...Scott Walker didn't invent the segregation and underlying racism in Milwaukee. He only enhanced it.

As mentioned in the article, Walker did indeed do his best to decimate the transit system, cutting it by more than 20% in his time as county executive, cutting off many people from jobs. Of course, Walker also didn't want "those people" bothering the good folks in Brookfield and other suburbs.

Walker's separate and unequal approach was apparent in other areas as well. Many years ago, lefty bloggers, including myself, showed the disparity in the way parks in the inner city were being neglected while suburban parks were in much better shape.

It should also be pointed out that it's just not Walker that is trying to keep segregation intact. Milwaukee Alderman Bob Donovan is a good example of that. After an incident involving some black youths at State Fair, Donovan and fellow Alderman Joe Dudzik sent out a blatantly racist press release that blamed black people for everything but the clogs in their kitchen sinks. Not done being an ass, Donovan also proposed a plan where black kids would be gathered up and locked away in boarding schools and orphanages.
