Black victims of violence are victims of crime committed by black criminals 99.9999 percent of the time, but on the rare occurrence when the perp is white, all of a sudden, there’s outrage. ( even when its not clear that it was a racial crime- like the George Floyd incident.
That simple fact tells you all you need to know about the media, and these “ activist groups”.
Gary, Indiana has a rate of homicides far higher than Chicago. Chicago isn't particularly dangerous in the vast majority of the city and it isn't dangerous for tourists. Most homicides involve gang warfare.
Predictably, only one Republican state (Utah) is in the top ten in life expectancy, as of 2023.
Florida does better than Illinois, which does better than Indiana, but in general the Republican states have the worst, the Democratic the best, and it is not even close.
Chicago is still safer for black people than white people despite it being prone to turning into Chiraq anytime soon. Because it’s safer for black people than whites there are no travel advisories.
You’ve been to chicago once probably. But your media needs you to be outraged.
I’ve been to Chicago at least 20 times in my life…I live about 300 miles away. I used to love traveling there for a 2 or 3 night stay, but I won’t be going back again anytime in the foreseeable future. The last time I was there even the “Magnificent Mile” had become a dystopian hellscape. Empty storefronts, filthy sidewalks, aggressive panhandling, and a generally depressing and oppressive atmosphere. No thanks.
The people who claim that nothing has changed are either stone blind or raving liberal syncopates who are loathe to admit that Democrats are failing the city.
guessing 300 miles north because if you’re from the south you grew up with. Memphis, New Orleans, Altlanta, Little Rock, etc. they’ve always been bad. You guys are snowflakes.
