Is Milwaukee to Chicago what Philly is to New York?

Let this sink in

lot of scammers up there, pimping/trafficking, its not a good city to settle down in if you not from there

Milwaukee was named the worst major city for African Americans. Terrible schools, excessive policing, high incarceration. I could go on & on

Damn . That’s so disheartening to read. So there’s not any affluent black area there ?

It’s been known as one of the worst metros for Black people for years now. Just a few months ago a worker at the Miller’s beer Plants killed several of his coworkers over racism.

Not really. Not saying it’s not black folk doing well up there but the vast majority of blacks in Milwaukee are poor and live in some of the worst neighborhoods I’ve ever seen

I see what you're saying--but I don't think it really works that way.

I don't think people look at NYC and say "Hey if it weren't for NYC, Philadelphia would be the country's financial, cultural and diversity capital"...anymore than they would say Boston would. I don't think philly would necessarily, automatically just adopt that "gravitational pull" if NYC didn't exist tomorrow.

Philly is not a "mini NYC", the landscape, the people etc is just entirely different. I don't see Philly having the second largest population on the east coast along with being 100 miles from NYC as some sort of qualifier. I honestly couldn't tell you who would be next in line between Philly, Boston, Jersey City or Newark.

Man most people don’t realize that the 2 cities are so close together.

Need a pro team to be relevant. I mean pro football or basketball. Having a pro soccer/hockey team don't count. Plus we need to build something in honor of all the funk and soul music that came out of ohio for the culture. People think it's cacville. Not realizing Ohio Players, George Clinton, Bobby Womack , Bootsy Coolins and all that shyt was coming out of ohio back in the day. We were to funk what New York was to hiphop at one point.

George Clinton from New Jersey & Detroit

Maaaan, this post is 100% on point. Dayton alone has a lot of history with funk music.

Facts.

Zapp, Lakeside, Heatwave, and all them cats from Ohio too

Dude, when I heard that shyt, I was like, "What them cacs do to that dude"

Turns out it was a LOT

They were putting nooses in his locker and fukking with that man for like a decade.

Not gonna say I agree with what he did.
