Chicago Mayor Says That Due To Negative Connotations We Should Stop Using The Word 'Chicago'
CHICAGO — Mayor Brandon Johnson advised Chicago reporters to stop using the word "Chicago" when describing anything that happens in Chicago because of all the negative connotations associated with Chicago.
"You can call it 'The Windy City' or 'Downtown Deep Dish' but do not, under any circumstances call it Chicago," said the mayor of Chicago. "That just wouldn't be appropriate."
The city formerly known as Chicago has been under particular strain of late due to large "mob-like" gatherings disrupting businesses with "loot-like" behavior. Mayor Brandon hopes that calling the city literally anything else will cause the problem to go away.
"There's history in this city. I don't want to be responsible for the birth of more 'baby Al Capones'," Brandon said. "Only by hiding our problems with inoffensive language can we truly overcome them."
"And you can put that quote on an inspirational calendar," he added.
At publishing time, the crime rate of the City-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named continued to rise for some reason.
Chicago has actually had a very successful summer. The giant music festival, Lollapalooza just ended yesterday and was attended by hundreds of thousands of people from around the world, who brought millions to the citys hotel and restaurant business. We also had the groundbreaking NASCAR street race through the streets of Grant Park a month ago.
Chicago is far too big a place to be slowed down by sporadic , although persistent, violence which the right likes to exploit for political purposes.
Really? How are things in Deering, Englewood and C****** Lawn?...
That doesn't sound like a successful summer..... or perhaps someone's bar is set too low?
Chicago crime isn’t that bad if you don’t include the murders.
It's not so bad unless you are a Black woman there.
In Chicago, Black women are around 16% of the population but:
Black woman are easy targets in Chiraq.
In the Upper Midwest, Black women get no respect.
Maybe Brown people don't care about Black racism.
There many cities that have worse crime statistics than Chicago, but dont have to listen to all this shit because they are littler fish.
Big fish eat little fish.
OOps...
