GaraadMon Posted December 30, 2012 It'll take several generations before these hoodlums stop terrorizing their communities. What's worse is that they reproduce at an alarming rate when compared to the average law abiding African-American. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoldNewSomali Posted December 30, 2012 A little off subject, but I wonder what the murder rate has been in Mogadishu since 1990. Even to this day you can get shot and killed with little chance of your killer ever being caught. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raula Posted December 30, 2012 i watched a documentary on PBS sometime back & some tidbits & a special on ABC sometime later this year. I can't imagine living even near that place but some of those caught up in that neighborhood have no choice. On the ABC special some of the gangsters (teenagers & early 20's) mentioned that the place lacks jobs/better schools/crime ridden hence the kids have no choice but resort to lawlessness (apart from coming from broken homes et cetera). Some old-timers/gangsters that did time are now working w/Chi-police & other community organizations to off-set the tragic stats however, even w/a gun ban (which its already in place), the lack of even a meager social-economic structures will only further escalate things.

GaraadMon Posted January 2, 2013 It doesn't seem like things are getting better with African-Americans. The large drops in homicides and drug crimes since the 90's have more to to with an ageing demographic than anything commendable. In fact, the SAT score gap between African-Americans and White-Americans is still increasing. This goes beyond the socio-economic conditions of these neighbourhoods and has more to do with how culture determines a group's reaction to poverty.

Jacpher Posted January 2, 2013 ^Stop inferring this is in the DNA of black folks because it ain't. Chi city is a great place to visit. Been to the south side many times and had good times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorKenney Posted January 2, 2013 It doesn't have anything to do with DNA, since when did anyone infer that? It has to do with culture, especially with so many Black Chicagoans who have a violent gang-mentality. You have these 17 year old kids bragging about how many people they've killed. This seriously needs to be addressed A bad system will destroy a good person 100% of the time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the Blacks of the past who had to overcome real strife and as a result formed strong community bonds and compare them with the ingrates running around today.
