I know people who lived in both cities. They said they avoided walking around late at night because they might get beat up and robbed by Democrats. They said the majority of people meandering about and up to to no good during work hours were Democrats. I used to live and work in NYC. Everyday I feared dems. Plus dems being the real racists, I was routinely ridiculed by dems.
Ya’ll were right.

unless you're sitting on the sidewalk with a $1 qp with cheese you should be fine

I was told routinely on GB that dems were the people responsible.

Of course, but it seems BBS thinks otherwise.

Ya’ll are right. I heard all those gun murders in Chicago were by people who vote democrat. Whenever a co-worker tells me he or she voted Democrat, I try to stay away. I don’t know when they’re gonna flip.

You’re right. Every time I get free stuff I feel violent, particularly at Christmas time. Like when my family spoiled me by gifting a sizable amount of money for a payment on my home, I had gone mad!

Are you arguing it's really the dindus? You'd be right there as well.

Averaged 4000 shootings a year in Chicago for years. Then the Democratic mayor said we have to do something. They played stat games putting the shootings into different categories and achieved an instant reduction. From what is known it's overwhelmingly black shooters and black victims. Liberals are silent. Black lives matters is silent. If one Chicago cop shoots a hoodlum every third year there it's all over the news. Look away at the 4000 yearly shootings. A cop shot one criminal for the first time in a couple of years.

See my first post. As I said, I’m from a democratic area. When I was there, every time I saw Democrats I feared for my life.

True. West and Southside only. Urban blight and generational poverty mixed with drugs and no fathers. 75% of the gun murders in Chicago go unsolved cause ain’t no body talkin’ to no poe-lease
Live here, work here and raise a family here. 38 years. Most of Chicago is quite peaceful and very diverse.

Pretty much every dangerous neighborhood in America is a black neighborhood.

The funny thing is some of the safest and happiest cities in America (such as those in Vermont) are also controlled by Democrats. I guess it's easier to blame party policy then accept the realities of race/demographics.

True. Countries like Finland can get away with socialism as well because almost all of their people are smart, productive and moral people. Using the exact same system in the U.S. would be a disaster.

Whenever anyone gives an example of socialist successes, they always give examples of small countries that are home to a small, homogeneous, high IQ and high trust population. Try that in a country with a large and diverse population and things will turn shitty real quick.

Yeah, Finland has like 3 million people all from a homogeneous bloodline where people feel like family and a sense of responsibility to the rest of society. We would just have a bunch of moochers demanding their free stuff and then arguing that they aren't getting as much as someone else.

In that case, who ruined all these red states?

You do realize the South has the highest %'s of blacks, right?

From what I understand those countries are moving to more capitalism because that type of socialist system is getting harder to sustain even though those countries are considered more of a mixed economy.

I know Sweden is definitely going for more capitalism and they also have had the most immigration of the Scandinavian countries.

It's amazing how people who have never set foot in the South will pass judgement on the South. Anyone who's actually been to the South know it has the highest percent of blacks.

This is true. Liberals are annoying but you don’t have to worry about them wacking you over the head from behind.
That said, Vermont has no population growth because of a bad business climate as fostered by Bernie. Whenever someone wants to start a business they go next-door to New Hampshire. Vermont thrives only because it’s absolutely beautiful up there and people tolerate getting raped by the government.

What liberals don’t understand is that these countries created their wealth during a time of limited government and then the welfare state came in. It’s essentially trust fund kids living off the accomplishments of their great grandparents.

Are you suggesting the bulk of U.S. citizens are not productive or moral?

Certain groups more so than others:
Homicide rates by race. (per 100,000 population):
https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/08/10/african-american-homicide-rate-nearly-quadruple-national-average-11680
20.9 for blacks (non-Hispanic)
4.9 for Hispanics
2.6 for whites (non-Hispanic)
-
Pretty much every dangerous neighborhood in America is a liberal democrat one.
Fixed.
And BTW to entertain your original point - how the hell did they get "impoverished"? You can start with Chicago for example - with 80 years under Dem rule??? You would have to blame the demographic if skating around liberal policies as the reason.

I give you this, homicide is at the top of immoral acts.
I'm pretty sure you know that statistics only tell a partial story and can be misleading. People living in poverty feel disenfranchised from those who don't. In Oregon, 8% of whites live in poverty, 25% of blacks and 14% of Hispanics do. Income inequities are considered the most accurate assessment of violent crimes. If the highest percentage of violent crimes per capita are committed by black folks and the highest percentage of black people live in poverty, which is the highest contributing factor? Maybe it is a little of both.

Could you bend over backwards any farther? There have been many statistics that show that there are very poor white areas that don’t have nearly the type of crime that exists in black inner cities. Moreover, American “Poverty” by world standards means living like a king. There is no real poverty in the United States. The median income per capita in Ethiopia is 1k a year. This so called impoverished group you continually defend has the highest obesity rate in the world.
It is possible that you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about as a result of living in the whitest part of the country.
Fixed.

They have a million excuses yet can’t even entertain as possibilities the most obvious reasons: failed policies and a failed culture.

I was born and raised in Georgia. Live in South Florida now.
I think I am qualified to pass judgement on the South. Not that I need to as facts speak for themselves.
-

The only reason New York isn’t a red state is because of blacks and Hispanics (30% of the pop.) who vote 90% Democratic.
Same holds true for Illinois. That’s why Dems are forever kissing black ass.

Same holds true for Illinois. That’s why Dems are forever kissing black ass.
So the blacks and such who make up a significant amount of the population vote 90% Democratic.
The South has the highest percentage of blacks. As stated above.
Therefore, logic would conclude that the South would be Democratic states.
Yet that isn't the case.
-
I know Sweden is definitely going for more capitalism and they also have had the most immigration of the Scandinavian countries.
The Nordic nation's aren't socialist. They actually have very free, open and dynamic market based economies. Which they need to support their collapsing heavy social welfare systems. Sweden tried more of a pure socialist system a couple decades ago....it was a disaster.

Democrat Doug Jones has won the special election to fill a Senate seat in Alabama, according to exit polls and returns – a shocking upset in a solidly Republican state, in which massive turnout among African American voters helped defeat a candidate enthusiastically backed by President Trump. The Associated Press called the race at 10:23 p.m. Eastern time.

Go spend a week in Detroit and Chicago. Walk around. Drive around. Go out and mix with the locals.
After one week in either city, if you don't know what ruined those cities... you might want to enroll in Elementary School again. The answer is crystal clear.
Hint: It ain't the Tigers or the Cubs.

I was just in a Starbucks with a bunch of hipster progressives who vote democrat! I feared for my life. One of them cracked me over the head with his laptop, another with his male purse!
Just last week I went to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I went to a fusion restaurant and a riot broke out over a wrong order! It looked like a tornado of man buns, skinny jeans, sandals, tat sleeves, beards, and screen printed T shirts!
Goddamn Democrats and their high paying jobs and ability to pay exorbitant rents ruined Brooklyn! Plus they’re the real racists!

surprisingly.. i don't disagree with you

Yes, and the black vote is not it. They always vote +90% Dem.
And in the so called red states, all of the most crime ridden cities are predominantly black. NO EXCEPTIONS.

According to the 2010 Census, 343,829 people and 189,896 households lived in New Orleans. Its racial and ethnic makeup was 60.2% African American, 33.0% White,
surprisingly.. i don't disagree with you
If you are familiar with Williamsburg, you know that the hipsters generally hang out in their spots, the blacks in theirs, the Hispanics in theirs. There’s very little intermingling. When there is, it’s usually the smart black guy who works in the Apple store hanging out in a white spot.

https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_current_mayors_of_the_top_100_cities_in_the_United_States
The following table describes the types of government used by America's largest cities. Each type has a different distribution of power and responsibilities between the mayor and the city council. The types of government are:
Strong mayor: The city council serves as the city's primary legislative body, and the mayor serves as the city's chief executive.
Council-manager: An elected city council—which includes the mayor and serves as the city's primary legislative body—appoints a chief executive called a city manager to oversee day-to-day municipal operations and to implement the council's policy and legislative initiatives.
City commission: A city council, composed of an elected mayor and a board of elected commissioners, serves as the city's primary legislative and administrative body.
Hybrid: The city council serves as the city's primary legislative body, and the mayor serves as the city's chief executive. The mayor, however, appoints a city manager to oversee the city's day-to-day operations and to implement city policies.

Lurker and Prime choose to keep their heads in the sand.
Incorrect.
I am pointing out how strange it is to contribute the decay and low quality of life on a class race that votes predominately Democratic while the state they live in are red states under Republican economics/values.
Yes, Detroit is a shithole and the blaques are mostly to blame. But what is the excuse for Texas, Wisconsin, Kentucky?

Many Republicans are almost as clueless economically as Democrats. I’m hearing the shitheads on Fox talking about regulating Google and Facebook. Elizabeth Warren wants to break them up. Not much difference there. Both seem to believe that the Europeans are ahead of us in this regard. If that’s really the case, why is there no European version of Google and Facebook?
What neither understands is that you can’t make laws against one company. They have to be applied to the entire industry. When you do this, you make it harder for a little guys to complete as they have to comply with all these regulations and are at disadvantage to the bigger companies that have the funds to do so. The end result is less competition not more.

Incorrect.
I am pointing out how strange it is to contribute the decay and low quality of life on a class race that votes predominately Democratic while the state they live in are red states under Republican economics/values.
Yes, Detroit is a shithole and the blaques are mostly to blame. But what is the excuse for Texas, Wisconsin, Kentucky?
Texas and Wisconsin are nice places to live EXCEPT for inner cities like Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso and Milwaukee. Who do you think runs those cities? The worst area of Kentucky for crime is Louisville. Who do you think populates Louisville? Eastern Kentucky is very poor but violent crime is rare and this helps prove violent crime is NOT influenced by poverty debunking the belief that black neighborhoods are dangerous because of poverty.

Could you bend over backwards any farther? There have been many statistics that show that there are very poor white areas that don’t have nearly the type of crime that exists in black inner cities. Moreover, American “Poverty” by world standards means living like a king. There is no real poverty in the United States. The median income per capita in Ethiopia is 1k a year. This so called impoverished group you continually defend has the highest obesity rate in the world.
It is possible that you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about as a result of living in the whitest part of the country.
They have a million excuses yet can’t even entertain as possibilities the most obvious reasons: failed policies and a failed culture.
Guess you missed the part where I said, " Income inequities are considered the most accurate assessment of violent crimes."
"Inequality predicts homicide rates “better than any other variable”, says Martin Daly, professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at McMaster University in Ontario and author of Killing the Competition: Economic Inequality and Homicide.

That’s why arguing is pointless. There’s no evidence you can introduce that will have an effect. They’ll just come up with one lame excuse after another.
The poor poverty stricken “Democrats” with their big screens, IPhones and 35% Bodyfat.
It seems you may have this backwards.

No, You do not want to accept the reality that the reason for the inequality is that the people are shit. How come Asians aren’t always bitching about income inequality?
The worst people have the lowest incomes. It’s as simple as that.

The race/ethnicity of known Robbery suspects is primarily Black (67.0%). Hispanic suspects account for an additional (26.5%) of the suspect population. White suspects account for (4.4%) of all Robbery suspects while Asian /Pacific Islanders accounted for (2.0%) of known Robbery suspects.

How was laziness, no parental guidance, and lack of education factored into the equation for the Dindus?

It’s not. The only reason for the inequality is THE WHITE MAN.
-
Yes, without the white man Earth would be a Garden of Eden with the technology of Wakanda and peace & harmony everywhere.
-
Ya know how some excuse dindus for their behavior (eg, poverty, fatherlessness, lack of guidance)? I will wonder if they would accept those excuses for harm to their kids or own loved ones.
Junior: “Dad, I just got beat up by three kids and they stole my money while I was walking home from school!”
Cuckdad: “Son, were they dindus?”
Junior: “Yes.”
Cuckdad: “Oh, it’s OK, son. Let’s excuse them for your broken eye socket, let alone the chance you could’ve died! They’e poor.”

San Antonio is also the only city with a AAA credit rating. I think the Council manager type of government influenced that.

Maybe it is that the majority of crimes are committed by white people because whites are the overwhelming preponderance of people living in the U.S.
As of July 2016, White Americans are the racial majority. African Americans are the largest racial minority, comprising an estimated 12.7% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans are the largest ethnic minority, comprising an estimated 17.8% of the population.[8] The White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 61.3% of the nation's total, with the total White population (including White Hispanics and Latinos) being 76.9%.

This may or may not be an accurate statistic. It is still a small number of people. Somewhere around 80% of violent crimes are committed by folks between the ages of 16 and 19. Males commit 88% of violent crimes.
Interestingly, About 80% of the victims of violent crimes are blacks and males.
