But you won't name it?All black neighborhoods are not safe and this is coming from a black man
All white neighborhoods are not safe either but I'm black too and have done the math.
Just because you are black doesn't mean you have done the research. I have so let me show you an example.
Last year over 600 people were shot in Chicago. Over 500 died with something like 471 of them being black. Now that's an ugly number and it should be reduced, but its not Beirut. Here's why. There are 889,000 blacks in Chicago. 471 died by shootings. Overall that is less that 1/5.000th of the overall black community in Chicago.
In America if you are black you are far more likely to die from high blood pressure than a violent crime. Now that's not to say that we should stop trying to reduce crime, but that maybe we erase this racist meme about our communities.
I live in a mixed neighborhood which is very safe and quiet.
Well goodie for you.
Never in my life have I heard of a ALL BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD that is safe
I have.
