That's the point I was making. There's the demographic shift happening within the black population that resides in the city itself. African Americans are leaving the city and are being replaced by foreign blacks. Foreign blacks don't commit nearly as much crime as native blacks do because they're not entangled in a gang and survival culture and mentality. It's not a politically correct thing to say though. NYC's black population is rather unique in that half of it is literally black immigrants. It's probably why the drop in crime and murder has been even more pronounced and dramatic than in other cities over the last 25 years.
Carribeans and & African nationalities makes up about 25% or less. The drop in crime is due to policing , community, and criminals changing their methods & probably less rivals to deal with. My opinion here.

Reason: Misspelled word
It's crazy to think some cities are hitting all time records....anyone else think this period is starting to remind them of the 90s? This time however, there's no drug epidemic to blame the crime on....so what is it? It's strange though...some major cities are hitting near all-time highs and some cities are hitting all-time lows. It's a strange polarization.
It's the mentality and ignorance of the teenagers in the ghetto now. I lived in the hood a year ago and lived there as a child and teen. These 13-20 year olds are different, they just are. They really are not like we were when we were there age and we were bad, but these kids. They are like aliens, I don't know if it's the medication, or the media but they are off in the head.
Things have hit the boiling point after multiple generations of it breaking down, There has been a complete breakdown of the family unit I mean complete. Everyone has already been incarcerated, killed, moved far away, or is beefing with each other internally. No one trusts, likes, or loves anyone including themselves. There is no community. The gangs are all small splinter groups of wannabes with no organization and everyone is trying to be kingpin. Also transplants, millions of people are fleeing ghettos in large cities and there children bring that same mentality with them to places like Arizona, or Nebraska.
