BTW, why is Obama's old stumping ground, Chicago, an NA?

CONSPIRACY!!11

Is this real? 8/10 people in Detroit are black?

It's called "white flight" for a reason. They all left the city proper, to the burbs.

 

[pray4mojo]

woot. negative number.

 

[TuxDave]

I'm pretty sure Camden still has the warning sign before you enter : "Danager, high fatality rate".

I sure as hell made double sure not to have any classes at the Rutgers Camden campus for fear of getting shot.

 

[Anonemous]

Wow, didn't know Westminster/Garden Grove/Anaheim was that safe...

If you needed drugs, you wouldn't go to Saint Louis to get them. Not as whitey.

Yea.. you'd go across the river, drive through east st. louis (or around it if you dont have the balls) and head into Belleville. That's where you buy the drugs from rich white kids.

Detroit is rated safer than I expected.

That's because there's no one left in Detroit to rob.

Yea, you can actually see the white flight on the map near St. Louis. Taxes are all around cheaper on the illinois side of St. Louis. If you look at Belleville, the suburb town just passed East ST. Louis, it literally has the longest main street in the world (not longest street, just street named 'main street'). If you were to leave Belleville West high school (the high school that had the famous bus beat down a few months ago), and drive to St. Louis, you'd get there quicker than if you started at the farthest west point of main street and drove to the other side.

Anyways, you can see how Belleville grew away from East St. Louis, its like a long straight line AWAY from the area. At the far end is predominantly white, smaller suburb towns like Shiloh, OFallon, etc.

I'm posting this from downtown St. Louis. I saw a guy get stabbed a few weeks ago from my window.

I live in #5, Town of Ramapo.

The high schools have some wanna-be thugs who are actually just suburban idiots mostly transplanted from the Bronx (they're mostly harmless), but other than that, it's a pretty safe and good place to live.

EDIT: #7, Clarkstown, is next to our town. Another relatively quiet place.
Rockland County as a whole is a decent place to live.

There's probably cities in Iraq that are nicer than Detroit

 

[The Stig]

Surprised Hartford is as bad as it is, although things have been getting much worse. Glad I left the area for Vermont... we, as a state, are excluded from the list because everyone knows VT is a winter wonderland where crime does not exist.

Detroit and Flint, like twins, they never far from catastrophe.

you're a fucking idiot.

Races in Camden:

* Black (53.3%)
* Hispanic (38.8%)
* Other race (22.8%)
* White Non-Hispanic (7.1%)
* Two or more races (3.9%)
* Vietnamese (1.6%)
* American Indian (1.2%)



pretty compelling IMO.

What would be more compelling is if you listed the incomes of the people in those areas.
Guess what? In low income/high density areas crime is higher. The question is why are the low income people overwhelming minorities?

 

[ussfletcher]

Woot! Detroit and Flint! Not letting me down


Detroit is statistically the 'blackest' city in America, and Livonia (32nd on list) is statistically the 'whitest'... they are in close proximity.

 

[Jadow]

I doubt its because they don't have opportunities. Most companies try like hell to hire minorities. And ya know, the public schools aren't nearly as bad as people think.

I think it's because they can't keep it in their pants and have to fvck like jackrabbits in their teens, we've got women with kids by multiple guys, etc... Then they drop out and condem themselves to a life of shlt. And the cycle repeats itself with their kids.

You throw everything else out, schools, jobs, etc... if minorities could just keep it in their pants and have proper families, I think in 2-3 generations, this disparity would be gone. Over half of black children were born out of wedlock.

I live in Jackson, MS. So this doesn't surprise me much.
Our last mayor was indicted on civil rights charges for getting a bunch of teenagers to tear down a crack house. The problem was the house was rented to the "alledged" crackheads so the owner sued the city. Our moronic city council just got done paying for a couple of the ex-mayor's bodyguard's legal bills. We can't send our kids to public schools so if you live in the city limits you better have an extra 5 grand around a year.

I lived in Clinton (borders Jackson) during the Melton years. Ahh, quality entertainment that one was. Every night the news would consist of three sections: Action (the daily murders, robberies, etc.), Sports and Comedy (news regarding the mayor).

 

[ussfletcher]

The schools in Detroit are not places you would want your children to be. Besides the other dangerous kids, drugs, gangs, etc.. They look like they have been bombed, with ceilings collapsing and broken heating.

Not surprised orange county takes 3 out of the 10 spots.

Sometimes I think that if some country did actually bomb Detroit, or if some natural disaster like an earthquake would destroy the city, people would actually give a damn about Detroit. Detroit needs a Katrina so that Brad Pitt and Bono can act like they care.

Does this mean Michael Moore wasn't lying when he showed how much of a piece of shit Flint is? I think he's shown that in damn near every movie hasn't he? Roger and Me (Flint/Detroit suck after GM left), The Big One (asked the Nike guy to make a shoe factory there), Bowling for Columbine (something about welfare cases?), Fahrenheit 911 (military recruiting poor people in Michigan).

 

[Scrodes]

True story. The local government cleaned everyone out. Nothing is left for the small time criminals

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Hillsboro Oregon #49? This list is borked.

We've had quite a few murders/assualts/kidnappings/robberies lately this past month. People get robbed downtown and the public transportation in the area is a crime breeding ground. I used to live there and it is not safe. I live in a pretty shitty part of Portland now and I'd say it's just about as bad.

Indeed, I mean it's not like the government had to FORCE companies to hire minorities by putting special programs in place. Just to give a scrap of a few bullshit jobs nobody else wanted. Oh wait...

And ya know, the public schools aren't nearly as bad as people think.

Again indeed, public schools are actually great, and the inner city ones are possibly some of the best out there. Yeah, the one I went to in 1992 didn't even have history books and the science books were from 1980. But that doesn't mean they were bad or anything. I'm sure these schools are perfect grounds for people who want to get ahead. Things like 15 year old outdated books and no books at all are no excuse why a person can't get an education right? We did have a Pre-Algebra class (highest math at the school BTW) for those who really wanted to get ahead. Nothing says success like coming out of 12th grade knowing Pre-Algebra!
