Sun-Times may be the voice of progressivism, as it has claimed in the last few months, but it’s running a very subversive daily news feature about crime.

It’s “24seven,” on page 9 today, far-right (ahem) column, with the usual rundown on mayhem. Thing is, and here’s the subversive part, the crime is almost all in black or hispanic neighborhoods, this day almost all in black ones.

Subversive because it says that if you’re black, step back when it comes to law and order, which is something we are not supposed to say, under penalty of hate-crime accusation or worse.

Today’s offering:

1. SUNDAY | 10:15 P.M. GRESHAM: Argument leads to shooting:

Steve Huff, 40, was shot at 8512 S. Elizabeth. Huff, of 9505 S. Marshfield, was shot in the head — apparently after he and an acquaintance “exchanged words” with a group on the street, police said.

2. SUNDAY | 10:45 P.M. AUSTIN:
Man fatally shot

Darrious Blackmon, 23, of 5030 W. Ohio, was shot outside in the 500 block of North Lawler. He was pronounced dead shorty after the shooting at Mount Sinai Hospital.

3. SUNDAY | 11:30 P.M. STONY ISLAND PARK:
27-year-old shot in neck

A 27-year-old man was shot in the neck near the intersection of East 84th Street and South Stony Island. The man was in a vehicle when the shooting occurred, and he was expected to survive.

4. MONDAY | 1 A.M. WEST GARFIELD PARK:
Church broken into

The True House of Holiness, at 4157 W. Harrison, was broken into. Someone climbed on top of a garbage can and removed a vent outside to get in the building. It was unclear if anything was stolen, and no one was in custody.

5. MONDAY | NOON LINCOLN PARK:
Bank heist

A North Community Bank branch at 2000 N. Halsted was robbed. One person made off with an unknown amount of cash, according to police.

I shouldn’t call attention to this, it might get S-T in trouble, but there it is.

To which this from reader Margaret McCarthy:

The Chicago Defender, in its early days, was a voice of hope and encouragement to the black community when it was trying to survive real racism. The Sun Times might as well rename itself, Ghetto News. It’s either featuring the daily crime by ghetto low-lifes, a long whine about racism and poverty, and/or the cruelty of deporting illegal aliens. There’s little news of any substance to interest middle-class people in the metropolitan area. How they survive is the question because their demographic is hardly a newspaper-reading, thoughtful sub-group. Oh, wait, I forgot that guilty white liberals are a large demographic sub-group in after decades of Leftist education.
