And in FACT our people had to organize nationwide in the 60’s and 70’s to get full welfare rights. Most white families collected it easily - however you had BS like “father laws” and shyt put out by conservatives in the govt to prevent black mothers from feeding their children.

Hell even in black communities the state denied necessities - WRITTEN INTO LAW, like free stoves and refrigerators specifically to black families nationwide.

I don’t give a fukk what anyone says about welfare - we FOUGHT for that shyt.

All of these “welfare queen” and crime statistics attached to welfare are fukking LIES. The real issue lies at income inequality and lack of access to the same education and economic opprotunity. Fukk anyone outhere wit ya discriminatory racist talking points :pacspit:

The 70s were more violent than now.

So were the 80's. People for get how many bodies was getting piled up in the Crack Era. Not saying loss of life isn't tragic at any time...but Violent crime been trending downwards for about 25 years now. With slight upticks around the housing market crash in 07-08.


Its almost like economics and crime are correlated or something :ohhh:

some great insight in this thread minus the fakkit troll account
I understand that cities like Memphis, New Orleans, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit are more dangerous per capita
But Chicago has a different brand of insouciance in regards to killing & gang banging, there is social media accounts dedicated to keeping track of
all the shooting & murders being committed, and its made local hitters nationwide celebrities in urban areas & i don't see that in other cities

Only reason why Chicago is harped upon is because the quantity of murders relative to other big cities, and it's a democratic liberal city that conservatives can shyt on for failed liberal policies.

I havent read through the thread, so sorry if I'm reposting....

But "Chicago" is merely a buzz from my research. The crime in Chicago, like many cities is heavily concentrated in a small area of the city, there is very little infrastructure, resources, access to employment and corruption from the city.

With that said, Chicago is a buzzword, because crime in the city has historical been dropping for over 20 years despite the facade that the media attempts to depict. I'll drop some links after I finish catching up....

The violence problem used to be worse in Chicago, but if you understand what these pictures represent then you understand the history of modern Chicago; the violence that consumes modern neighborhoods and the reason middle class African Americans moved to the burbs in large numbers, which in turn left near South and near West side neighborhoods vulnerable to gangs.
