Chicagos homicide rates are higher than they've been in 13 years

My point was that violence in the inner city increased during the Obama era, not talking about the 90's or 80's


Now before you hit me with that "this bigger than Obama!" Nonsense, keep in mind that's what you quoted by me and chose to respond to, you hopped in this voluntarily
Are you sure about that stat? Chicago was averaging 600+ homicides well into the 2000's in the Bush Era. But only 400+ and 500 in the Obama Era. Maybe the per capita homicide rate went up because the overall population of Chicago dropped?

Im starting to see that.

Todays rap has a lack of variety and is mostly gangsta rap in which most lyrics are referencing killing other black people.

Add that onto black leaders being absent these days which has these young kids looking up to rappers as role models.

We need to bring black power back into rap.

Bu bu but black power raps are boring and have no swag. We need turn up shyt to make thots dance.

You don't know what is going on in the house! I'm one of those people you are talking about. It looks cool on the outside, but the inside is painful. It's a mix of the elders not being there emotionally, and society just being fukked up to blacks, to wanting money to get what YOU(not your parents) want, and peer pressure because if you grow up around people who are worse off then you, it will effect you.

To me, a lot of young people are hurting, but don't know it, so violence, and getting high is how they deal with it. What kept me from losing it, was my knowledge of who I am in this society, and also loving knowledge, so I was able to see things for what they truly are, instead of what I was being told from elders, and society.

I also believe stress is being passed down through our genes, and because we haven't dealt with the pain since slavery, it is building up to what we see today for certain groups of us. The alcohol, and the drugs, just bring the issues out.

"Wanting money to get what YOU want" and "peer pressure" are the biggest culprits in many areas. Those two things boil down to parenting and this society.

I love what you said about the stress being passed down in genes. I believe a study was done on something like that with lesser organisms.

The youth need direction from those who can actually give it. Black parents took a short cut on responsibility with the motto, "Do as I say, not as I do". And that doesn't fly.

Of course we can reach the root of bad parenting by going back to crack epidemic, Jim Crow, and slavery, but my point is...once a wound has gangrene you must cut it out. Or it will infect the good tissue.

Just got finished watching the Jeffersons. :salute: to that c00n/cac lover George.

I never hear you say anything but shyt like"it whites fault" or "let's kill that cac"and ask the same question back someone asked you on some fake mind tricks.

I just gave about 3-4 solution in the post you quoted and you still haven't gave one.

What arguement is it to destroy? I basically said comply w/ authorities is the best bet to be safe in these streets and school. Then I post articles and quotes from black parents, then your ghost.

I gave first hand knowledge of bad school environments and what goes on. But cause I don't post for daps I'm white.

But all your Coli cash and your rep that I'm white.


It took my six months to find a job. It was a full time job just looking for a job breh.

Not once ski I think it was a good idea to pick up a gun.

When I lived in NY my first job commute was an hour and a half away. To a grocery store where I was paid under the table.

Going with the thread I do think music is a ig factor. During high school music good or bad) influenced every fiber of my being(talk, clothes, shoes, crowd etc.) if anything changing that is a start. I don't know what I can actually do but raise my kids a den encourage younger family members not to fall for the trap. And hope the helpless psychopaths die off.

I do know one thing, complaining, blaming white people then demanding things from them, all while worshipping violent hypnotic music is t the way to go.

Educate the ones closest to you and always be willing to help those who want change.

What's your solution?
Boycott the corner stores that sell the worst of the worst to the community. And endorse urban farming solutions brought about by groups like the NOI. The South Side of Chicago has alot of Urban Prairies where urban agriculture may be able to be achieved. Stop blindly voting for the same politicians, and push for healthier food options in the hood. And actually utilize the few pro-black community options provided by the neighborhood activist. Like if there's a Black Vegan place, use it. Not everyone has the transportation means to travel out of the city like that though, like you traveled an hour and a half away...

From photos I've seen, this seems true. I've seen pictures of neighborhoods in Chicago like the far South Side, that literally look like rural Southern towns. Parts of Chicago literally look like Rural Southern towns. Especially Chicago neighborhoods with an abundance of "Urban Prairies" where it'd be a desolate field/lot with grass growing out of it, and than 2 or 3 shotgun-homez inbetween. Some of those Chi-Town neighborhoods look desolate and isolated, and segregated from the rest of the city, and resemble 1950's era Mississippi towns. I need background info on this.
The far sside before it became 'hood' was where people with a little money moved to and the housing stock reflects that

Also The city is strict when comes to tearing down board ups.

Unlike somewhere like Baltimore for ex. Where a boarded up building can be up for years and years, chicago otoh tears it down sooner so it doesn't become another trap house

which explains why there are do many urban Prairies in poor neighborhoods bc of population loss and strict city ordinances in regards to board ups and abandoned buildings

Plus a lot formerly dense ghetto slums are gentrified so most of these shootings and killings are away from the lights of downtown.

No doubt, but my thing is how do we do it? Lets be real, black women control the hoods, and don't like you to tell them when they are wrong, especially when it comes to their children, and you are a man who isn't wearing a suit, go to church, and not acting feminine. If we can't get the women to work with us, they will just make the kids see us as the enemy. I been through that shyt already, and I ain't going back:to:

Edit: I forgot I did read about PTSD being passed down through the genres in humans. Check the article:
Dad had PTSD? You may inherit susceptibility - Health & Fitness
Scientists suspect that trauma causes epigenetic modification of our genes - which can be passed onto the kids.

Phobias may be memories passed down in genes from ancestors

Is PTSD in your genes? - CNN.com

Yeah and you wrote a bunch of BS :pachaha:

Blacks who don't commit crime know its wrong and Blacks who do commit crime know it wrong, so who are we bringing awareness to?

You think some murderer is going to go, "Damn they don't like it when I shot up their neighborhood? I didn't know that :ohhh:"

shyt s disgusting. As I said before gangs are anti black and serve white supremacy to be honest. They only care about themselves. The only solution is the majority of us resposible black folk to form self defense miltias and crack these gangs down. Gangs,drug dealers are against black empowerment and black advancement. If gangs started a guerilla campaign to kill cops I would be behind that but killing your own is dumb as shyt.

These black women and black men of these kids need to be held responsible for their kids actions... ( if u can find the parents)

But u going to continue to hear from black leaders who don't want to hurt their image put the blame on others instead of on these bad kids parents

They are teens/young adults, not babies. How many teens listen to what their parents say all of the time? I think they should take more responsibility than their parents unless their parents are also gang affiliated. Parents can't force teens to do anything. & after a certain age (if you read child development books) people are more influenced by their peers, friends, the media and their experiences than their parents. Parents can do things to try to help them, but the person has to want that help, accept that help.

Another problem is the gun laws. Chicago got strict gun laws but all the states surrounding it got lax gun laws. So you can have somebody in Indiana go to a gun show buy you a couple of gats sell it for profit. Plus alot of whites and law enforcment get involve in inter state weaposn trafficking.

I tried that, and got shytted on. Maybe I was too blunt, but its who I am, if I can't be me how can I tell you my story?

I really don't know how to get through to people who don't want to hear you, unless you stroke their ego like the church does.
