Whites beaten in Milwaukee. Michigan Avenue in Chicago sees minority mobs.

Quote from wilburbear:

Driving my daughters around, to one "playdate" or another, gets me a view of different Chicago neighborhoods.

Which is why I call Chicago "The Quintessential 20th Century City". Almost call it a 19th century city. A German head of state in the 1880's, on his death bed, said, "I never got to see that old Chicago!" In the 1880's we were one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Stockyards! Rail! Water-way Transport!

Our population was very near its peak in 1920. And a lot of this town is built for 1920. Neighborhoods stretch for tens of miles in all directions. Three story "walk-ups", with the bottom floor occupied by retail shops. As I drove, just today, it honestly seemed 7 out of 8 of those independent retail shops were closed down. Street level is not very pretty. And that reverberates. Many neighborhoods are starting to feel strangely gutted-out, occupied by the rootless, and older men in tank tops with their teeth missing.

My informal study of what survives are services like "Hair and Nails" shops, Palm Readers (seriously), and a few Gyms; stuff you can't buy on the internet and avoid our 10% sales tax. Clothes, travel agents, and electronics shops are gone, and they ain't ever coming back.

Before I bought a mansion in Elmhurst I lived a couple of blocks from Wrigley Field. There were 24-hour diners all over the place and you could get a decent meal anytime with a short walk. I was about a block away from the L.

The bars in Chicago were amazing, the real thing. People there to drink liquor, no froofy cocktails with little umbrellas, just booze and beer and some interesting city folks. I never got in a fight and made a bunch of friends in a short time. I once bought some bay rum cologne that had a little too much clove in it and went into a Northside bar wearing some. After about an hour the bartender shouted "who the hell is smoking clove cigarettes in my bar!". I didn't say a word LOL. :D It ain't Hollywood that is for sure.

My bad attitude came from the culture I encountered at Citadel which was unpleasant to say the least.

Fact is some of my best friends are from Chicago and NYC. They just seem to be able to relate to someone from LA. Good people.

I'll lay off the shit talking about Chicago for now on. I'm over it I guess. Great town, not their fault who does business there. Your stories are very cool. Tell some more if you feel like it.

Detroit was once revered as the "Paris of the Midwest".

He is probably hoping some powder keg goes off somewhere.

I think Obama is looking for some catastrophy or national crisis so he can look like the great leader and benefit from the national unity that would follow such an event.

It really wouldn't even surprise me if he tried to manufacture some sort of crisis in an attempt to declare martial law before November 2012. I believe he really does suffer from a Holier-Than-Thou complex and believes he knows what is best for us.

You're suggesting a politician would manufacture a crisis? No, never.

The white race is the most violent race in the history of the planet.A few black thugs doesn't come close to changing that

True. When it comes down to it, don't fuck with white people. We'll align, we'll organize and then all hell will break loose. A combination of nuclear proliferation and widespread media coverage has probably kept the white man in check over the last 60-70 years, but that ruthlessness is always just under the surface.
 
The Color of Crime

Race, Crime, and Justice in America
Second, Expanded Edition, 2005

Major Findings:

Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
Crime Rates

Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime

Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
Gangs

Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration

Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

While its clear you're a typical republican who looks down on the homeless and the places that give food to our fellow human beings who are hungry I do not
 
If these stats are true then we still have to figure out why they are this way. If we figure out why the blacks and hispanics commit so much crime then we might be able to take some preventative actions rather than reactive actions.
