My theory is related to Ta-Nehisi Coates "The Case for Reparations"-- the shyt is long as hell for a so called "article" but basically, redlining and blockbusting cut middle class blacks at the knees for trying to own homes and build communities-- blacks became transient. Fast forward to today, maybe that had an effect on how territory is viewed and protected.

The music is downright stomach churning disgusting to me

Any song about killing Black people over nothing makes me sick nowadays

So If you're still finding entertainment in this garbage then guess what? You're involved. You're supporting the idea every time you promote that shyt

And what are we looking for here? A super villain with mind control powers or a CIA plot that they say a trigger word and the people go Manchurain candidate?

After like 70 years of this shyt, why we still looking past the actual people as if there's some other mysterious force driving them?

This all has to do with kids who raise themselves gathering into gangs. Since they are 13 they don't know which way is up yet, and they operate in adult world with an uneducated child's mind

IN PICTURES: Scenes From Chicago's Slums In 1954 - The Chicagoist
http://time.com
Life magazine has a powerful gallery of photos depicting life in Chicago’s slums in 1954, right around the time the city began looking at housing projects like Robert Taylor Homes and Cabrini Green as the solution to the squalor and poverty faced by the poor, particularly blacks, in the city at the time.

We all know how that turned out. Cabrini Green eventually became the symbol for everything wrong with public housing in America.

Here, in recognition of the Second City's hard times — and with confidence that it will, as it has in the past, pull itself out of this grim downward spiral — LIFE.com points to a series of photographs made in Chicago in 1954, focusing on what the magazine called the "encroaching menace" of the city's slums. While the language used in the article might sound, for lack of a better term, rather un-P.C. today (describing Chicago's slums, for example, as "23 festering, proliferating square miles aswarm with 800,000 human beings ..."), the focus of the piece was, in fact, the question of how a great, growing American city can transform itself into a liveable place for all of its citizens: a question that cities everywhere have always faced — and likely always will.
