According to the Census Bureau’s 5-year American Community Survey, Chicago is still a mostly racially segregated city. In order for Chicago to achieve full integration, 81% of the African-American population would have to move and spread out across the city, said the report.
African-Americans are not the only group that tends to live in mostly segregated neighborhoods. The study also concluded that Asians usually live in mostly Asian communities.
Maps associated with the study indicated that Illinois is 71.9% White, 14.7% African-American, 4.2% Asian, and 0.2% Native American and Alaska Native.
Since the federal government does not consider Hispanic a race, white Hispanics are counted with Whites and Black Hispanics are included with African-American population statistics.

So, 14.7% african-american and this small % is committing all this crime in Chicago? That must mean in the entire state. There are at least 39% african-american in the city alone, from different statistics I've seen. I wonder how many african -americans actually fill out the census? They don't get that when you DON'T fill out the census, the city and the state don't get as much federal help and the african-americans use up most of the freebies in the city to begin with and still don't think it's enough. The % of crime being committed by the african-americans in the city is really the reason Chicago stays segregated. Who wants ghetto thugs living by them? Not me. I want people living by me who abide by the laws of the land and contribute to the community, no matter what color they are. Ghetto thugs are not on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteInteresting information, more interesting from the descriptions of the criminals on the police report many of the African males like to venture of of their neighborhoods to commit crimes. They seem to like lincoln park , Wrigleyville ,Edgewater.
ReplyDeleteAll the black people where I live are very nice. My building must be at least half black. I have not noticed any crime or any problems. They say hi in the halls and hold the door for me, and im a guy. I think many of them are decent legal african immigrants.
ReplyDeleteI live on the north side though. I would NEVER go to the south side.
African booty scratchers are mostly ok if not fucking annoying.
