You're writing this almost exactly 100 years after the murder of Eugene Williams in Chicago, who dared to enter a whites-only beach.

And a few days after the murder of Chicago cop Ella French who dared to stop a black man for having an expired license plate.

And i've heard recently of the murder that you are talking about. That was not done under color of law. There was no legal segregation in Chicago. There were neighborhoods that one stayed out of for ethnic reasons. Italians were subject to attack for entering Irish neighborhoods and vice versa, but that's worlds different from legal apartheid.

And for whataboutism, what about the burning and looting of Michigan avenue in Chicago by BLM "protesters" protesting WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA totally out of control of anyone in Illinois.

When Inequality gets really bad and the American Dream is a fantasy from a lottery ... a society that has become based on the happy few and vulture capitalism ... television and Hollywood showing the glitter and glamour of success ... the frustration of living in poverty and being treated as outcasts ...

'Winning Has Come Through Revolts': A Black Lives Matter Activist On Why She Supports Looting

Shooting by police of Latrell Allen in Chicago's Englewood led to a standoff in that community between residents and officers led to Monday morning looters on North Michigan Avenue wealthy district.

This isn't policing, it's outright intimidation and confrontation with weapons made for war in Iraq.

Violence in America is beyond pale and is increasing by the minute for every weapon going over the counter.

Denying American society is racist and denies equal representation at the ballot box, will certainly tear into the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Founding of America was started by a revolution with the French Revolution as background ... clearly the 21st Century demands change and may well be by revolt when leaders do not step to the plate.

There are many stages of poverty across the globe and leads in many regions to upheaval and terror by groups possessing weapons. The forced migration has just started ... climate change will function as an accelerator. Hurricane Katrina ... Ida ... next? The destructive wars of choice in the Middle East and beyond has led to a setback in solving problems, it has created the forever war on terror. A declaration by Joe Biden will not change that fact.

Southside Chicago doesn't need Minneapolis to fuel unrest ...

The rioting and looting was on North Michigan Avenue, where there is something worth stealing.

archived "Under the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (42 U.S.C.A. Section 1983), color of law is synonymous with State Action," specifically, an officer of government as distinct from "private person.

SO. Any officer such as executive, legislator, LE agent, or state licensee who deliberately contravenes US Constitutional law (by statute, ordinance, interdiction, or dereliction) to abridge legal protections afforded citizens expressly coded by the Civil Rights Act of 1866 et seq. and governed by 14th, 15th amdts among others,

is engaged in commission of a federal violation, entertaining both civil and criminal codes.

Accordingly, civil courts judge disputes of lawful intercourse between "private persons" according to standards of "equity law"--the balance of performance by litigants, if you will.

Real estate mortgage convenants are but one grotesque yet still active example how "free trade" in US operates under color of law and casually enforces political and economic inequity.

THE NUMBER of "private persons" who deliberately colluded, conspired, and/or materially benefited from such unlawful practices invoked by mundane ordinances or contested statutes
AND EXTENT TO WHICH all "private persons" who colluded, conspired, and/or materially benefited by such acts precisely because they and their descendants were not excluded

might appear to some to be untenable equation, but it's not. The variables are known and their values are all around us and quantifiable.

How would they know? How could they measure the injuries sanctioned by the state with which they abide and are directly and indirectly rewarded? Who's tending the ledger strapped to the family bible and shredding mementos? Why would they confess handicapping the competition in the great race from the middle to the top of the pyramid of US American ingenuity and leisure built on the back of slaves' unfree labor essential workers' industry? Thus, plausible deniability is a common feature in opposition today to class action reparations.
