You see, you can blame it on a lot of things, but the bottom line is, black people (mostly young black men/women in these hoods. Not the ones trying to do right) start listening to more Bill Cosby and less Tupac, then these issues won't go away. A cultural change is needed in the black hood but people like Rev Al and JJ will continue to tell them that they are victims because that's easier and gets more agreement, less controversy.
You must have never heard about Meth? Poor white people love that drug and with it comes plenty of violence in its own way.

You can try and pretend it is just skin color, but there are plenty of young black men out there that aren't committing crimes.

Being a young black man does not equal high crime, that is nothing more than a racial assumption on your part.

Update; just another weekend in Chicago with 50 getting killed this time. They're getting better at it. At this rate just stand back, erect a no-go zone and the problem should take care of itself.

Actually they are getting worse at it, the numbers are down at this point in the year compared to the last few years.

No idea huh......The following is an excerpt from The Color of Crime.

*Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
*When Blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-Blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
*Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the White rate.
*The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is Black and Hispanic.

Feel free to post more liberal biased lies. I have an entire folder with bookmarked factual articles just for cases like this.

I take that as confirmation of my hypothesis; they're either running out of ammunition or potential victims.

And Blacks are far more likely to be unemployed, poor, come from single parent homes, less likely to own a business, more likely to drop out of school, join gangs. Have you ever asked WHY?


By the way, The Color of Crime was written by a man who is the founder and editor of a White supremacist website, and espouses scientific racism. I would look for a less biased person to get your sources from.

White people commit plenty of crimes. But, when it comes to gun violence, a vast majority is black on black.
From a safety standpoint, where would you rather live, a white trash trailer park or the hood on the south side of Chicago?

"Have you ever asked WHY?"

Yes, and here's why:
In the poor black culture, there's no shame in having multiple children from multiple men, never getting married, not having a father figure around, dropping out of school, living on welfare, etc. etc.

Despite the constant media battering Chicago gets, it's per capita (per 100,000 residents) crime rates are roughly the national average. NYC is actually well below the national average. But... facts don't mean anything.

Exactly. It's all about the agenda. Don't talk about guns! Talk about black people! Look! Over there! Chicago! (Which I believe is also a thinly-veiled racist dig at Obama.)
