Chicago suffering social meltdown

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chicago magazine suffers from poor math skills.  599.65 per 100,000 is not “one in 200″ but one in 167.

Gun laws are beside the point. The tony Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park could have the same laws as gun-friendly Vermont and it would still be extremely safe. What Chicago is suffering from is not a random citywide phenomenon, but a specific, highly concentrated one.

Overall, according to Chicago magazine, the rate of nonfatal gunshot injury in Chicago was 46.5 per 100,000 from 2006 to 2012. But it was only 1.62 per 100,000 for whites. For blacks, it was 112.83 per 100,000. For black males, 239.77, and for black males aged 18-34, 599.65, or “a staggering one in 200.”

A study by sociologist Andrew Papa- christos shows that the shootings overwhelmingly occur among a small network of criminal offenders.

      Why is it these surveys contain evidence of black verses white when we know that whites are more priviledged in this country,so to help explain myself is that all men and women want to work at a decent job for decent pay and raise a good family where love and respect are part of the family home and community,on the street and in church.This is a know brainer because with this middleclass lifesyle girls will be picking through magazines looking at closes to make them attractive in finding a boyfriend who has certain traits of her father who she loves and has respect for.Now the boys are hitting the weights beefing up to gain a certain amount of confidence to ask that special girl out that he has had a crush on for months if not years.
      This human behavior is not limited by colour because both think this way and it is a good healthy comunity to live in but look at what has happened.
      Job’s get shipped oversea jobs that are left go to mostly white communities.Economics stresses out families causing devorce,social breakdown,despair,drug use,more despair,drug dealing for income to support family causing street gangs and more despair,the church has been replaces by the gun,drug overdose,more despair,know future more despair,sign up to fight people in there country causing death and despair,coming home and seeing it getting worse ,commit suicide more despair.Whens it all going to end.
