Wow, I have a friend who grew up in Jackson, MS, then moved to Madison to go to college. A quiet, scholarly type, in short order he all but became a Black Panther. He moved down here to Atlanta to get his balance back.

The County of Milwaukee is majority majority (so, of course, the jury pools convicting young black Milwaukeeans are drawn from the county and not the city - giving all new meaning to the term "a jury of your all-white peers"). Blacks only comprise 4% of Wisconsin's population (50% of the prison population - which, for those of you counting at home makes Wisconsin's blacks 1150% more unlawful than Wisconsin's whites)and most of the black population lives in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is what is known as "hyper-segregated." ~(no)rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@...> wrote: > > Segregated, but not mostly white? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kelwyn" <ravena...@...> > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 3:22:40 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern > Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: The Help Haiti Didn't Receive > > > > > > > According the United States government, Milwaukee County is the most > segregated county in America.
