Who would have thought that Chicago is the most segregated city in the US? Blacks moved North to get away from segregation in the South. Apparently going to Chicago did not help much. Neither did going to Detroit, which more or less ceased to be a major American city after the black migration there. It degenerated into a giant, poverty-stricken slum. Whites in Chicago may be afraid that they will follow Detroit down the drain.
