ozimoron Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Crime is all about socioeconomic conditions in the main. How did a large city with a large black population become a hotspot for crime? And for decades? Oh, I know. Decades of unequal opportunity driven by racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked in black neighborhoods before, so I've seen their racism first hand. Hate crimes were very prevalent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Trump and the location of Chicago smack dab in the middle of "MAGA Country"! Quote Politics in Chicago through most of the 20th century was dominated by the Democratic Party. Organized crime and political corruption were persistent concerns in the city. Chicago was the political base for presidential nominees Stephen Douglas, Adlai Stevenson II, and Barack Obama, who was nominated and elected in 2008.

Unfortunately, most of the hate seems directed at other black people. Crime as a whole does not cross racial boundaries very much. The majority of black crime victims are victimized by black criminals. Same with white folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's a culture thing, or a proximity thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
