If i remember, they report the weekly kill rate in parts of South Chicago. Where no white's live.
Shootings in Chicago get national attention. The majority of such shootings are gang related and occur in black communities. It's black on black crime.
Chicago is not in the top ten of cities for gun homicides. One would not know this, given the national attention shootings receive in Chicago.

Any kind of crime requires some kind of "flashiness" in order for it to be newsworthy. Most crimes don't get reported in the news, at least not in a spectacular way. Crime is nothing new.
FYI, I didn't say you were white or a conservative lol. I said that white people live on the Southside. That is all.
And your second post above is in regards to the actual murders in Chicago, please note the tally of murders does not take into effect the "murder rate." Chicago is still not in the top 10 cities with the highest murder rate, neither is NYC. From your article:
Quote:
But residents of Chicago and New York were much less likely to be victims of a
homicide than residents of Flint, Mich.
Flint and Detroit have a high murder rate. One is more likely to be killed in both of those cities than in either Chicago or New York City.
And FYI, I live in Atlanta. Atlanta's murder rate has fallen and I believe we fell out of the top 10 in the past few years, which is good. But on our local news stations, they do report black on white crime all the time. Also white on black crime and black on Hispanic crime and black on black crime and white on white crime and so on.
I also get WGN and watch Chicago news sometimes (my husband is from Chicago - on the southside I might add and is from a neighborhood which is not considered that great, a few white people even live in my mother in law's neighborhood and not far from her neighborhood is the Pullman neighborhood which is about 40% white). On WGN, they frequently show pictures and give descriptions of subjects. The last time I watched it they said an Asian man was found in Chicago who had killed his family in NYC the week before in Chinatown he was found in Chicago's Chinatown.
If it is, why won't they report the rise in racial crime? Do they think it will cause a race war? Do you think it will reflect poorly on the whole community?
As the story reports. The first question of 911 operator's and Peace officers is to ask skin color of the perp.
Yet the news media finds it a non issue... unless of course you are white or light latino and the crime is against a black person.
Let me ask you a question. Since most crimes are among people who know each other and proximity has something to do with that, is it not logical that as society becomes more integrated that black crime will touch more white victims, as more blacks and whites get to know each other and live in closer proximity?
Actually, that is sensationalist reporting. Chicago has 2.7 million people. While 500 murders is not pretty, Chicago's murder rate is actually much lower than:
Detroit
New Orleans
St. Louis
Baltimore
Newark
Oakland
Stockton
Kansas City
Philadelphia
Cleveland
Memphis
Atlanta
I said the part of South Chicago where no whites live.
If you know S. Chi.. you'd know, that no white would ever go into some area's.
BTW... I'm not a Conservative, and I am not white.
So why are you fascinated with the fact that "young black men" are killing each other on the "Southside of Chicago'?
It obviously disturbs you to no end since you had to create a thread about it?
George Zimmermann disturbs me as well yet I don't create a million threads about his sorry ass.

Can you link a story that points to what you are saying. I'd like to send it to WND for their correction.
