    I can't help who the murderers are. And I never mentioned blacks. Why are you assuming only blacks riot, loot, burn and assault white people?

    Knock it off. Trying to play the race card will not stop the murders in Chicago.

    He doesn't "run the country". We have Federal, State, and Local Governments. Chicago law enforcement is in no way run by Trump. Is is local Government. The crime in Chicago has nothing to do with Trump. These urban hellholes are run by your people. Own it.

    I'm here for more than the lulz.

    Groups like BLM keep blaming white people for the murder of black people. Pointing out that it's demonstrably false is a good thing.

    Sure; there is still systemic racism in the police force, where a black man is considered guilty more quickly than a white man, in the same circumstances. This is not entirely the fault of white people; black people could start taking their communities more seriously and help clean it up. Whitey going into the inner cities where the crime is the worst, would be seen largely as intruders.

    It has to come from within.

    This is an extremely simplistic summary of my views; which are far more nuanced and involve things like education. My point is that it's a relevant topic, regardless of who we are or we we are from. I was born about a mile from the Chicago border, and lived in the area for 33 years.

    Are you claiming you now care about black lives?
    You are now a card carrying member of BLM? LOL.

    Are trying to sell a bridge or land in Fl?

    So now it's my fault Fenatnyl Floyd was a drug addict? I suppose it''s my fault he was also a career criminal and woman abuser.

    You guys make such a big stink about how some people in this country are oppressed and poorly treated, yet you can't even acknowledge the murder problem among the people you say are oppressed and poorly treated.

    And I hope you don't use any of those cute names for Trump that others like to use, that would put you in the same racist boat with me. But we all know its' different when the left does it.

    I agree, he doesn't run the country.
    That's a reason he got voted out. He didn't care or lead the country.

    Unlike the blm racists, I care about the lives of all Americans. But perhaps you'd like to stop diverting the subject of this thread and comment on the murders in Chicago, why they're happening and what can be done to stop them. Blaming Trump, me, or the man on the moon is not a solution, it's a refusal to accept the murders, who is committing them and where they're taking place.

    It might be a relevant topic. But that's not the point of the OP.

    I was slow on the uptake, but it has been revealed. If the topic was relevant, solutions would have been offered.
    But it's really a whine fest for white people to yell but but but black people.

    I would say things like education and money are the main reasons for the lives of black people in inner cities.

    Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a global humanitarian organization that is present in the US, UK, and Canada. It promotes all kinds of initiatives aiming to include the black people in society, educate and empower them about their rights and make the daily injustices that they go through visible.

    Its mission is to Eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.

    Components of the mission statements:
    Eradicate white supremacy: It means that they fight to end with the racist belief that white people are superior or better than the rest of the races justifying dominance over them.https://mission-statement.com/black-lives-matter-blm/

    I don't see the blame on white people.
    But do have a concern for white supremacy. Which as ticked up in the last 12 yrs or so.

    But but but it IS black people, something you seem to want to ignore all while screaming about how poorly they’re treated. Are you now going to say facts are racist?

    Fentanyl Floyd. That's awesome. Not sure why it would say anything about your color. I guess if anyone says anything negative about that miserable excuse for a human then they are racist. Probably says more about the accuser of said racism.

    Of course not.

    If there's no point to a thread, then any and all posts in said thread needs no point either. Correct? It just for fun then.

    BS. No one buys that.

    But given the benefit of the doubt.

    What is your proposal to lower the murder rate in Chicago?
    And why isn't it in your OP?

    Aggressive stop and frisk
    Aggressive gang laws and enforcement
    Aggressive arrests for all crimes
    Aggressive street patrolling
    Aggressive prosecutions
    Aggressive jail sentences
    Bring back the death penalty and quickly use it in cases where there is no doubt, zero, of the defendant's guilt. The DP will be a deterrent if the condemned is put to death while people still remember who he is.
    Zero tolerance for bad behavior and disrespect in school, shape their minds while they're young

    People might not commit so many crimes if they really and truly believed they'd be caught, prosecuted and sent to jail. Of course, everything I mentioned will be fought tooth and nail by the left.

    Entertainment.
    If you read, I have stated I don't care about what's going on in Chicago. You likely read that response of mine.

    People literally were pulled out of their cars and beaten because they were white, Did your news channel not cover that or show the videos?
