The wide racial gap in health is growing in Chicago, a major new study has found.

..."What's happening is that, as advances become available for these different diseases, white people are able to gain access to advances, and black people are not," said Steven Whitman, director of the Sinai Urban Health Institute.

I don’t think Mrs. Whitman’s little Stevie would mind picking up the medical bills for the “black people.” Unless he’s a racist and a bigot.

And how many blacks does Planned Parenthood target for extermination? The number of blacks getting abortions has wiped out an entire generation since Roe v. Wade.

When they wake up, there is going to be one heck of a payback.

Just wait a minute...this can’t be right. Didn’t nobama and his minions run chicago (and still do)? i thought it was an idyllic place free of crime, illness, unhappiness and discrimination. Doves flew and people laughed. i just can’t believe this article describes what REALLY goes on there.
