Haven't you heard? Blacks cannot be racist. Only white people can be racists.Originally Posted by Hello_Kitty27
This story took the whole topic of Richard Roeper's column in today's Sun Times.
It is very well-said, in my opinion. Here's a piece of it:
<snip> One resident of that building, who did not want to be identified on camera, told ABC-7 she saw the woman in the courtyard and outside her own door.
"She got up on MY floor, she tried to come into my place," said the woman. "I said 'Oh no no no, you know, white people and us, we don't mix.' "
Where's the outrage?
...The residents of the Taylor Homes are black, and it's not as if they see a lot of white visitors.
...But even if that resident somehow felt threatened, why not call the cops? Maybe it's because she doesn't trust the police. Maybe it's because she has enough problems and she doesn't care to get involved with things she doesn't understand. Maybe it's because she wants nothing to do with white people under any circumstances.
"White people and us, we don't mix." So sad.
You can imagine the outrage if a young black woman had wandered into a white neighborhood, and a white woman had told the local news, "You know, black people and us, we don't mix." You can imagine the press conferences and the protests and the calls for action. We should be equally outraged when something like this happens.
As one e-mailer said to me, "I wish someone could explain to me how a 21-year-old girl ends up in the Robert Taylor Homes, is [allegedly] raped, begs for help and is told by a black woman she isn't going to help because she is WHITE, the young woman is pushed or jumped out of a seventh-floor window, and NOBODY is outraged? [Where are] the religious leaders like [Jesse] Jackson and [James] Meeks? Where is it on the news coverage? This is a young woman with mental problems and NO ONE is speaking up on her behalf."
It's a legitimate point. Wouldn't it be something if community leaders reached out to the victim's family, pledged support to the police in their investigation, called for residents of the Robert Taylor Homes to come forward with any information they might have, and issued statements condemning the mentality that says whites and blacks don't mix? </snip>![]()

I believe you Dottie and you have my support 
I agree that the mother is justified in suing the Chicago police. I looked up Christina Eilman (the girl who fell or was thrown out the window) on MySpace and she has a page here:
