Are homicide rates coming down amongst black men coming down?

Now this is just something I'VE noticed but there seems to be less men being talked about on the news being killed (here in atl). I've also noticed that the rap on the radio today talks way less about beating nikka's up and murking foo's. I've always thought that the music was an x-factor (not the cause) in the killings.

That would be nice.

I'm sure the stats say differently though.

When I turn on my sirus the rap music is extra extra ignorant lately so I'm not sure about that.

The last time I was in Atlanta half the bars and clubs were closed down due to shootings.

2011 was safer than 2001 which was safer than 1991

Boston only has 51 murders so far this year. Each year it seems to go down by a few. Most murders here are black males by gun id say so

Baltimore does even get 200 anymore, DC had like 65 this year last time i checked

San Francisco is in the 40's for the last few years


Most cities are going way down

Yea that devilish music needs to be avoided.
