Apparently the Residents of the South Shore of Chicago Are Racists, Too

Bonchie at RedState sets it up:

A Chicago-area town hall erupted into chaos recently after South Shore leaders announced that they would be receiving just 250 to 500 illegal immigrants at a local facility. Residents launched into apoplectic rage, demanding to know why they weren't consulted. In another instance, a local alderwoman proclaimed to cheers that Chicago's broader emergency doesn't denote an emergency for their community, a clear message of "not in my backyard."

...

From start to finish, that clip is just a work of art. In the beginning, we see Chicago's "chief engagement officer" (I have no idea what that is), an obviously very left-wing individual, lecturing the audience on seeing the situation as a humanitarian crisis.

I think this is the woman who says that "this is a crisis for Chicago, but not for the South Shore" -- I think she's trying to lecture the audience into accepting the predicate that they can handle anything, including a flood of illegal aliens.

The crowd does not agree.

The video then cut to residents shouting and screaming over those speaking as things careen out of control. Things then shift to an alderwoman from the 8th ward pleasing the crowd by rallying against the transfer of illegal immigrants. Finally, the clip ends with another woman in the audience angrily asking, "How could you do that without consulting us!?"

We Republicans have been asking exactly that of our "Republican Leaders" for thirty fucking years now.

The South Shore is 92.7% black, so I'm very curious to see how Jake Tapper explains this all as "darker-complected white supremacy" or finds some other way to blame this on the White Devils.

Even the super-leftwing subscriber/commenters at the New York Times say enough is enough.

Meanwhile, in DC, Island Capsizing Risk Management Expert Hank Johnson has thoughts:
