    Except...
    Companies owned by minorities and women are sharing a 43 percent piece of the city contracting pie, but African-Americans still lag behind, with an 11 percent sliver.”

    So it does seem whites are able to get contracts with the city of Chicago.

    You are the one misreading and misunderstanding. Ask any contractor that works on contracts with the city of Chicago about why they register their businesses on their wives.
    You can deny the truth all you want, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

    Again, it would be cool if you had a source. You don't. So your "opinion" is nothing more than unsubstantiated nonsense. Cool beans. Let me know when you get your hands on some verifiable facts.

    Again we ask for a source, and again you have none. Your racialist fantasies are a poor substitute for facts and evidence

    So what demographic, other than white males, owns more businesses in Chicago? And what is your source?

    No I did not.
    You are making excuses to justify racism. You can bid a lower amount for the contract, better timelines and still get outbid by someone from “minority”, even if they charge higher fees and take longer to complete. This is unfair competition and racial discrimination in the open, legal and systemic.

    You said you were never discriminated against. That’s not white privilege, that’s your parents investing into you. There are plenty of white people who are hard workers and who need those contracts to feed those families.
    That’s why many conservatives take any new “anti-racism” initiatives with such resistance - hard working people will be discriminated even more with each new law.
    True anti-racism comes with true and fair competition. If you are trying to bring up all races at the expense of one singled out group then you have legal systemic racial discrimination.
    Plain and simple.

    You clearly don’t understand it.
    It’s not about what races shares what. It’s about any new white person trying to start a business facing serious discrimination. How do you expect to root out racism with these laws and rules?

    What racism? 57% of businesses are white male owned. If that is racism then it’s not real effective hahaha
    And I’ve never been discriminated against because I’m white.

    Is that factual ownership or legal ownership?
    Did those businesses compete with minority businesses in the bidding process?

    What if the city gave top preferences in their contracting to whites and made it extremely difficult to bit for blacks? What would you call that?

    So you admit white men have more ownership than any other demographic. Cool. And you've failed to produce evidence of your claims that white men can't start a business in Chicago. Good to know your racialist complaints were pure nonsense. And I predict another "response" that fails to address these facts. Maybe another 1 to 2 sentence denialist "response"?

    Don’t know and doesn’t matter. You claimed white owned businesses couldn’t get any contracts. You have been proven wrong. 57%...majority.

    This does not prove racial discrimination against whites. If majority ownership of businesses in Chicago means there is no discrimination against whites then one can argue there is no discrimination against blacks because the US had a black president.

    Not cool.

    I never said white men can’t start businesses in Chicago. Reread what I wrote.

    You can’t seem to even understand what I’m talking about.

    Typical. You’ve been proven wrong so now you need to play the what if this what if that. Clearly it’s not difficult for white males to get contracts given they have 57%.

    No, you did not prove me wrong. My point stands - there is racial discrimination against whites because the city makes it difficult to whites to bid for contracts. Most business owners I know who do such contracts register their businesses on their wives.
    Your refusal to recognize a problem doesn’t change realities of life.

    Right...so difficult that they have 57% of the contract. 57 is the majority. Move along now.

    It’s difficult to compete when minorities bid, because discrimination kicks in. How can you not understand that? You completely ignore the process and claim end statistics as proof that the process is clean and fair, which is not the case.

    Again, our government provides tax credits to businesses who hire minority contractors but not for hiring white ones. By any measure of the word that’s discrimination based upon race.
