One thing that completely galls me is how upset blacks are with any and all things Confederate because over 150 years ago, their ancestors were held as slaves by some of the whites (about 25%) in the Confederacy. In addition, they are really against the police for all the blacks they have killed (most of whom were involved in criminal activity at the time).
I typed in Chicago Murders into Google Search and came across a website called "Hey Jackass! Chicago Murder, Crime and Mayhem. Illustrating Chicago Values."
I find the weekly and daily accounts of shootings and murders in Chicago alarming and extremely sad. The city is much more dangerous than Afghanistan, especially if you're black. Unfortunately the news reports never break the shootings and murders into race, but noting the neighborhoods and photos of victims, they tend to be black.
Here are the March to Date Stats:
Shot and killed: 43
Shot and wounded: 275
Homicides: 45
The Week in Progress 3/27-4/2
Shot and killed: 5
Shot and wounded: 40
Homicides: 5
Year to Date
Shot and killed: 129
Shot and wounded: 677
Homicides: 147
Most of the victims are black and were shot by other blacks.
Police involved shootings 2016: 2 killed and 1 wounded
Police involved shootings 2015: 9 killed, 16 wounded
In last night's NBC Chicago News, they said there had been 11 shootings and 2 deaths in the previous 24 hours.
Perhaps There Should Be Something of More Importance to the Black Community Than Hatred for All Things Confederate and Police.
