Trump's now calling for "stop and frisk" ONLY in Chicago. Why Chicago? Because he's a racist.

Yesterday he called for "stop an frisk" across the whole country; now he's saying he only meant Chicago.

Why is this racist? Of metro areas above 250K population, Chicago isn't one of the top ten most violent. It isn't one of the top 20 most violent.

There are 23 cities more dangerous than Chicago.

So why is Trump calling out Chicago?

Because President Obama came from Chicago. This is an attempt to smear Chicago in order to smear the President.

To Trump supporters "Chicago" has become code. It's another way to smear President Obama.

There you have it.

We are dealing with Bannon,Ailes,and other Twits from the Alt Right. Con Job loves this sh*t adversity like this. He is such a callous cold person.

Chicago is not the site of the riots. As far as I know it has been quite some time since Chicago had a race riot. It seems odd, and like you said, probably racist.
