Chicago's White Liberals' Judgement Questioned in Big Box Debate

John Kass reports:

"I've got these white liberals telling me what's good for my community. But this big-box thing will cost black people jobs," Ald. Ike Carothers (29th) told me during Wednesday's pontifications.

"If I put out a notice that there were 500 jobs waiting in my ward--what Wal-Mart was offering for each store--you'd see a line of people from my ward all the way to Mississippi. People want jobs. That's it."

A prominent Democratic,African-American Alderman wonders why white liberals don't care about unemployed Blacks in his ward.I guess not everyone can get a union job in Chicago.Maybe if more Blacks were named Roti.
