Majority of the cities with so high numbers population be under 350,000 and financially poor

Only 4 of the Top 10 and 7 of the Top 20 cities are less than 350,000. These are mainly cities with sizable populations...

Where I will agree is that these are mostly cities that struggle economically...

The other sobering trend is that the Top 8 cities, which are all over 40 homicides per 100,000, are all over 43% black. It's ammo for people who stereotype cities as the blacker they are, the more violent they are...

The truth is artificial scarcity aka poverty aka state violence.

Chicago has about 86 less homicides than nyc & l.a. combined & it’s significantly smaller in size & population than both
Chicago hasn't went through gentrification like other cities yet. Most segregated city in America. You can still find a crib for $800 in the hood. I'm sure that does not exist in NYC or LA.

Been watching that George Chidi YSL case some damning things said about Atlanta

Basically painted as a city great for in-movers but terrible for native black Atlantans where black Atlantans have some of the lowest rates of social mobility in the country meaning being born poor in Atlanta likely means dying poor in Atlanta.

Bro the image Atlanta has sold black people for generations is just that, an image built from lying by omission...

Have you ever been to Atlanta? This isn't shocking in the least if you've spent time in the city. Wakanda doesn't exist in Anerica but to the extent it does, it's embarrassing that different people have portrayed Atlanta as being such...

Most of the benefits of being black in Atlanta means being able to partake the events and entertainment in the city and going home to live in the suburbs, rather than living in the city. Most black people who live in the city aren't enjoying the events abd entertainment because they can't...

One thing I'm a believer in, is that the best cities for black people, aren't super violent. Every city has its hot areas and spots but a city like Memphis being 65% black is irrelevant when it has a homicide rate approaching 50...

New York will always be an elite city for us because it's not overrun with violence, among many other appealing attributes for us. Same thing with Los Angeles, Sacramento, Raleigh, Virginia Beach, and a few other places...

This isn't the only criteria for being a good city for black people, not close, but to me the violent crime rates in a city matter. I can't champion cities as good for US, and we are the highest demographic dying at an abnormally high rate...
