Chicago sounds like a big ass experiment...
yeah a Haitian breh.
Chicago, New Orleans and Harlem are the 3 places in America that give me the same feeling I feel when ever I visit somewhere in Africa.

My nikka the Rock is dangerous asf, real talk. I'd call west Rockford one of the grimiest places in the US period, it aint even safe taking out the trash.
But you got dangerous cities all over Illinois. the chi, harvey, maywood, east st louis, rockford, chicago heights etc...
What's happening in Chicago is what happens in a lot of African countries. It's a box of chaos orchestrated by you know who.

I recently moved to Chicago (Logan Square) and haven't seen any of this chaos, at least in person. I've been doing a fair amount of walking the last couple weeks to get a feel for the area and tbh I haven't felt unsafe, even at night. So many random dope restaurants and things to do 
One thing I noticed is how segregated the city is on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. Demographics where I'm currently at seems to be mostly mexicans and hipsters but less black people, at least compared to other parts of the city.
But I was on the southside for a week-long orientation and there's a decidedly different feel there, I can't quite describe it. The whole place (at least the area I was in) seemed bombed out and neglected on a governmental level. Even tho it was in the middle of the day and relatively quite, you can't shake the feeling that something might pop off at any minute. There's something ominous about ordering your popeyes thru bulletproof glass and turnstiles.
My experience so far has been legit tho

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
People may clown New York about having low crime but thank God we don’t have those Chicago problems. Yeah we have shooting here and there but at least it’s not like Chicago were low level genocide is occurring.
Secondly this proves the point that the black community is in total chaos. White supremacy has done a number on our people. And at the same time shaming these gang members must be done. They are an arm of white supremacy. They have no racial solidarity whatsoever. All they care about is making money. There has been so many examples of people from the hood who didn’t join gangs and made the right choices in life. They chose to pick up a gun and start shooting at their oops even when crowds are outside. That is savagery because children and women get hit in the cross fire.

carribean black countries aren't any better
Violence is a big part of the culture. And that is part of the problem.
This is very true especially when the towers were up
But a lot of these shootings is due to CPD bullshyt. I hate blaming the people when the CPD is a white supremacist organization

Free the guys
Imean rip and that sucks but this shyt happen damn near every weekend in Baltimore and no one talking about it.
Not to mention Balt population as a whole like one neighborhood of Chi.

Actually you may be right. Lead poisoning is prominent in low income housing because feds don’t care to replace the pipes. Definitely leads to increase aggression and violence.

Exactly. Only a brainwashed c00n would believe this is just black folks killing each other.
There is definitely a mercenary army in Chicago right now killing black people while the media pretends its black on black gang violence.
This is NOT black on black violence. Its white on black violence like its always been in this country.
