Do you feel you need to avoid the south side?
No.

I just read some of the post since leaving the topic and it is horrible and it prove my point about Chicago and willful ignorance about race.

YES- Being black in Chicago has thickened in it's negativity to such a point that any intelligent black family would be smart to re-locate and leave the place. From what I understand it that is has become common for black kids to kill black kids..even coming and going from school...If I lived in a place like that- I would say - let it rot and I would at any cost get the hell out of there...save yourself.

Why are you so concerned with Chicago?

Even George Jefferson knew when it was time for a change. :chuckles:

I don't think Chicago is good for any family.

I know of many successful black families who live in the city of Chicago and love it.

Do you know any successful black families in Chicago?
