"The national crime rate peaked in 1991 at 5,856 crimes per 100,000 people, and has generally been declining ever since. In 2015, crime fell for the 14th year in a row. Estimates based on preliminary data for 2016 indicate that the overall crime rate will remain stable at 2,857 offenses per 100,000, rising less than 1 percent from 2015. Today’s crime rate is less than half of what it was in 1991."
Excerpt: Toddler shot in killed in Chicago, day after President Trump sends letter to Chicago mayor urging action on violence
Response:
5 children under the age of 10 shot in Chicago in a approximately a one week period.
The racist President Donald Trump offers to advise and help Chicago but the politicians refuse.
Who are the true racists?
So, is "racist" a word that everyone is using in everything they say now ?
Looks like President Trump sent suggestions on making Chicago have a safe summer, but Chicago politicians didn't listen to President Trump when it comes to appropriately addressing the recent violence so they can implement programs to have a safe Chicago summer.
President Trump has done a terrible job on COVID-19 but I think it's wonderful he sends letters addressing his serious concern for violence in places like Chicago that were beacons of prosperity before.
The mayor of Chicago does nothing but use profanity like a drunk sailor, that is all she does is give her angry speeches full of some.
It's evident that the mayor of Chicago has severe anger issues because she loves to get on the phone and cuss out of the alderman.
I think President Trump's response on COVID-19 has been terrible but his letter on Chicago violence is exactly correct.
COVID-19 has showcased the 4th stage moral cancer of many of America's previously great cities.
There has been justice in Minneapolis because the police officer is in jail facing charges that if he is proven guilty in a jury trial carries penalties of a very, very prison sentence.
Amazing, how when toddlers and babies are victims of violence in Chicago people just shrug and ignore it and anyone who wants justice for innocent babies and toddlers is considered a snitch.
Just more proof that you can’t control the actions of individuals. You can’t control outcomes. The only way to get what you want is no blacks and whites living in the same country.
Chicago is just an easy scapegoat. The people complaining about violence in Chicago don't even live here. Or care for the people here.
Individual black people born into America have zero responsibility to correct social issues that affect their communities before demanding their rights be secured and not violated by the government.
Black on black crime is totally irrelevant; if I am an individual black person it would be absurd to tell me I can’t complain about the police harassing my community and violating my rights because some other people in my community engage in *whatever* behavior.
Ask them to imagine themselves being born into a situation where not only do they have to face greater threats from people in their community (it is a fact that there is a disproportionate amount of black on black crime) but they’re being abused by the government as well. Ask them to imagine how ridiculous they would find it if they then petitioned the white majority to fix the police abuse and they were told something like “you really need to fix the intraracial violence in your community first.” They would rightly be bewildered, pointing out that *that’s not my ****ing responsibility. Don’t ****ing tread on me.*
With that one sentence you just summarized what BLM stands for. They (BLM and its supporters/far left) DO NOT care about ALL black lives lost, only the ones which earn political points for the Democrats. Well done!

Yes, everything is about money. All society is about that. This should have been considered when America drew up its original plans.
No President has been able to solve Chicago's crime problems. That is a local problem, and Chicago has always been a rough city, back to the beginning. As bad as this is, Chicago isn't the worst. Memphis is much worse. It too has always been a rough city. Memphis frequently had higher murder rates in the 1910s than Chicago has now.

How does that stop black on black crime?
Last weekend a three-year old. Last night a one-year old.

What do white people have to do with this?
Said person is conveying this message: "Nothing can be done to stop Black on black crime, so Blacks should just be kept away from everyone. Blacks aren't equipped to live in non-Black places". Said person has been pushing the narrative of "Black inferiority" for a while. I think it's a sad thing to push.
