How segregated a city is is subjective, so there's no definitive list. There's a lot of different institutions that make rankings on the subject, and they all have their own data and methodology. But generally, the results all come out about the same. Chicago is so high that it often comes up in first. As an example, UIC did a report where Chicago came out in first last year.

The takeaway being that Chicago is extremely segregated.

Let's also not forget that the first pitch W. threw out at the Yankees game after 9/11 is by far the most "Presidential" moment of the past 50 years. Sure he made some dumb decisions (all presidents do) but as more and more time goes by i've actually come to respect the man. He was dealt an awfully lovely hand and made the mistake of surrounding himself with a handful of idiots, and I don't think history will judge him nearly as harshly as we all thought 10 years ago.
On top of that, read up on what he did with HIV in Africa. Tbh W. deserved the Nobel Peace Prize far more than Obama, but the Iraq War ruined his chances.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

george w was elected by the supreme court, started two disastrous quagmire wars, passed the beginnings of school privatization "reform", slashed taxes to the bone before an economic collapse he did little to prevent, and passed the patriot act.

he deserves no rehabilitation.

trying to find a definitive "most segregated city" is a fool's errand since there's a number of ways to run those kinds of subjective numbers, but by any metric chicago is a hideously segregated city so i don't really think this is the thing to get snappy at him for tbh

he's about the last person who should be doing a pedantic well, actually about data

i also don't know why he would think that heavily segregated cities wouldn't also be wantonly corrupt, since high levels of segregation are going to be fueled by cabalist behavior that feeds corruption.
