Malcolm Brogdon on Milwaukee: 'I've Never Lived in a City This Segregated'
- Thread starter douche
- Start date
I'm not sure if you're serious but I've looked at GIS maps and have been able to see how Milwaukee is segregated.

I have a lot of respect for this kid. He might be my favorite player from Milwaukee (yes even more than Giannis). His play on the court has been stellar and you can tell he has such a high IQ. But what impresses you even more is the fact that he's speaking out and standing up for social issues that plague our community (segregation and building wells in africa through his foundation). I am rooting for this young man.

Rarely hear people talk about life in Milwaukee
I was going make a post about how black Milwaukee seemed based off of the crowd that was behind the tnt stage in deer city or whatever they’re calling it
My city is segregated, but by blocks not sections
So south philly had black blocks but you are always no more than 5-10 blocks away from a white block or Asian block so you constantly come into contact with those races whether in school or supermarket
In SP at least, the number of blocks away might be higher in other sections now that I think about it

Milwaukee is just as bad as if not worse than Chicago.
That's thing in most cities there's a hyperbolic trend where the fortunate / privileged / benefactors from inequity are significantly further from the oppressed and marginalized.What cities aren't hyper segregated tho
I mean you kind of expect this. Even amongst homogeneous populations. For example, if you're a billionaire would you expect to live next to the slums. It's just not practical.
its only two neighborhoods out of 77 that have been historically mixed with black and white folks in Chicago (Rodgers Park & Hyde Park)
I was raised in Rodgers Park and even still you knew where the black folks lived and where the white folks was at.It was never truly integrated

Milwaukee is just filled with racist transplants from Chicago
Beverly is kinda mixed like Hyde Park. Those neighborhoods are more segregated along class lines
