RACE IV: MILWAUKEE. There was a ton of interesting stuff in the article InstaPundit linked about how Northern cities are now more segregated than Southern or Western ones. Here’s the article (link requires registration); here are the best bits:

“In Milwaukee, where 37% of the city’s 600,000 residents are African American, the disparities between the races are among the greatest in the nation. The inequities are glaring in nearly every social index: income, child poverty, education, even access to home mortgage loans.

“Blacks in metropolitan Milwaukee earn just 49 cents for every dollar that whites earn, far below the national average of 64 cents to the dollar.

“As a result, 44% of the city’s black children live in families scrambling to subsist on incomes below the poverty line. Only 10% of white children are equally poor.
