture is a failed, corrupt and morally bankrupt culture. Nothing will ever change in the community until that culture is entirely disavowed. And the liberals cannot allow that or they will lose their power base.
