Amid Civil Unrest, FedEx Halts Delivery To Some Black Areas In Chicago – WBEZ (Chicago)

WBEZ analyzed crime data from May 29 through June 2, when most of the civil unrest took place. The results raise questions about how the company determined which areas were safe for delivery, which ones were not, and why restrictions remained in place long after the height of unrest had subsided.

WBEZ should send one reporter to Englewood to interview residents and get their reaction

Then they can send a second reporter to suss out what happened to the first one, whom they mysteriously lost contact with. What’s the over/under on them losing all their reporters in the span of a week, I wonder?

Corporation uses data to make logical decision. News at ten.

Logic is racist if it results in a disparate outcome. The Greeks, who discovered logic, were nothing more than a bunch of racist, slave owning white men, and their contributions to civilization should be disregarded.

How dare FedEx claim that Englewood was unsafe.

Why don’t you go there and let a 17 year old kid kill you because it is a boring day.
