I'm not trying to argue this point with you, and I'm not claiming you are wrong, but I'm wondering if you have some stats or anything to back this up, or if it just your opinion or assumption.
Majority White Cities in Eastern KY have higher murder rates than NY, Chicago, LA
Intelligent Readers Beware, this is not a racist thread.
There's been many claims by posters and by some in public that crime in this country is due to race. This thread's only intention is to dispel that notion...
While we're at it, I think we also need to dispel the notion that men are taller than women. After all, WNBA players are taller than most men.
Thus, the myth of male height superiority is disproved.
And, not to make this into a seasonist thread, but the idea that temperature is about season does not hold up to scrutiny either.

Bellingham, Wash., for example, saw a high of 60 in the first week of the
year, while the mercury soared to a balmy 44 in Fargo, 61 in New York City, 72
in parts of Colorado and 79 in Tucson.

There's been many claims by posters and by some in public that crime in this country is due to race. This thread's only intention is to dispel that notion and to allow us to get to the root problems of our high murder rates. It's definitely an area we could improve in.
What can be done to solve our crime issues? I won't even begin the thread with an agenda.
In addition to Eastern KY, Western KY has had some violent times as well. Little Chicago had murder rates in the 60's with rates of over 50 per 100,000.
What are the real reasons we have such high murder rates in this country? What can we do to solve the issue?
Whoa scraping the bottom of the barrel there with a 20 year old article to prove a point.
When we try to solve social problems we have to remove race from the equation it is just a distraction IMO. Those mountain areas and inner cities have a lot in common which make them unsuitable places for healthy communities to thrive.
Actually, there are more dangerous, more messed up places than Chicago, even here in America. New Orleans, highest murder rate in the nation, extremely corrupt, high poverty rate.
