East St. Louis has the highest crime rate in the United States (according to the FBI's 100 most dangerous cities list). According to FBI's data of 2007, its murder rate hit 101.9 per population of 100,000, surpassing that of cities such as Gary, Indiana (48.3 per pop. 100,000); Baltimore, Maryland (43.3); and Detroit, Michigan (47.3); as well as that of its neighbor St. Louis (37.2). FBI data shows East St. Louis' rate of rape exceeded 250 per population of 100,000.
Just to let you know, thats a country, not a city.
I think when he said "85% of the homicides in Chicago are black on black homicides" that struck a huge point. It's easy for the 2/3 of Chicago that aren't black to just sit and say that's "their" problem in "their" neighborhoods. People in those neighborhoods then think no one cares and everyone is judging and they tend to push away. There's a huge problem of no one "snitching" and even the huge number of those shot who refuse to say who shot them or cooperate at all with police. I don't know what the solution is, but it's very strange to live here and see the two totally different Chicagos. The one most people live in that's safe and nice, and then the opposite that's a crazy war zone of shooting. I'd imagine 70% of people in the city haven't even been near any of these areas in years.

At this point the only solution is to do what's best for you and yours and get the HLL out.
I agree that some people need to change the way they think but that takes generations to overcome.
I don't think if they would want a higher crime rate.
But I know they want money$$$$$$$$!.

This is some ice cold truth that people are scared to talk about.
Reason being is that alot of people don't have time to wait generations.
