As a Black man I have to lol, at all the "outrage" from blacks, liberals, and the liberal media, about the how the Travon Martin trail verdict. but you don't here a peep out of most of these people at the slaughter of young black men by other black men going on in Chicago right now(and other urban areas). If Geoarge Zimmerman was black and had shot and killed Treyvon Martin(for whatever reason) that trial wouldn't have gotten 30 seconds on the news, there would be any protest. I guess black people who get murdered don't count unless its by "whitey". Where the Outrage for Chicago, where's the mass protest, where's those clowns Jesse Jackson, and Al sharpton? When is President Obama going to address the violence is Chicago? When I go out, I don't worry about being harmed by a white person, I'm more worried about somebody who looks like me putting a bullet in my back.
I'll address it, but you already know how I am. The issue in Chicago is a local issue that has a lot more to do with drugs and money than it does with race (which is little). It has gone on for so long in Chicago that sadly, it's now ignored. Suburban kids fuel a demand for heroin and other drugs. The crooks and gangbangers have all their sales points set up in neighborhoods within walking distance of Metra and El trains. It is a very serious business. If you ever hear of a random person found in a trunk, it is almost always the result of someone screwing with a customer.
In turn, we have a situation where the suburbs, trying to keep an image, pretend their suburbs don't have an issue. You can go to towns such as Naperville, Hinsdale, Oak Park etc. on any given day and you will always see a slew of strung-out kids waiting at the train for their fix.
As for the city, the money was just too good and many took the quick money. It's a constant stream of revenue that will make you a lot more money than working for Wal-Mart. It got out of hand quickly to the point that it will take a huge effort to turn the tide. Suburban kids need their fix and people in the worst neighborhoods want to make more than peanuts.
It's an economic issue, not racial.
That's NO reason have genocidal Black on Black murders. The drug thing is an excuse.
There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating.
Remarks at a meeting of Operation PUSH in Chicago (27 November 1993). Quoted in "Crime: New Frontier - Jesse Jackson Calls It Top Civil-Rights Issue" by Mary A. Johnson, 29 November 1993, Chicago Sun-Times (ellipsis in original). Partially quoted in US News & World Report (10 March 1996)

Carry on .
Uh; more like hood rats and they ain't always "Black". There are some "white" fools who are just as stupid and, I'm an "anglo white".
Where do you think the term "Gangster City" comes from??
Hint: It's not from blacks.
Chicago's been a violent city.
According to right wingers, Chicago only became violent after January 2009
