As I caught the bus to the airport on the weekend, I was, as I have been before, the only white person on the bus. When I got on the plane to fly to Salt Lake City, there were, I think, no black people on the plane.
There are more black than white people in Chicago, with Latino's coming in a close third.
What a stark contrast between those who can afford to ride the bus (read, can't afford a car), and those who can afford to take the plane. It was the clearest sign I've had of the wealth discrepancy between white & black in Chicago. It's pretty much duplicated around the world....
