As part of that strategy, CDPH said the department will allocate $9.6 million in COVID-19 relief funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish what officials call Healthy Chicago Equity Zones.
Additionally, if we’re so racist, how is it that the judicial system is so lenient on criminals? How is it that the RULE OF LAW isn’t enforced against certain demographics? (LOOKING AT YOU FOXXY!!!) And, how is it that the vast proportion of violent crime seems concentrated amongst certain demographics?

“Racism” isn’t a public health crisis. “Crime” is the primary public health crisis here. “Black on black violence” IS the contributing factor to public health crisis in Chicago, Madam Mayor Lightfoot. Get your facts straight, lady.

Seems like a (barely) veiled pretense to reallocate public health dollars (federal and state) to social justice projects. It costs a lot to send social workers out to the hoods bearing clipboards — probably >$50K per year since they have all that graduate education. Perhaps we can divert some of this health money to underfunded pensions of professors who teach inbox management.
This smells a lot like “declaring” non-working teachers and other idle education employees to be “essential.”

Every signal property taxpayer in Illinois should now start screaming at your local state representatives and local mayors, and at every worthless legislator in Springfield for property tax reparations. This has gone on far far to long Springfield you have milked us all the ATM’s are dry.

There are more poor white people on the dole in the US than black people. Is that racism too?
As long as there are any white people in the City of Chicago there is a racisim problem because all white people are born as racist devils. Until all white people are reeducated, confess their inborn racist hatred of everyone who isn’t white, punished for their original sin of slavery and forced to individually pay reparations, then they will forever be impure racist monsters. And if you don’t agree…..then, of course, that is proof that you are racist!!!
No…the city with a gay, black, socialist, multi-millionaire mayor has a racist problem!

For the progressive left, the repressive astronomical debt burden paid for city services and benefits to pay for the gaurenteeted cash accounted lifestyles of the Illinois gov class and their family members by taxpayers & business could never-ever possibly have anythimg to do with systemic racism or economic slavery? Free us from this hypocrisy!!

Flap doodle buzzwords.. lifestyle choices also contribute to mortality rates. Ya know morbidly obese victims of systemic poverty. Lack of sleep also contributes to heart disease. Going out at 0500 and blasting away at a gathering or situation could probably lead to health problems. Captain Smooth for breakfast is bad too for young at risk youth. Captain crunch bathed in Creme De Menthe. Lori isn’t looking good, I could feel her shaking through the TV. If I were in the media,I’d look for something substantial to use as cover. She’s likely to pull out her derringer at start blasting away… Read more »

Regurgitated marxist claptrap attempting to be relevant again.
Grew up in the city through the 90s, the only systemic anything that I’ve seen is the 100 years of team D control.
The city is where it is now because it has a habit of driving any threat to their power out.
So, shocker, the segregation is a direct result of Chicago government policy.
Mayor .. please nuke this city so we can start over.

You really cannot make this up… Poverty isn’t caused by racism. Violence isn’t caused by racism. Not having a two parent household isn’t caused by racism. Not valuing an education isn’t caused by racism. I could go on, but at some point, those of us who have two brain cells will simply leave. These people are both dumb (of low intelligence) and true believers – thus they are incapable of understanding that they have been lied to and are simply pawns in a game of chess beyond their cognitive capacity. And, Lightfoot, you and anyone you allow to push this… Read more »
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Additionally, if we’re so racist, how is it that the judicial system is so lenient on criminals? How is it that the RULE OF LAW isn’t enforced against certain demographics? (LOOKING AT YOU FOXXY!!!)
