The problem stems from single parent homes. Typically a female only parent will raise these type of people. No real role model or man to show these people how to be real men. These men are emotionally charged because they were raised by women.

I agree with education and the issue of single-mother families needing to be addressed. Welfare should always be reviewed, but we can't ignore incarceration rates of young black males. Better schools should divert kids away from the prison system.

The incarceration rate of young black males goes hand in hand with the single motherhood.

They are voting for mayors they think will address the issue. In the future they can go in another direction, but what does the other side have to offer in the inner cities?

That's just the thing, they keep electing these Democrat mayors who promise change, but actually make it worse. What does the other side provide? It's hard to answer that question seeing as the last time there was a Republican Mayor in Chicago was in 1931. Yes, 1931.

2 black teens, 14 and 17, walked past another black man in Chicago last wkd. They snickered, "Dat ni**a tall!". And for that comment on his height, he turned around and blasted these two complete strangers away, ending their young lives in a heartbeat.

Just make the prison a school.

This is so passé now in our weak snowflake culture, but how about mandatory enlistment into the Army for repeat offenders? Or for anyone in the 16-30 age range who commits a crime worthy of a prison sentence, it's either service or prison.

If these youths are lacking structure and discipline, why would anyone object to this?

Double X L magazine had a great story on Chicago

Lol

Fatrick will never live that down, haha

[MMM]

Just make the prison a school.

That is sort of already what happens in the inner city school system

What is OP suggestions to fix the problem???

send all the blacks back to africa..... chicago murder rate would drop like a brick overnight

[Cleverness]

You fix the problem via education and removing/modifying policies that potentially encourage single motherhood... aka... welfare, at least how it is currently constructed... sorry, but it's true. It's not an easy fix and it's not going to change overnight... but those are the two places you start.

However, certain parts of Chicago are so far gone right now that it actually might take a massive show of force to get it to stop... it's going to be a generational battle at this point though.

Yes. Definition two major things we can fix right now (education and welfare state).

A win for education freedom today. 5-4 ruling in favor of school choice.

The biggest thing though is probably culture in the home where the kids come from. Kids who come from homes that value education (and hard work, discipline, etc) do well. Kids who come from homes that do not education do poorly. That's how it's always been and it continues today.


(Btw, for anyone arguing "lack of funding" as the main issue for K-12 education)

47 people murdered by firearm over 4th of July wkd so far in the US. Over half in just these 5 cities.

New York City: 37 injured, 4 killed

Chicago: 63 injured, 17 killed

Baltimore: 8 injured, 1 killed

Detroit: 5 injured, 2 killed

Greenville(rap concert): Eight injured, 2 killed

The BLM movement is having a definite effect stopping cops from killing black men. But is it having a positive effect on black men from getting murdered in general?

[Patrick Chewing]

Bodies keep piling up in Chicago.


Defund the police! They’re clearly the problem.
