Even for a day or two he just can't stop himself from being hateful.

For right-wingers 90% of any Chicago joke is already done because it's about Chicago. It's already implied in their mind that black people have guns, are criminals, are violent, and they shoot people.

I bet a "Are ya triggered?" Netflix comedian could riff for at least 10 minutes making Chicago a slur like this...

"Chicago. Right? Chicago. Why is it that we talk 'bout Chicago all the time? Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. Who's from Chicago that was in the White House that we hat— Oh, I don't want anybody to misunderstand. I'm not talking about race. People just hate stuff like broccoli. You just hate it. I just mean the guy in the White House that we didn't care for was from Chicago. We didn't like the guy. The Chicago guy. And ya know - I was just reading about a different guy - a good guy in Chicago. A white cop in Chicago. He's a white cop. He just is. Anybody triggered already? Are ya triggered by that? Why? That's what he is! This good white cop got shot in Chicago by... you know..."

I make a lot of Chicago jokes, too, but because of 1930s gangsters. Big oopsies...

I once made a joke at reddit about Kwame Kilpatrick. I had never seen such a Wikipedia page for a politican before. My mouth was agape. Most of the page was a list of crimes - one crime after another. It was quite something.

Kwame Kilpatrick

Kwame Malik Kilpatrick (born June 8, 1970) is an American politician, convicted fraudster and racketeer, who previously served as the 72nd mayor of Detroit – from 2002 to 2008.

I only posted because I couldn't believe how brazen he was and how much crime he committed. But later I realized racists would think I was likely a kindred spirit because he was the black mayor of Detroit.
